Me Sleep Again (MSA) is a common fault condition that occurs in 1998 Furbys. A Furby with MSA will continuously fall asleep during or after its wake-up cycle, saying "Me sleep again," "Kah way-loh koh-koh," "Kah sleep koh-koh," or "Kah way-loh again" depending on which development stage it's in.

  • This feature is intended to prevent the Furby from waking up when not in the upright position.
  • Some Furbys appear to lack this behavior entirely, suggesting it was introduced at a certain point. [original research]

Causes[]

  • Tilt sensor reported in an incorrect location.
    • Tilt sensor is broken.
    • Tilt sensor is dirty.
    • Tilt sensor has oxidation.
    • Broken tilt sensor wires.

Fixes[]

These fixes may not work on the first try, and may not fix the Furby for future wake-ups.

  • Replace the batteries
  • Turn the Furby upside-down and gently shake it
  • Keep waking the Furby up until it works
    • The Furby might refuse to wake up several times in a row as a result of regular random behavior and not a failed tilt sensor unless this behavior is persistent.
  • Hard restart (due to the tilt sensor not working, the name and personality will be retained) [original research].
    • Hold the Furby upside-down
    • Put finger in mouth and hold down the tongue
    • While pressing the tongue, press the reset button on the bottom of the Furby
  • If the Furby is awake, do a soft reset (in attempt to fix future wake-ups)
    • Press the reset button on the bottom of the Furby.
  • Replacing the tilt sensor wires (advanced)
    • Tilt sensor wires are thin and small, making them easily damaged internally. This can be diagnosed by using a voltmeter and performing a continuity test on the wires.
    • Soldering new wires onto the tilt sensor is an effective way to fix this issue.
  • Clean the tilt sensor (advanced)
    • There are three known types of tilt sensors used. All of these can be cleaned. One can be cleaned easier than the others. Click here for a guide.
    • Using "Caig DeOxit D5" on tilt sensors improves continuity test results compared to cleaning alone, as it removes oxidation and enhances conductivity.
  • Replace the tilt sensor (advanced)
    • Replacing the tilt sensor is the only 100% effective fix for MSA. Finding a new replacement tilt sensor is extremely difficult due to it being a custom 2-way tilt sensor. The easiest is from a donor Furby.


Trivia[]

  • A Furby exhibiting this behavior can be seen in a video featuring Caleb Chung, the creator of Furbys, here.
