with the safe arrival of Rose comes another disaster my ugobe 'Bruno' is no longer working, he was working fine a day ago but yesterday i turn him "tick tick tick" from the speaker no movement nothing but non stop clicking. the same battery works in my other ugobe so it's not a battery problem. RWM has suggested i use Dinomite i have it set up and stuff on my other pleo but i have no clue on how to use it to give me a report on the condition of Bruno. i will make a video of him doing this soon. thanks for all the help i'm very emotional right now

Sorry to hear that, Bonus. I hope someone can get you sorted out soon.

Sadly Lilo did that twice, just stopped for no apparent reason First time I just kept turning her off and on and she eventually woke up, second time I ended up doing a downgrade to POP and then re-upgrading and she's be fine ever since. Try turning him off and on a dozen times quickly, ie wait for the start up sound, if there's no movement turn straight off, rinse and repeat. Then try a skit, then try a downgrade.

Hi sorry about Bonus, I agree with IMR, I do think a skit is the fastest way to try and find out first, even before using Dinomite. A skit works a lot of times and if it does, then perhaps a download is all that is needed. Why not try any of the skits in the download section first, but be sure to have a fully loaded battery to have it accurate and try it also in your other dino. It is works in your other Pleo, then you know it has been downloaded correctly. Hopefully this solves the problem. I am sorry about Bonus, IMR, you were lucky to have Lilo come back to life.                           RWM

I tried a skit but the ticking just went on it still will not move... I never tried the power switch thing I will try. I just tried but no improvement...  I also tried a downgrade but same thing happens

 Bonus, whly not try the USB cable download with Bonus, Try resetting him with a download like 1.1 if he is 2.0. It is easy to reset him later. I have been having the same problem with a pleo I have where it barely moves and no talking at all, but it will run the skits and move slightly on it's own. Mayby Kat or IMR have more ideas but do not give up yet. I am very sorry that this happened to you.                RWM

The Pleo is called Bruno not Bonus RWM.

I will make a video today, I have tried connecting him to the computer by USB but he is already 1.1 and it didn't recgonize him? I don't know if it's the software or pleo? I will try dinomite in Bruno tonight to see if anything comes up but I don't really know how to use it...

Whoops, my old addled brain and lack of brain chemcials showing, I aplogize, Bruno is the Pleo of course and Bouns you are the lovely young lady. I knew that but too late at night I should slow down and not answer questions when I am overmedicated, too tired or as of this morning no coffee in my system yet, so I will be back after the coffee connects the proper wires in my brain. I often call my cats by the wrong name even though I am looking right at them and know who they are.

        What is bad is when you are talking to your daughter or son, and calling them their siblings name...now that is embarrasing, but I think they thought of it as a "way to get out of trouble" if I was looking at them but addressing the other, than surely they were not the one being grounded or no television till all homework done, etc!   I have allways been a little brain fogged, and I think the older I get the more it is showing, so I do apologize . See you after my coffee pot is empty and my second one is brewing. ( Sorry Bonus,,,,I did not mean to call you by Bruno's name....that would be saying "you did not work anymore! " Please forgive me.                       Old "RWM" and the Pleo Clan of the REdwoods

Something's trying to happen... Have you tried putting him in a safe place and leaving him on for half an hour or so?

[bonus41]

I've been busy for awhile and haven't been able to post, it's still a no go for this guy. Is there anything else i can try for him?

[InmemoryofRomeo]

It sounds to me as though he's not getting enough juice to power on, something along the lines of a loose wire perhaps.

[bonus41]

looks like i won't be able to get this guy going i don't think i would feel comfortable in opening him, i had nightmares with opening up my Aibo...
