Hi there! I got a question about Furby Original. I have some. Most of them are OK. But two of them after asleep can't wake. Doesn't matter how long I shake them they don't wake. If I press 'restart' button they will wake and work but after their asleep again its not possible to awake if you shake or move it, just 'restart' works.

You must go to where you bought the Furby and let the engineer or staff of the shop, help fix this problem.

Thanks, but Furby Original has been produced from 1998 till 2000.

I know what you meant by Furby Original, but just in case maybe skilled engineers may help fix.

Thanks!
I'm a skilled engineer, master of engineering in TV and electronics.
I'm just asking if somebody has experience in cases like mine.

Oh. Well, most people here is not engineers. Because, mostly people came here to contribute in wikis.
And your welcome! Happy to help!

Thanks a lot for your attention!
I have repaired a lot of Furbies Original, Furby, Furby Boom, Furby Boom Crystal including DC motor replacement, speaker replacement, etc.
But I couldn't solve that problem. I have it just with some Furby Original.

No need to thank me, I'm here to help!
Also I found a link that might help you with your problem if you needed any help : http://www.instructables.com/id/Push-Start-a-Comatose-Furby/
Make sure you have the right equipments though. If it still doesn't work you might wanna ask to buy another Furby for entertainment, because the original Furby don't function well as the current (modern) one.

Hi @Young Little Unicorn!
Thanks a lot!
About the link you've sent about comatose Furby.
That works for Furby with blocked DC motor and will work just for couple of days or less because that guy just moved manually little bit the rotor of the motor.
In case like that I replace the motor or dismount it and clean the rotor and the brushes and fit it back. After that 'treatment' Furby will work for years.
I found the reason why my Furby couldn't wake. The tilt sensor is out of order.
All Furbies have a tilt sensor and if you move, shake or hold Furby upside down it will wake ( if the tilt sensor is OK of course ).
I checked my Furby with tilt sensor from another one and it works OK.
I ordered some sensors and now I'm waiting for delivery.
Enjoy your weekend!
Peter
