Title: New pleo rb just arrived. Moves a few second and starts beeping
Post by: Bunderwood on December 24, 2011, 08:18:06 PM
Have a very sad daughter here at Christmas. Pleo rb just sits and beeps at hatching stage but no eyes closed   Nw fully charged battery. Tried both of the batteries.  Tried resetting him once just to see but same thing.  Did we get a lemon?   Anyone heard of this?

Please help, so sad!

I'm so glad it was so easily solved!  It would be lovely to hear how your daughter and Bingo get on.   :snowman:
