Zombie Dinosaur
May. 4th, 2024 05:18 pm Today's car boot fair bargain was a Ugobe Pleo animatronic dinosaur - unfortunately in poor condition with a lot of damage to its skin that makes it look like a zombie. Also unfortunately no charger and i suspect the batteries are dead. I do have the instructions and the leaf the dinosaur tries to eat.
It looks like the cheap fix for the battery is to replace the battery pack with a holder for six NiMH AA batteries and wire it in, and charge them externally. I suspect that you can also replace the cells in the existing battery with AA NiHM batteries, but I would then be back to needing a charger.
I'll add photos later, laptop I'm using right now seems to have gone on strike so far as reading memory cards is concerned.
Anyone got any experience of repairing them? Or know a source for spares? Can't see any on ebay.
