I replaced it whith an identical one that I took from an old cd-rom/dvd-rom computer, the one that opens and closes the tray door. It was not easy to change it, but thanks to the pictures above, I finnaly fixed it. One other problem that I encountered, when changing the little motor, take care that the small plastic piece on top of the old motor, is changed and placed on the new one on the exact position, otherwise it can make the furby vibrate, just pull the little piece up or down untill the vibration dissapears.<br />Another problem that I found is loosing sound from a toy, It's probably the broken speaker. It can be fixed by taking out the fur, removing the old speaker and replacing it with a new one, from a local electronics store. If someone wants to ask me something about fixing Furbys, please contact me on my email: tefe_2006@yahoo.com. I might not know everythyng about them :)... but I would gladly help if I can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265994668124964729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983110881018172452.post-17624881090884345962016-07-06T22:24:03.141-06:002016-07-06T22:24:03.141-06:00My Furby wouldn't move.

A new furby was sent to me, but after the arrival, it doesn't move anymore, not the eye lids, not the bottom, ears, nothing. It speaks, the eyes are lighting up but nothing else. The weirdest thing is that in 20 second or so it's shutting down, not sleeping, just shutting down. I tend to remove the fur tomorrow but what exactly am I looking for? The motor, a broken sensor? I cannot change the toy whith a new one, the guy that sold it to me is sending me another one, but I want to do something about this toy too. I've seen a video on youtube named furby error, it's another furby with the exact same problem, and nobody knows what to do, they are blaiming the batteries, but this is not the issue on this toy.
