It won't unpause!

I decided to pause and take a break from my tamagotchi. And I'm trying to unpause it but no mater what I try it won't unpause. I can't even try to turn the sound on! Plz help, I looked on google and everything.

Can you tell us which version you are using?

You can just press the restart button and download it if you're having that much trouble.

Again, it depends on what version you're playing with.

Possibly either the A or the B button might be damaged (since you need to press down both A and B to pause/unpause).

If you can't pause or turn the sound on or off, something is wrong with your A button. Try to take the tamagotchi apart and make sure the button is really tight inside of the little button slot and that it's not loose.

I don't think it's usually possible to reach the spund panel from the pause mode, but can you reach the clock screen?

If you can, it's probably the A button, but if you can't, it might be a screen freeze, or the B button, or a combination of A and B buttons.

My tip is, unscrew all the nine screws carefully, and take out the buttons to rub the underlaying parts with a little bit of alcohol cleaning. It happens sometimes with tamagotchis, when they are exposed to heat (eg. on a sunny day) that the underside of the buttons melt a tiny tiny bit when pressed down on the circuit board. This usually doesn't brake the buttons themselves, but creates a black, sticky substance on the area where the buttons are pressed down, which will dry and then cause the buttons to malfunction. This was the case with two keitai tamas I bought recently; they were sold as broken, but this was their only fault, which was easily solved by a little bit of alcohol cleaning.

Otherwise, it might just be some regular dirt under the buttons, or in case it's just a frozen screen you should try resetting and downloading first.

Try resetting it.
