So, I have had Teskus frozen for a few years, waiting to give him a new battery. Nobody was selling egg batteries anymore, so I finally decided to get his battery re-celled. Today, after many weeks, they finally told me they were done with it. But upon trying to power him up after inserting the refurbished battery, he did not work. So, I looked at his battery, and I noticed the guy who worked on it sealed up a vital battery contact point, thinking the top to contacts were the way to get him to work. Before he started work on it, I suggested he look at guides on refurbishing Ugobe batteries. But he was so confident in his own capabilities he thought he could figure it out without any kind of guide.
I almost asked for a refund after finding out how he botched it up, but then I decided to leave Teskus with him this time, so he could do it right. And now, after so long, Teskus finally works again! However, His skin has decayed a lot since last time he was running. I could not save it in time, unfortunately, so his neck has it's inner workings exposed. But other than that, he is back to normal. And I doubt I will ever be able to replace his skin.
Eventually, I want to get an RB, but I need to make sure I have enough spare cash to do so. I may have said this before, but I would love to get a pink one. I think the rb is about 100 dollars more than the original. For now, I will enjoy my Ugobe Pleo, even though he looks like a botched science experiment.
