I asked about glue because i was not sure if pleo could be glued with super glue. I was not sure because i worry super glue could make the skin worse.  Asked about the adapter and realized i asked before. I wanted anyone's idea of fitting the diaper on, if anyone has one. He looks like he could wear size 1, but would disposable block sensors? I finally decided to ask you folk here. I am sorry i keep posting in this thread.

Super glue should be fine to use on your pleo skin as long as it is ok to use on rubber.  Just make sure what ever brand you get says it can be used on rubber   As for the diaper, as no one has ever tried it I don't know if it would interfere with the sensors.  My feeling is that a disposable diaper would be too thick and the pleo would not be able to feel you touching his sensors through it.  I would be more inclined to make one out of a thin soft white cloth.  that way you could pre design it to have a built in hole for the tail.  You could use velcro tabs to do it up around the belly.

As nobody else has tried this, I would experiment with a few temporary options to see what works best first.

Update! Recharger and other battery arrived today. The battery came with a full charge, so i put it in my pleo, and he worked very well.

That's fantastic news   So happy that he works    now for the diaper

I have a problem. I have been using an ac adapter that has everything right except mA.  It has 600 instead of 800! So is my battery beyond repair? And does that present a problem with updating?

Is your Pleo running ok? If he is then its fine, if it isn't then do not even think about updating until the problem is sorted!

He functions great. The charger just flashes after charging for a while. No green light. I restored the battery i originally had until it flashed, not turning green.

A fully charged original green battery should give you about 1 hour play time.  If your not getting close to an hour play time then I wouldn't update using that battery.  It seems updating Ugobes is a sensitive thing and without a fully charged battery the process can go very wrong and put your pleo out of action.  not really sure why as the actual updating takes about 5mins but it is a well known pleo fact that updating without a fully charged battery leads to issues.  As for if you will have a problem with your battery / charger due to the cable not being quite right - I think as long as it is charging the battery then it should be ok.  It may mean it just takes a bit longer to fully charge.  Generally a flashing red light on the charger means that the battery is not seated correctly but mine sometimes do that too instead of turning green    I usually re seat them and let them charge a bit longer until I either get green or the flashing red again then just use them in my pleo.  Hope that helps you out

I'm a little rusty on the various rechargeable battery technologies so I checked on online time calculator:

(for the technically minded: http://convert-to.com/491/recharging-rechargeable-nimh-nicd-batteries.html)

It does seem that changing the milliamps of a charger from 800ish down to 600 still should work but will just take longer. Maybe another hour or so for a full charge.

My step dad said the battery won't ever fully charge if i don't give it the right ma in a cord. So that made me worry.

Adapters are quite cheap - personally I'd get the correct adapter, then at least you will be ruling out one possible problem.

If the charger is flashing then it indicates something is wrong. It's either not seated properly, its not contacting the terminals properly, its not charging properly and/or its overheating.

[Torterenek]

 I got an adapter with one amp. The people at radioshack said it is better to have more then less. Now it is charging correctly, and it flashes because it has more than 800 milliamps. It charges great.

I can not get past the beginning of installation at all for dinomite. I fixed the flashing on my charger. And which os is newer: 1.1, or 1.0.2?

[InmemoryofRomeo]

2.0 is the latest, 1.1 is better and newer than 1.0.2

[Torterenek]

I downloaded the 1.1 update labeled for windows and got mac os x instead. Or is the macosx folder supposed to be in it?

[Torterenek]

i will try to post pics of Teskus.
