Earth. I think.
In the "What happened to my Tama" forum, lots of people were asking what to do about broken buttons. It's fairly easy to fix, actually:

Great narration, Dr. Pikachi. :) If/when my Tamas buttons break, I'll definately use this.

 
Wonderful job!

I think this will be very helpful to users who need a very detailed explanation of how to do this :)

Thank you for taking the time to make this n_n

 
Aw, thanks everybody! It really wasn't that hard to do. I like playing around in Photoshop :)

 
Excellent tutorial. One thing I'd like to add though, always double-check that you're putting the inner/outer screws in the right holes. I've attempted a repair like this on an Ancestor Tama and I cracked the screen by putting one of the screws in the wrong hole.

Also, if you have bad fakies, or irreparably broken tamas, it's a good idea to gut them for parts like screws and buttons. You never know when you might need them.

Good point!

The screws that go in the circuit board are shorter than the ones that hold the shell together.

 
I can see just one mistake, you put the wrong battery name, it is a CR2032 to let you know and not a button cell (LR44)

Very good guide though so well done :p

 
Nice guide :)

This is a slightly random question, but one I've always wondered: Is the Tamagotchi screen actually made of glass, or is it just hard plastic?

 
This really helps! My first ever Tamagotchi (v2) has one broken button and now it won't bug me anymore. :)

 
Oh my gosh I had a 4 year old V4 which had a button which had fallen out and I never thought I would use it again. But I just got my little bro's old broken Tama and did a bit of surgery and it was as good as new! In fact that V4 is in my pocket right now. He says thanks for helping Peanut05 (Moi) fix his house. :)

 
Great how-to article. I loved it ^-^ seems like a reliable source, so I'll use it if I ever have to! Also~ does your camera have a macro setting? :D

 
@CherubHorse: Ugh, my stupid camera... The only camera I have is my phone, and it's junk. Once I get a better camera, I am going to remake this without all the fuzzy pics, trust me.
