Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If the microphone of your Petcube Play 2 (identified by model number PP2OUS) is malfunctioning, use this guide to replace it.
The Petcube Play 2 comes with an LED that turns different colors that relay what state the Petcube is in. These can include when the LED turning green when setting up, turning blue when it is streaming, and error-related colors like orange when there is no access point. A defective LED will not turn on.
Before using this guide, ensure that there are no other issues with the LED. The Troubleshooting Page covers issues that could be preventing the LED from turning on and how to address them.
Ensure the Petcube Play 2 is turned off before beginning the replacement process. This guide requires soldering. For more information on soldering, take a look at this guide on How to Solder and Desolder Connections.
