Chosen Solution
Our zebra striped Furby 2012 had a hard fall and became “narcoleptic”. Waking up, no movement, half opened lit eyes, talking a little and just shutting off within half a minute. Following other posts, I opened the Furby, was able to remove the 6V DC motor and test drive it and see it was no longer functioning. Ordered a new motor on Ebay, got it installed and now…. what? Now I have new problems and need help. Furby moves and sounds but is completely maniac. I suspect that the gearing needs to be in a starting position, but I have no Idea how to get there. I only find results for old Furby gear online. There may also be something else, but I’ve come to the end of ideas. Anyone that has come this far and managed to solve it? Other ideas? Anything is appreciated. /Ulrika
Ok so once you get the 6V DC motor, you’ll need to solder it on the pre existing motor wires, you got the furby moving which is good, but the sound is an issue. So if its coming from the speaker, the speaker might be damaged from the fall and sadly might need replacing. If it’s just the gears grinding, I recommend using WD40 lubricant, it will help a smoother flow of movements and limit the sound. If you feel as if you can’t do anything else with the gears, you could find a replacement at stores such as Skycrafts or RadioShack. I’m hoping some of these pictures may help:
