Vtech Emil the Panda

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

When Emil won't work well, deoxidize the springs.

Emil is a talking baby-laptop which works with cards, that have holes which trigger the programs.

When the spring sensors are oxidized, the cards can't work and the programs don't start.

So you must deoxidize the contacts at the springs.
