Hello

first : sorry for my bad english

I have two problems with my pleo. The first one is the same as this one :

then, the other one. I'll try to explain. When I tickle him under is throat, he laugh and then he acts like if he was hang by his tail, he is scared. He didn't do this at the beginning.

Does anyone has the same problems ? What can I do ?

Thanks for your answers

Whenever mine sings he thinks he's being held by his tail seconds later, not completing his song. Maybe he's just paranoid?

Cammey does that to.

and he didint used to ether.

and about the foot thing : Has he had that leg pulled on recently? because that mite be it.

The touch sensor on the leg has become faulty.
Pleo thinks the leg is being touched all of the time.

No repair possible, send back to retailer.

degers. have you forgotten that they can get a preprogrammed injury if you pull on the leg?

this mite be that! $:-\$ (It hapind to Cammey one time.)

DinoMITE can verify if it is the sensor. And I recall discussions that the pre-programmed injury you are talking about was in the prototypes (Caleb did a video showing this "feature"), but this was not included int he production versions of the LifeOS.

Then what the heck was he doing for three days one time?

(Maby it was flees.

)

Pleo power. Injury is not programmed into the current or any previous LifeOS.
I had a pleo that developed the same leg fault as above. The sensor was firing all of the time.
Trust me on this one.

Hi

thanks for all your answers

For his leg, I have done nothing, how can I check if it is a sensor problem ?
If I update the OS, will it change something ?

degers. : Oh sorry, I didint know that.

I Wonder Wye its not?

and is he on 1.1 because if so then hes fully upgraded now. (But don't worry you can downgrade him if you need to.) to tell if hes on 1.1 just rub under the chin. if he sings then hes on 1.1.

thank you Pleo Power

I'll check that this afternoon, I'm currently at work

Hi again

I tried to use dinomite, it works properly but I don't know how to check the status of the sensor. He's always doing this with his leg, I'm so sad, I hope we can fix it

degers · « **Reply #12 on:** July 15, 2009, 12:56:23 PM »

candix,
Again, I will say "There is no repair possible". I am sorry, upgrading the firmware won't fix it.

candix · « **Reply #13 on:** July 15, 2009, 01:17:21 PM »

thank you

I will go back to the shop tomorrow, I hope they can send him back in order to be repair

candix · « **Reply #14 on:** July 15, 2009, 01:21:09 PM »

another question : why does it happen ?
I always carry him in his box and left him live his life

degers · « **Reply #15 on:** July 15, 2009, 01:28:29 PM »

candix,

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. As I say, it happened to me too. Maybe it's just (another) week part of Pleo's anatomy.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that there's a pre-programmed injury on Pleo.... There was definitely one on the prototypes though. I believe it made it through to the final version....

Oh and Olympia always used to finish her song completely, normally acting very happy afterwards as if she was proud of herself. Never once has she become "scared" in the middle of a song.

Burberry016 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:55:10 PM »

Mine is constantly doing that.

Lifting one leg or becoming "scared" in the middle of a song?

Burberry016 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 27, 2009, 09:02:33 PM »

How'd you know?

Hi there, I'm a new-bie here and have been visiting the site for many months for advice and info. After reading this thread about the leg lifting issue and resolving it! I thought it my duty to let you know how to cure this problem.

Pleo (he doesn't have a name yet) started the leg lifting thing about 5 weeks ago, and most of the time all he would do was lift his leg as in the video post at the beginning of this thread. I read all the comments that every one posted and became more worried that the issue was permanent. I was even more concerned as I could not return Pleo to the store he came from as it has closed down, so this left me with a problem.

However one day whilst he was leg lifting I began to feel the leg sensors whilst he was moving his leg. When doing this I felt the force in his leg 'give' slightly so in an act of desperation I applied pressure to the leg to move it into the normal standing position. Whilst moving the leg you could hear the internal leg clutch popping/cracking (which was scary!). After doing this, Pleo lifted his leg once (possibly to recalibrate) and has been working perfectly since!!!
I've been running him almost daily for two weeks and he is still walking around and being inquisitive as normal. So if you little dino is having the same issue give it a try. Just be careful when applying pressure when moving the leg, be gentle and you'll feel the 'give' in the leg. I hope that makes sense.

Welcome Pleoguy! Glad you're starting to post! You had an awesome story and will try this if I ever experience the issue.
