He did make a little sound, but it kind of cut off pretty fast when I turned him on. Yes, that's the one I used. And yes, he was also running 2.0.

When I tried a skit, the batman one actually. I heard some music starting and then it cut off and he froze. This time he didn't restart. Hmm, a loose wire? Doesn't sound too good. But you might be right.

Now he wont start at all! It's really weird :/

Oh dear! I don't know what else you could try. Kat or IMR or Crewella might have some suggestions. Just by chance, do you have another Ugobe battery to test and if so, does the pleo continue to do the same thing?

No, I only got that one egg cube battery

But the battery should be fine, cause I sent it back to RedwoodsMama and she tested it on her Pleo's and it worked perfectely fine.

Lilo had a problem like this once, I was at wits end. See threads here: http://bobthepleo.com/forums/index.php?topic=284.msg3754#msg3754 and here: http://bobthepleo.com/forums/index.php?topic=349.msg5005#msg5005

I tried the PoP one, but he didn't do anything with that one either, sigh.

Try a different sd card if you can, and try popping it in and out a few times. Lilo also has trouble reading cards from time to time but popping it in and out a few times usually works.

Are you able to do a USB update?

Icewolf · « **Reply #32 on:** May 06, 2014, 07:25:35 AM »

I only got this one card, unfortunately. But I do still got the usb-cable from when I first got my classic pleo!

Try that if you can, if you have windows 7 you need to run the drivers and updater in compatibility mode for xp. Do this by right clicking on file and choosing compatibility.

Icewolf · « **Reply #34 on:** May 07, 2014, 04:27:03 AM »

Okay, I'll try that! Where do I get the files? It seems that the OS's on this site is SD-card only or can they be used with the cable as well?

Crewella · « **Reply #35 on:** May 07, 2014, 05:46:57 AM »

I thought we used to have the files for USB - I'll ask.

Icewolf · « **Reply #36 on:** May 07, 2014, 06:51:39 AM »

Thanks Crewella!

Hi, Icewolf! The USB update files are in the downloads section. I just looked. The first one that you see is for a Mac computer. I think the one for Windows should be below it. If you've already found this then just ignore me. Good luck!

Crewella · « **Reply #38 on:** May 07, 2014, 11:43:38 AM »

Indeed they are - it's a sub-category under Classic Pleo OS Versions, in the white box atthe top. Took me a while to find it too!

Icewolf · « **Reply #39 on:** May 07, 2014, 12:34:25 PM »

Ohhh! I feel so dumb now, haha

Thanks!

Crewella · « **Reply #40 on:** May 07, 2014, 12:46:33 PM »

Well, I couldn't find it either at first .... if you are, we both are!

Icewolf · « **Reply #41 on:** May 11, 2014, 10:59:43 AM »

So I downloaded the USB update and made it xp compatible but I still can't get things to work. I got 64x Windows 7 and it tells me that it needs 32x and it would be a major hassle to change my computer into 32x.

Is there any way to get the installation file for a 64x computer?

Icewolf · « **Reply #42 on:** May 11, 2014, 11:08:13 AM »

He seems to be totally bricked...

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #43 on:** May 11, 2014, 04:40:59 PM »

Can you access someone else's computer that isn't 64 bit?

Icewolf · « **Reply #44 on:** May 11, 2014, 05:37:28 PM »

Nope, both mine and my boyfriends computers are 64x.

Icewolf · « **Reply #45 on:** May 12, 2014, 09:13:13 AM »

I was wondering... My SD-card is 4 GB. And I know that you shouldn't use an SD-card bigger than 2 GB. But could it be the reason everything just stopped working?

kat · « **Reply #46 on:** May 12, 2014, 05:08:18 PM »

It would be worth you getting a smaller SD card and trying again with that. Pleos are old technology and SD cards were not very large when they were originally created so a pleos system is not built to cope with reading from a large SD card. 2 gig is the most they seem to be able to handle but if you can get a smaller one then that is better. None of the updates or skits for pleo are very large so you don't have to worry about them not fitting on the card.

Icewolf · « **Reply #47 on:** May 13, 2014, 09:01:37 AM »

Hmm, well. SD-cards are pretty expensive here in Sweden and I've been looking into many stores and no one seems to have a 2 GB! Only 4 GB and bigger...

Crewella · « **Reply #48 on:** May 13, 2014, 09:19:19 AM »

Do you have access to eBay? I usually get mine there.

Did you ever solve this problem?
