How to mute a 2012 Furby's chirping/squeaking

The awful noise that you're hearing is how they communicate with the app; given that the app is no longer functional, there's no longer any use for it except to make my ears suffer.

I can't confirm whether or not this applies to Booms or Connects.

Step 1: Skin the baby! There are plenty of tutorials online on how to get that done.

Step 2: Look for an orange plug underneath the face. I suggest using tweezers to remove it, but instead of grasping, press the closed tweezers on the upper side (closer to the face) and drag them out towards you. It'll take a few tries.

And there you have it! Have fun with your newly well-behaved furb.

a quick troubleshooting guide for aibo! it can be hard to figure out what’s going on with your dog, especially when you’re first starting out, so i made this infographic to put some general information in one place.

you don’t have to figure out your robot’s problems all by yourself  - check out robotchat.github.io for a supportive community that can help you work out what’s happening and the next steps to take!

feel free to mirror on your aibo website or post in your own robot community, or print as a poster (DM me if you’d like the a4 resolution). just don’t scrub off my name and link back if possible!

GUYS!!! These glass cabochons come in packs of 50-100 and FIT FURBY 1998-1999 EYE CHIPS!!!!  The 14mm & 15mm ones fit adults (15 needs to be glued in) and the 12mm ones fit furby babies!!!  They’re super cheap and they magnify the iris ever-so-slightly so they’re great for expressive eyes!  I’m so happy, I didn’t think these would work!

How to Skin (or Shuck) a Shelby (+ Push Start)

I’m not going to lie to you: It was super hard to figure out how to open my Shelby. It took me maybe an hour of solid Google-ing to find any information, and it culminated in precisely one defunct website from 2002 that, upon later Google-ing, I could not find again. I owe that website my life, and if anyone can find it again, I’ll be very grateful.

1) Peel back the fur

You may have noticed all the screws on the bottom of your shelb. I don’t know what they hold in, but the good news is that you don’t need to either! Instead, you’ll want to comb through your Shelby’s fur until you find 5 screws: 2 lower on the back, 2 on the top behind Shelby’s ‘tennies, and 1 off-center in front of the ‘tennies. All these screws are slightly different sizes, so keep track of where they all go.

(This Shelby’s screws are very rusty, by the way. Yours probably won’t look quite so awful. They’ll also be very hard to find on shelbies with darker fluff)

You should be able to pull the fur and it’s plastic backing away from Shelby’s body now. It’s glued on at the bottom, but the fur doesn’t need to come off all the way, so you can leave that alone.

2) Free the shell

This one’s a little weird: When Shelby is facing you, you will find a screw on the left side of the body, screwed into the shell. Remove this screw and the piece it holds in. Do not repeat this step on the other side.

Here’s what it looks like inside the shell. The tapered side ends just inside the piece that holds Shelby’s eyelashes/unibrow in, and is only attached by the one screw. Again, completely ignore the matching piece on the right side of the shell. Though it’s the same part, it doesn’t do anything.

This piece is important to remove because it forms one half of the hinge that keeps Shelby’s shell from opening too far.

3) Remove the shell

You should be able to now wiggle the shell around pretty freely. To get it off, you need to rotate it 90 degrees and lift it over the ‘tennies. Rotating it is pretty tricky, because the fit around the base of the ‘tennies is pretty tight, but there’s a certain sweet spot that lets the shell rotate pretty smoothly. Just keep wiggling and twisting gently and you should be able to get it in the right spot, which looks like this:

Then it’s just a simple matter of maneuvering the ‘tennies through the slot!

Congratulations, you’ve done it! You may notice that Shelby looks a lot different from a Furby. Specifically, the speaker, motor, and cam gears are absolutely buried under each other! While it’s nowhere nearly as easy, you can still push-start a Shelby.

+) Push-starting

If you look in through the top of Shelby’s head, just about above the right eye, you should be able to see the cam. If you’re lucky, one of the 3-ish gears you’ll be able to see has a nub (very similar to the ones I talk about in my sync screw guide) that you can reach with a long, sturdy tool like a flathead screwdriver. With batteries in the shelb, gently push on the gear. Be ready to pull your tool out as quickly as you can, because just the lightest pressure can bring a Shelby out of a coma!

It is absolutely vital that you are gentle with these gears! If you apply too much pressure, you run the risk of warping the gear, and even the slightest scratch or bent tooth can permanently ruin these little bots. Use caution and never try to brute force plastic pieces!

hey yall i know that the strange furb customs bother some folks and it was just brought to my attention that some ppl need that stuff tagged SO i’m just sticking this out here that i’m going to use the tag “oddbodied furby” from here on in for any custom that isn’t like, the usual furb shape

i am doing this bc tagging things i love body horror makes me Deeply Uncomfortable for personal reasons 

so! the tag i will be using is

#oddbody furby

if anybody needs to tumblr savior that please do ! and i encourage folks to tag their various nonstandard furbs either that or #body horror, so we can keep everybody safe

p.s. if anybody wants to blacklist hodgepodge specifically her tag on my blog is 

#our lady of media mixed

[this post was edited to change the tag slightly to something easier to spell if you saw the one with oddbody furby you’re good. it didn’t have any notes yet so i think we’re okay]

[clownsfurby]

If anyone needs to be cheered up I will do my best to give you tons of pictures of my small furby friends! I'm getting a 2005 tomorrow before we go camping so I can get special pictures then!
