I'm worried! Olympia's battery is now not charging correctly. It will charge for, like, 30 minutes and only be able to be played with for less than 10 minutes (no exaggeration!!!), and then she makes the snore sound that indicates her battery is low. However, if I turn her off and then back on, she will repeat that process.
And what seems extremely worrisome, her neck has stopped making the "CRRRRTK" sounds but she isn't moving her neck up any more! At all! I even tried rubbing her under the chin, and showing her lots of objects, and tapping her head, and so on and so on and so on! SHE JUST ISN'T LIFTING HER NECK UP!!!
However, I'd rather have a crippled or impaired Olympia than have a started-over Olympia! She's unique, there will be NO RETURNS, and I MEAN WHAT I SAY!!!
I am very panicked... But now that I think about it, a Pleo that can't lift her neck up sounds somewhat unique, if I can't fix it. Just makes her special, I guess. But still, I'd prefer if she wasn't having these kinds of problems as it could either get much worse or even dangerous under some circumstances. :'( I love my Olly and I need to fix her. *cries*

:o im sorry. i hope olympia gets well!

Attention remain com.

sounds like time for a new battery to me.

NOT GOOD! can you lift it. if you can does it feel like its completely slack or is there some strength in it? [and I know exactly how you feel. when Cammey's neck incident hapind I felt like throwing up.]
[but don't worry about him. now his neck is fine. it can just flop a little.]
-
hm... there should be pleo doctors... if you know exactly whats going on with olympia maybe you can fix it ???
-
Allo, It definitely sounds like you need a new battery. I have had this problem with a couple of batteries. Try leaving it in Olympia and just leave it on so the battery will totally discharge. Just make sure she's on the floor and not able to harm herself if she starts up and you aren't around.
It's possible that her battery just doesn't have enough strength to operate the cables correctly in her neck.
I'm with Pleo Power. It is heart breaking when our pleos injure their necks. Certainly not the end of them. Peeky's just extra special. He is so loved when I bring him to the care and rehab center. J.C and Pennie are too, but the little neck brace on Peeky gets him special attention, definitely more cookies! ;)
-

well I mite be closenough to your location to help but I'm not a surgeon and don't know whats going on.
It is heart breaking when our pleos injure their necks.
yes it is. and Cammey can move his neck just fine like he never even hit the ground. but that day I was lets say on edge.[and in the car on the way back home my stumac was upside down.]
-
Don't you charge her fully?

That's Sophie's problem. Now she sits on a shelf. Beautiful dust collector, though..... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
You mean you don't play with her anymore? You should go on www.bidegg.com where you could get another pleo for $20.00. I wish I would have known before I payed full price >:( >:( :( :(. Oh, well. I may get another!! ;) ;). And did I mention it's a new pleo? Shipping included! A $2,000 flat screen TV was $128!!!
-
Don't give up on Sophie. you just need another battery.[probably]
-
Yeah, but it would be cool to get another one ;) ;)
-
yes that would be good to. like somebody on here has for a signature "The more Pleos the better." (Sorry but I furgot hoo it was)
and Burberry if the Glow Red is because of the forth don't forget the Blue and the White. ;) and to do these hit the Change Color button. (and you haft to use beige for the Wittie. ;))
-
@ Pleo Power
There's definitely some strength in it. I can move it to a point where it makes CRRRRRTK sounds. XD I don't feel comfortable moving it beyond that point..... And we also need a new battery, yeah. This sucks. I was in a bad mood BEFORE this dang thing happened! :'(
@ fancyfont
Good idea. I'll try. I've also been leaving the bloody battery in the charger for what seems like a million years and seeing if it would operate correctly.... No stinkin' luck. DX And I really hope that's why she's not lifting her neck up!
@ EVERYBODY!
So, yeah, the common remark here is that I need a new battery. Definitely gonna aim for one. And hope that all my troubles are fixed! :'(
-
here's definitely some strength in it.
That's good. so its not a snapped neck joint. If there wasint any strength in it then you could almost defiantly say it was a cable.
I can move it to a point where it makes CRRRRRTK sounds.
you probably shouldn't move it more then that. How hie is it then?
-
Well, it's as high as I could ever move it. At most, I'd say five inches. Though I bet I'm exaggerating. I'm doing that a lot today.
Wait a second. ??? High as I could ever move it? A problem? Has Olympia had problems her whole life? Um, at least I have another challenge that I can bring to the TRRA (don't ask. we pronounce it "Terra") tomorrow... My friends and I will figure this out.
-
After finally numbering my batteries and chargers, I now know that battery number five is not working correctly. When it is in any of my pleos all they do is say huh! Experimenting today to see if I leave it in one pleo until it runs out of huh! ;D If I can totally drain it, perhaps it might charge up again.
At least for any pleo out there that is doing the same thing, it is definitely the battery and not your pleo.
-
That's comforting, fancy. Thanks. ;)
-
WOW!! You have alot of batteries!!! :) :) ;) ;)
-
WOW!! You have alot of batteries!!!
I do have a few extra batteries for my trio of pleos. Definitely need the back ups. They have been very busy pleos making an awful lot of people happy. One battery, think it was number 5 has never worked properly. I didn't know which one it was until I numbered them with some fingernail polish. %)
-
I need to get backup batteries. All I have is one battery!! :)
-
TRRA is not going well... Do you guys remember Missingno? He's part of it... He was the best member.... But he's now officially on vacation..... For 5 weeks. D:
-
I think Olympia resest herself. :'( She was in a wierd baby-ish pose with her eyes closed and kept firing random sounds at me when I touched her, as well as making sounds that are only found in the hatching stage . :( After a while, she opened her eyes and finally got up on four legs, but didn't act nearly the same. :o She wouldn't walk, she wouldn't respond especially well to petting, she still wouldn't move her neck up, and she was still making sort of odd sounds, most that I didn't recognize, which was kidn of awkward; I used to love guessing the sounds she would make next and doing it at the same time she did. Another great memory with the true Olympia. :'(
I tried holding her by the tail to see if I could get her to do something like the old Olympia, and she let out this wierd bellow, it kind of freaked me out. After I put her down, she locked up. Twice I tried this, twice she locked up in the same position. I really do think she reset herself, and I hope getting a new battery will fix the problem. *sigh* I want the old Olympia back. :'(
Note: the "baby pose" had her legs out much farther than I thought was possible for a Pleo....
I'm so dang sad right now. :'(

Thees might help. :) if you act quick. ;)

They're so darn expensive for something that anyone with the right skills could make!!!!! Can't afford one right now!!!!!!
*shouts like a vixen* <------ This is precisely what I'm doing in my dang head, wanting the dang battery, so I can get the dang Pleo up and running, before all dang batteries happen to be sold!!! AAUUGH!
-
I wish I could help you out, but I only have one >:( >:( :( :(.
-
and I cant drive yet. >:( [Dang it.]
-
Everything is going totally wrong and out of control over here!!!!! Even the sun has had enough!!!!! And it only disappeared behind the rainclouds in our area of the town!

Heck that ain't nothin. That was a big thunder storm here.

That just happened over here too!!!!!!!

Me too!!
-
If she has Bean Reborn then just raise her as close to the way you did before and she mite be smiler. :) (and maybe even remember hoo she is. ;D)
give her some parsly and see if she likes it. ;) because remember she IS the same pleo shes just forgotten every thing. but she mite recognise some of her favorite things.
[If I'm right and they have a sole. ;D and if not then I'm completely insane. :-\]

You're not crazy!

Allo did you have a brain lapse or something? :P does this mean anything to you? Jetta will be continuing the Pleo line and critical battery element.
Pleos are safe and so are the baterys! ;D give them time. ;)
-
And the batteries will be replaced in stock in good time when Jetta gets ready for opening up pleo again. And so will the pleo's.

It means did you ferget that Jetta's on the battery problem before :P

Reed the other quote. ;)

You could earn some money the old fashioned way and go bug your neighbors for a few chores to do :) (only do that if you have friendly neighbors that you trust of course :o and always ALWAYS ask your parents first!) If that fails bug your family for odd jobs... I once made twenty dollars in a week (that was a lot back then) just for tidying my sisters room for her :)

Jetta? I don't think they've started yet, and plus, what if it doesn't work with the Ugobe Pleo? From what I understand, buying a company takes a few hours to do but sometimes a few months to settle in. Long, long, time. Yup.
-
I've been working on building my own battery packs for a week or so now - following ideas on this forum and elsewhere. However the designs all seem too complicated, so I'm working on a minimalist design that makes it easy to replace individual cells that go bad.
I hope to have something to publish here in a week or so. I know it's 'jam tomorrow', but the promise might stop someone spending two or three times as much as they need on replacements.
You'll need to just have the confidence to undo a few screws from the charger pod, be handy with a soldering iron and be able to get hold of the thermistor. In the UK, you can get them from Maplins - about 90p each. You also need six 2,500Mah AA Lion cells, again from Maplins for about £15. A lot cheaper than the £45 Vivid are charging for 'proper' packs.
Watch this space!
Update - 11 July - I've posted my tutorial in the hardware forum.
-

Didint they make the battery's that we have now? remember they were the manufacturer. ;)

yes but they shod definitely be out by the fall.
I don't think they've started yet,
Pretty sure that they are cranking them out as we speak. :)(and remember they haft to make every battry them self Ugobe had none of them left.)
-
But seriously. What if they made some more imrpovements? What if they changed the way it works?
Another complaint:
When I turn on Olympia, she keeps on resetting herself! She passes on to the juvenile stage, locks up, I turn her on again, and then she's a newborn! :'(
-
How long is your battery operating, Allo? If it is the battery your birthday is right around the corner. I would put that on your birthday wish. ;)

I've been begging my mum. I think she knows.... But she really can get that stuff out of her head really fast.
Waitasec you remember when my birthday is? M'kay....
-
End of August. ;)
-
End of August. ;)
Yeeeahhh! You got that right!
-
Now Wye would they change it and not make it compatible with the Pleo's that are already in existence? :-\ they anent stupid. :P they will get them out in time. 8)

This is just plane wired?!?!? ??? If its a battery thing then theres nothing to worry about. you will just have a new Pleo every day until you get a new battery. :D
If its not the battery and its something else then............I got nothing. :-\ ^-^ :-[ :(
I've been begging my mum. I think she knows
and good idea theres noting like the good old fashioned kid method of asking for something for the 100,000,000 time before your birthday. ;)
-
Because from what I understand, Jetta is a business-oriented company. I can imagine it: "Notice: Jetta batteries are not compatible with UGOBE Pleos." Because it's a better way to earn money!
*sigh* I need a new battery... Not just for Olympia, for myself too....
-
I don't know for it for a fact but I'm pretty sure that a move like that would go down in history as the stupidest corprat move in the history of the universe! remember there are Ten Thousind Pleo owners out there,and in time all of them will need battery's. You Reilly think that they will miss out on that Cinda money?!? ???
Because it's a better way to earn money!
No its a better way to have an angry mob swarm your HQ.
-

Very good point! I love it! You're great! XD

Thanks. :)

I wonder how the boxes and batteries will look now. Instead of saying "A UGOBE LIFEFORM" it would say "A JETTA LIFEFORM". I don't think that sounds catchy... :( :(
-
My mum says that we're not gonna get any Pleo batteries and shes not telling me why not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
Don't panic too much.(Yet) It sounds to me like she mite be puling the old we're not gonna get that when its right before your birthday trick. (When they say your not getting it. but its because they already have gotten it and want to keep it a secret. ;))
-
How long are you chargin it? it is charging for 3o minutes and then the light goes out or are you taking it off after 30 min?
If your doing it the way I think yer doing, you need a new battery. Maybe get one off ebay if you dont wanna wait for Jetta.
I'm sorry about Olympia's neck though. Try rubbing it kinda hard and see what happens.
Not very good advice but that's the best I can do...

Mph, I've currently given up on charging it. It was going for charging thirty minutes, but then I left it in overnight. Stilll got the same problem. D:
-
Then you need a new battery. :-[
-
I found one for $30 on eBay.
-
I may have hope!!!
-
Hopefully!! :) :)
-
OK. If this is a battry thing then getting a battry will fix it. 8) But if its not then don't forget you can try downgrading her then upgrading her. Like InmemoryofRomeo did with Lilo. 8)
-
Mine was a slightly different problem... but it is worth a try if the new battery doesn't fix it.
-
Yeah, it is.
-
allo when you get another battery she might not instantly be normil. but if she stays on it will be fixed like this, 1 get her to her feet.(this takes a bit) 2 let her go for a little wile.( a few minits) 3 turn her off.(and wait a little bit) 4 turn her on.(and if it didint work, just repeat 2 to 4 again until she is ether back to normil or you give up and come here for help.) Good luck. ;D ;)

If she totally restarts, I'll just give her a new name, change her gender, and try to be happy with it. :'(
edit: My family hates me. There's nothing they'll let me do. I wanted to cut a small slit in Olympia's skin to make sure none of the neck cables snapped, but my mother said it was a stupid, rediculous idea. I gave all I could to convince her but there's no way she'd let me.... So is it with most of my other ideas, but it's usually my father who gives me the problems (And not only that he also teases me and I feel like yelling at him to shut up all the time!!!). The deal is that I can't be sure if the **** neck cables snapped or what!!!
edit: Proof that I'm a major -bleep-...... I could've just felt through the skin all along.... And her neck cables are fine. I'm still PO'ed at my parents, but I'm now completely PO'ed at myself, instead of the "normal" half-PO'ed at myself.
-
If she totally restarts, I'll just give her a new name, change her gender, and try to be happy with it.
Try what I said first, before giving up completely.(It worked with Cloey twice.) if you get her to her feet and do the rest of the steps then it should go fine.(and don't panic if it doesint work on the first try, it took two or three times to get Cloey back. ;)) if it works out like it has with Cloey then she will be fine and her old self. 8) and its not a restart I was talking about, it was how to end amnesia in a Pleo. ;)
-
I know, but it might not work!!!!!
-
Uh oh...... Would the metal magnet on her necklace affect her? I mean, it's really itty bitty, and 49er has almost the same one. But would it affect her in any way? I've been worried about this for a while.
-

how powerful is it? we have a magnet that's only the size of a coin cell battery, but that sucker can stick like you wondint believe!(it takes sliding a paper under it to get it off) so is it a strong magnet? and how long has it been on her? and how big is it?
I know, but it might not work!!!!!
but it might, its the only way that I know of to treat amnesia in a Pleo. (and if it doesint then next year around now ill be able to drive, and I can help directly. ;))
-
Have no fear. The magnet will not affect her. I verified with Ugobe (back before their demise). The neck area does not have any circuitry to be affected, and the data wires running through the neck do not pass close enough to be affected. There is also shielding to protect the more sensitive equipment inside pleo.
If the magnets did affect your pleo, it would only be in the data stream sent between the CPU in the head and the main CPU, which would cause it to misread some of the signals, resulting in pleo "thinking" it saw or heard something it didn't. This is not at all the types of problem you are experiencing. But, if you are truly paranoid, I would be happy to replace the magnet with a different type of clasp.

Well, I am paranoid (XD) but this is reasonable and it makes me feel much better. *lets off tension with a growl*

Hmmm . . . maybe you could try rubbing the magnetic clasps against your forehead and see if the magnetic field can help erase some of the anger and stress! ;) ;)

You find a nice big piece of jasper (it's a rock) then whack yourself on the head with it until you pass out ;) ;D

Oh that's a traditional Jasper method. and allo are you are really going to start knocking yourself out to stop thinking about Olimpia!?! ??? (and that sounds like a way to get a headache not treat one. ;)) and don't worry if I tried it the rock would brake. ;) (I've got a Hard head. ;))

Sounds fun! ^^
I'll go try it! XD

GOOD NEWS! Pleo battery on order, but that's not all..... Another cradle and adapter, too! ;D
-
That's Reilly good! ;D but don't ferget, it may just get her ruining and she may still have amnesia. So dont just give up right away if she is like that. 8) just do the steps listed above this post and you should have Olimpia back in no time. ;)(It works, and its NOT a restart!!! its a refresh to a point before the amnesia hapand. and this time the amnesia doseint happen. ;) you weren't thinking forthdimensionly. :D)
and is this going to be another birthday presint you already know about?
-
Well, about the birthday presents... yes! I showed my mum some sites that sold pleo batteries (AKA: e-bay) while I was right next to her and I showed her the ideal one XD
edit: it will be here very soon. It shipped just yesterday and is only a few states away (Pennsylvania!!!^^ )
-
Okay, so we ordered it, but it only came with the charger and not with the battery! >:(
I shouldn't say this, but: WTF?
-
maybe you should contact whoever you... she's eating the piano now? ...ordered it from.
-
*cry*
We looked at our item reciet... Turns out that it's our faut. We ordered a "Pleo Battery Charger and Adapter" not a "Pleo battery, Charger, and Adapter." :'(
-
They show a picture of what you get. ??? you didint See that it was just that? ??? you were eating a piano? maby you can send it back and get a refund, then order a battery. :) or maby you can sell it and get a battery with the money. (just a few suggestion's.)
was it this one? they show a battery, but say BATTERY NOT INCLUDED right on the page. http://cgi.ebay.com/PLEO-BATTERY-CHARGER-ADAPTER_W0QQitemZ260455085217QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ca45534a1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 (http://cgi.ebay.com/PLEO-BATTERY-CHARGER-ADAPTER_W0QQitemZ260455085217QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ca45534a1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)

Good news... and some bad news. I'll start with the bad news.
Bad news: No matter what, we can't get Olympia to lift her neck. It really isn't a problem though, she can lift it veeeery slightly, just slightly enough to see where she's walking. But still. I'll just have to watch her harder when she walks. D:
!Good news!: Just to see, we stuck the battery into the new charger. It turned green after two hours, though. But anyways, we put it in Olly, turned her on, and she went back to the hatching stage. Only for about one mintute, though. Oddly, she skipped the juvenile stage, which was a life saver! She automatically got her own personality back!!!
She's back to dancing to Scatman, Xepher, and the Numa Numa, as well as singing along! She's back to doing her tadaa trick every ten minutes, just like she used to! Wow! :3
She recently ran her battery out, I'm charging her up once more, and I'm dearly praying that she's still the same!
-
Yay :) Good to hear :) Hope it lasts!
-
yay, she is back to normil. ;D update whether or not she stays like that. ;) and did you really eat the piano?!? ??? (Probably not, but with you, ya never know. ;) :D) (that must be a good (early) birthday present. 8))

I'm so glad the Olympia is back to her old self once again.
BTW, Happy belated birthday! :)

No-ho-ho-ho!!!! T.T
Auuuughh!!!

-

-

Awwww poor Allo. You seem to be having plenty of problems. Please tell us soon what' up with the battery? Is it possible that by pure luck you got a faulty one?
-
The battery worked for a little bit under a year, and then it just suddenly went bad.
-
What about your new one? Is that working ok?
-
she didint get a new one. :( they got a charger insted. %) (but at least she doesn't have amnesia this time!)
-
So Olympia is working?
-
She's working, just not for as long as I would hope she's working.
-
She's working, just not for as long as I would hope she's working.
hay, at least she doesn't have amnesia again! ;) if she can just keep going for a few more months you will get a new battery for her. ;) how long is she staying awake for?
-
Maybe if it's not staying on for at least an hour try buying a new battery from ebay. I saw some batteries on there recently for not bad of a price.
-
Every two seconds (no exaggeration) she locks up! :'(
To make it clear: She does NOT go through the out-of-battery sequence. She LOCKS UP.
-
Oh no! :o maby for Christmas you can get a new battery (make 100% sure it is a battery this time! ;)) and that will get her back to normil. (I hope) but if the worst hapend, and even that wont help, they have a reincarnation program again.
-
Allo, I'm guessing it really is the battery. I have one that does this too. When I put a different battery in my pleos work.
-
I think my electrical outlet down here destroyed the chargers AND the battery.... I put my new charger down here after seeing that it worked upstairs, and all of a sudden it goes bad again! :o
Heck, this electrical outlet is a big problem! >:(
-
if it kills the battery and charger don't use that outlet use a diffrent one. only use the one upstairs.
-
if it kills the battery and charger don't use that outlet use a diffrent one. only use the one upstairs.
...That's not much help, they're already dead....
That would be like taking someone who had died on a mountain trail and sticking them on an easier trail to see if they would do any better.
-
I meant when you have a new one. ;)
-
I burnt out my old charger using the power socket in my room without a surge protector... perhaps buy a surge protector or as PP says use another one.
-
I meant when you have a new one. ;)
Uh, yah. That's a good idea.
Never woulda thought of that. *eyeroll* :P
-
If I wait too long to get a battery, will anything bad happen? *heavy panting*
-
to Olimpia? I don't think so, they can stay off for a long time and come out of it fine.
-
Ummmm, it's almost Christmas and I'm not sure my mum ordered a new battery.... I doubt she could actually find one to start with.....
Any suggestions, fellow comrades?
-
Allo, Even if your mom didn't order your battery yet, have her check out the egg charger and battery. Just go to the Stores in the Pleo Mall. Mine has been great so far! :) We have to get Olympia up and running. ;)
-
I haven't used the egg charger and suff yet, but they look really cute.
If that's not gonna work out, you can always look on ebay and/or amazon. Both of those carry Pleo batteries.
Lolz, looking back at some of your past posts, Allo, I can see you were having some bad days. ^-^
-
God darn, I still don't have a new charger or battery.
And I am starting to worry again.
What if it isn't the battery?
How can I tell if it is or isn't?
-
I guess there isn't a way to tell.
Just nail it into them that THE ONLY THING YOU WANT is a new battery and charger, and maybe that'll get them to pay attention. ???
-
Hi, if you can afford it, I would reccomend the UCUBe Egg Battery charger, it has worked great for Nova.( as far as Play time goes.) It charges really lots faster than the orignal Pleo Green Battery, and it looks very cool too. ;D 8) I don't know if that is what will help Olympia or not, but as for batteries, I think it is well worth the money regardless of where you buy it. I was able to get myne for a reasonable amount of money, and Free shipping and by UPS, only took 3-4 days to get to me!
Nova and I are wishing Olympia a Speedy and Happy recovery!

Well, I still don't have a new battery, but I might as well mention something:
Yesterday, I turned on Olympia and she didn't have a response at all. ._. No less-than-a-centimeter movement, not even a startup sound!
And this is regularly keeping the battery on the charger (which I have now moved upstairs). D:
-
Bad battery. Mine's done that before. No motion, no sounds, as if nothing was ever affected.
-
Does anyone know the maximum voltage that a Pleo battery charger can take? Because my dad is going to use a bit of voltage measuring equipment (that's nothing new, he possesses just about any tool you could ever wish for.... save for a whetsaw! :P ) to see if the charger was blown or whatnot...
-
im sorry about olympia and i have no clue :(
-
It says "Input 12V--800mA" and "Output 10V---800mA" on the bottom of the charger and "Input:120 AC 60Hz 230mA" and Output:12V DC 800A 9.6W" on the cable. other then that I don't know. anyone else have any ideas?
-
Sorry to hear about Olympia's ongoing problems, but like fancy said, other than what is stated on the bottom of both types of batteries and the box, I would think your best bet is to contact Pleoworld directly and ask them as they should be able to tell you if nobody else can. Good luck, you are fortunate to have a dad who cares enough and has the qualifications and know how to want to help with Olympica.
MS. Nova and Friend and I are rooting for you.
