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

Spinning The Motor And Gear

Remove the fur and shell from Furby. You should be able to see the wiring.

Find the motor. To the right of Furby's beak, you will see a silver and red, cylinder shaped mechanism. That's it.

Get something small, like a small screwdriver or pen cap.

Spin the motor to the right a good couple dozen times.

Find the gear. It's small and gray, and located to the left side of Furby's beak.

Using your small object, spin this gear to the right for about 10 minutes.

Once you've spun it enough, put batteries in Furby. He should start right up and be ready to play!

Going Above The Beak

Push down the beak. You should be able to see inside.

Get a small flathead screwdriver. A phillips head works fine as well, but a flathead is easier to use.

Insert the screwdriver to the left of the beak and push it down as far as it can go.

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.

Once you feel that you have spun it enough, put batteries into Furby. Most likely he will start right up!
