How to Quick Start a 1998 Furby That Won't Start Up

Method 1 Method 1 of 2: Spinning The Motor And Gear
  1. 1 Remove the fur and shell from Furby. You should be able to see the wiring.
  2. 2 Find the motor. To the right of Furby's beak, you will see a silver and red, cylinder shaped mechanism. That's it.
  3. 3 Get something small, like a small screwdriver or pen cap.
  4. 4 Spin the motor to the right a good couple dozen times.
  5. 5 Find the gear. It's small and gray, and located to the left side of Furby's beak.
  6. 6 Using your small object, spin this gear to the right for about 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Once you've spun it enough, put batteries in Furby. He should start right up and be ready to play!
Method 2 Method 2 of 2: Going Above The Beak
  1. 1 Push down the beak. You should be able to see inside.
  2. 2 Get a small flathead screwdriver. A phillips head works fine as well, but a flathead is easier to use.
  3. 3 Insert the screwdriver to the left of the beak and push it down as far as it can go.
  4. 4 Spin your screwdriver to the left. If you are in the right spot, then you should be at the gear mentioned in the previous method.
    • To know if you are in the right spot, look at Furby's ears and eyelids. They should move slightly every time you spin the screwdriver.
  5. 5 Once you feel that you have spun it enough, put batteries into Furby. Most likely he will start right up!
