Operation, Tamagotchi!

The story of what happened when I decided to un-debug my tamagotchi.

I've had my first Tamagotchi, Blue Camo v3, for 2 years now. It's un usable, I debugged it when I first got it, and something went wrong. It turned it into ALWAYS being in hyperspeed?! After replying to a topic here on TT, I got inspired to un-debug my Tamagotchi. I've heard it is rare for this to even work, which made me even more excited to do it. I opened the silly thing up, erased the two year old pencil marks, and shoved the battery in. Fixed.

But I still had time to spare, it's a Wednesday night, and I have nothing to do. Lets open it ALL THE WAY up. I decided.

So I un screwed the circuit board, whee, the screen, I've seen tutorials on how to change the screen, so I try it. After closing the whole thing back up, I am surprised to see my fool proof plan has gone wrong, half of the pixels on the screen are missing! (Sadly, I did not get any pictures of this ): ) I find this funny, so I open it back up, again.

So I open it back up(After struggling to open the circuit board, and realizing I forgot to un screw it.) , to the screen. My luck, the WHOLE screen FALLS OUT. Pretty funny, actually. I fix everything, after the whole ordeal, everything just falls apart, xD. After using my mad scientist mind, I figure how to put everything back together, and shut it.

It worked, the long since gone tamagotchi WORKS.

The screen, everything!

Broken Screen.

Shell and back of circuit board (Other side of DEBUG side.)

Screws and Stuffs.

Has any one else had some crazy mishap's with operating on Tama? Do tell!

I had one Tamagotchi whose sound kept blipping on and off, even when I had turned the sound off!

It would make really weak beeping noises randomly, even in the middle of the night. Twas weird.

Well I opened it up and there was a MASSIVE piece of dust lying on the sound sensor thing. Shows what I know, buying Tamagotchis from eBay...

I think it had burned the sound sensor out as it had gone all black!

I removed it, very very gently used the dog blow-dryer to clean it and put it back together. It now works, but no sound.

However I'm a firm believer in loving a disabled Tam just as much; same as people, it just might need a little extra help.

It's a V2, Union Jack colors, an oldie called Ryoma, currently 48 years old. He always seems to be grinning.

Quite fitting really that the old man is deaf!

Awwwh, That's cute.

Reminds me of what I did yesterday.

I took apart my other v3...

And I messed with it.

and the two wires connecting the circuit board to the sound sensor snapped.

But I <3 the thing, it's amazing. I'm going to get batteries one day, and raise it to be 99. xD -fail-

To bad I'm already raising 6... xD

.... Wow

If my Tamagotchi kept falling apart and stuff I'd be like panicking and screaming "Ahh! I broke it!"

XD

Love the pictures >xD

Come to think of it, I've never really had any "Tama mishaps".

Once, my friend gave me a blue ocean waves v3 and it works, but the screen was cracked, so I wanted to see if I could take it out and fix it. I got out the proper sized screwdrivers and started to take it apart. I couldn't get past the circuit board though, because one of the 4 screws was stripped! So much for fixing the screen

I wouldn't do that though... I always break things, that's why.

I don't mess around with the interior of any of my Tamas; and i have an engineering degree!!! I like 'em just the way they are. I only open them up to change the batteries.
