I had the same "Reset Pleo rb to hatching" off the internet more than nine months ago, and thought it sounded too good to be true, so I contacted PleoPet who asked me to send him the information. Luckily I knew not to try it and he confirmed it would only damage Pleo rb, so I never attempted it. It is too bad cause the article is written by a "so called computer" whiz or person who knows what they , ( She ) is doing. If it had worked, I would have used it on PC, I thought it strange that PC, my newest RB only had two hours according to Stats RB or Probe Rb, but that is all the life she had, so I was just lucky to get a Pleo Rb practiclaly new.
I had the same problems with battery indicator light going automaticlaly after inserting battery , fully charged to RED. Also no sounds or movement at all, but myne was after using Probe RB. The pleo rb I had this problem with is my little girl, Cammie Sue. It took hours and hours but with Pleo Pets instructions and luck, I got her to work again and the indicator light turns green as it should now, but the strange thing is that Cammie -Sue will only work with the Micro SD card kept in her, When I remove the SD card which has a female RB update on it, CAmmie Sue quits working, so she leaves it in permanently now. Innvo labs was no help to me, it was either the update worked or send her to Innvo Labs and I didn't have the money to send her off, with no quarantee she would or could be fixed.
If Innvo Labs can't help, you, I would send a message to Pleo Pet, they are very good at this sort of thing and saved Cammie -Sue for me! Please do not attempt anything else in the meantime. Is your Pleo RB still under warranty? That may be your best or only real hope if under the 90 day period, I did hear you say revert back to hatching, so not sure how old your pleo RB is.. Good luck.
