I am an old "new" Pleo owner. Bought him in 2008, came home from deployment super excited to try him out and socialize with my chihuahua but it was epic fail. Dog was not interested and Pleo didn't ever really do much. After reading about problems with early Pleo I suspect battery plus other issues. I forgot about him but could not get rid of...after all it had been so expensive and was such a cool robot. I tried to turn him on after charging about a year ago and nothing happened. Forgot about him again. Boyfriend moving in - garage sale - he picks it up and recommends selling for 2.0 (he does not know it is a robot!) I would rather someone have this equipment who might be able to fix it- someone who knows what it is! Is there any value left in this robot? What should I do? I am not handy. I don't want to keep him on the shelf any more, skin deteriorating even more. It has split in a few places. To say I am disappointed with the initial quality is an understatement, but I guess that is why the first company went under. Any tips,ideas, suggestions, anyone interested in taking on a resurrection project? Thank you for your time and expertise.
