We also had a problem with Furby not moving. Many people rush to immediately change the motor without checking the original one. Before replacing the motor with a new one, you should remove the original one and, without disconnecting it from the Furby, check it by turning on the batteries. The motor will spin and if you hold it a little with your fingers, the motor should not stop spinning when power is applied when you no longer hold it. If, under a light load, the motor stopped turning when power was applied and then it was helped with your fingers, then such a motor definitely needs to be changed. In most cases, the Furby stops moving if it is not allowed to move or is dropped and then the mechanism jams, and most people blame the motor. You can also check the motor from a laboratory power supply by applying 6 volts. FurbyBoom has problems with the mechanism - this is a typical and common malfunction. It happens that the ears jam or the drive gear under the motor moves off the axis - in this case, it is enough to simply remove the original motor and correct the drive gear (near the wheel with holes) or the wheel itself. Then put the original motor in place, assemble the Furby completely and check it. Furby should then work normally with the original motor. I fixed two of my Furbys without replacing the motor. If Ferby does not sound, then the speaker must be replaced without checking - this is also a frequent breakdown.
@@FurbyLab definitely this! We checked this Furby before the video and the motor needed replacing which is why we did it but troubleshooting is important beforehand
Very nice! Didn’t realize you can use those motors lol. My friend Sterling and I recently made a tutorial of cleaning the tilt sensor on booms so they don’t think they’re being shaken all the time that’ll hopefully be uploaded soon
That’s right! Furby Booms tend to always have tilt sensor problems more often than 2012s where they’re being shaken so much, and it was so fun learning how to access the tilt sensor and how to clean it so they wouldn’t think they’re being shaken much anymore which was well-needed big time
That video cant come soon enough my furby boom has recently been doing this and its driving me crazy. Hopefully it isnt to complex so that I can clean it out myself.
This is actually so cool and also my first time seeing you make a Furby restoration video! Never even knew you can use motors from CD/DVD players to replace dead motors in the Furbies as I never thought of that, excellent job!
@@Silvolf That’s wonderful that your friend Kel actually helped you out on how to use a motor from a CD/DVD player (which is the same size) to replace dead motors on Furbies. I know your Furbacca has motor problems as well so you could also try to fix him if you wanted now that you fixed this one of yours
Silvolf, If you didn't know, the tiny board on the motors is the one that stops the motor from moving after some time, if you even look at the board you can see a pause/play button thingy and that is a timer on the motor, and when that timer ends it kills the motor, also that furbys like that can work without that bottom board from the motor and only the one that detects the movement
Heres a fun fact about furby booms if you're fixing it and managed to break the wire for the touch sensor the Furby Boom can still work without it that's what I have realised with my Furby Boom that got fixed with a motor recently BUT you have to touch exactly know where the wire is hopefully you remember where it is but yeah I still don't know how it works without the wire the wire must still give some signal to the Furby Boom but yeah if you break your Furby Booms touch sensor don't worry about re soldering it just touch the wire and it will work just always remember this also just a quick tip when replacing the motor in the Furby after you have replaced the motor be shortest screw it up first before testing it I forgot to screw mine fully in and I heard the worst ticking noises anyways that is my comment goodbye 👋 😀
Thank you so much. I have a crystal Furby that’s facing this issue and it’s my favorite Furby so I got to get that working. Can that work with 2012 models as well? Because I have a few of those that are dealing with that issue
It's been years since My furby Boom motor stopped working and I'm still hoping to find someone that can replace rhe motor... To get my Dah-Kah back to life...
Hey silvolf I just wanted to ask whether a furby boom is worth it? Its because i cant have pets in my condo and should a furby boom be a good replacement? (I love your videos you deserve more views)
@@Silvolf also this is the ferst time I saw a successful repair attempt for this issue there was some attempts to fix it on TH-cam but none were sucsessful
Please.. Silvolf. I know you're adapted with furbys. We have spoken one again.. I have a crystal edition green blue furby a polka dot and a blue waves... And they all have motor failure but the crystal has both speaker and motor.. Tell me please.. Which kind of motor they need.. And which speaker does the crystal needs.. Thanks
@@Furby-d3b they need a 6 volt motor from a DVD player or you could probably buy the relevant motor online to fix them. As for the speaker, I don't know. This was my first try at fixing a Furby. I know pretty much nothing about fixing electronics.

Yeah, this is really gonna help now because the fur Baka just went out
Gives a way to use the furby without motor?
Complete without movement?

Will a 5v motor work on a furby boom?

Hey Silvolf, I've got a question, so at 7:58 what is that tool that removes the gear?
@@Crystal78839 a small screwdriver
Does it work with any phobia, like the 1998 one?
@@sawyerborn8152 not sure if it works with a 90s one but definitely the Booms/Crystals
no, '98 furbies have different motors than furby booms
