I think you'll find the post is old and most of his parts are sold .... I'm one of the few people in the UK who are currently repairing ERS-210s ..... on eBay I'm aibomick .... check out my feedback. What parts do you need? What's up with your Aibo?
I try to change the battery in the foot but the issue is still here It's very strange, the pleo says it's in a good shape, no injury, but nothing happens, just the repeat of two beep.
Hi - you have to remember that - like so many of the toy robotics we play with now - are actually very very old. I have a number of I-Cybies - fortunately all working. Like the Robosapiens and others - the plastic around the wiring is now very brittle and can break off small soldered joints very easily - my educated guess is that the wires have simply come off the speaker unit.
Now - it's not easy to get in there to fix it even if you're up to some best fat burner for men fairly delicate soldering - and the risk of disconnecting even more wires is great unless you're super careful.
If you really want advice as to how to strip the I-Cybie down then post here again - I don't often check in - every few days - but I'll try to help.
If you're not up to dismantling and soldering then you have a mute I-Cybie - sorry about that .... I could always sell you another ... I have several.
There's nothing you (or anyone else) can do about the internal software program that's running the dog - it's just not accessible ....
Regards, Mick
Thanks for details. In my opinion sound is not a necessary to play a game. But we can hope that it will improve with time.
If anyone knows, please tell me how to find out the version of Life OS on which Pleo is running? I want to try to reset my Ugobe to a newborn, but I also want to understand what OS it has. I have another Ugobe, and it behaves differently: It loads longer, walks less, and if you stroke it under the chin, it sings, not howls.
Thought I would give another update on this Pleo! I have tried running skits in him, but they will not run. It may be that he isn't equipped to run normal Ugobe skits or firmware, or it could just be that his internal battery is so far gone that he doesn't have enough power to start up even when plugged in (he has a plug on his belly so that he should be able to be run while plugged into an outlet). Still a mystery as to how he's in a different position than he was in the listing photos!
Also interesting that in the other prototype sold by the same person, the leg touch sensors were positioned on the feet themselves instead of up at the hip. The other prototype listed also had a snapped cable in his neck already, so that seems to have been an issue with Pleos from the start. Peep's skin has never been removed, so I don't know what he looks like on the inside! His cables feel intact though.
Here's a photo of what his belly looks like/how it's different from a normal Pleo's:
He has an internal battery and a few extra ports that aren't present on regular Ugobes. (I believe the name of the animator who worked with him was Tony Waters, hence the "TW" signature on his foot.)
I found a Ugobe video on Youtube, which may have captured Pip. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teQzPQOkEe0 < But I'm not sure what it is, because the animator who works with him here is Eric Regner. Although.... Who knows?
