Good Replacment for Sound Wires?

[tamaninjacat]

I have a couple of old tamas that lost their sound a few years ago and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for replacing the sound wires? I have the original ones, but I think it would be easier to repair them with an alternative wire. What type of wire will work best?

I am pretty sure just any kind of small copper wire should work. I don't imagine too much current goes through those wires. For the best connection you will need a soldering iron and some solder to connect it to the unit. Tape would work in most cases but may not hold very well and become disconnected.

Looking at videos of people repairing gameboy speakers could help, since the speaker tamagotchi uses is pretty similar to that of a gameboy.

Thank you! I think I have some copper wire lying around somewhere and I can borrow my dad's soldering iron, so this should be a quick fix. ^_^

Thanks for the advice! I was looking into Tamagotchi speaker repair videos and wasn't finding much, so I'll definitely look at some Gameboy speaker repair videos.

If you do read this, there is a good video on Digimon speakers. Smouldering iron, wire, I suggest watching it. I am going to try. It with my Angelgotchi, the sound on that is pretty rough.

I'll look into this as well! I haven't gotten around to fixing the wires yet partly because of school and partly because I'm just too nervous to.  I plan on soldering wires to the circuit board of a broken V1 for practice before I try it on my other tamas. Hopefully I'll feel more confident about the whole thing after that.

Oh Yay! I have to say, My grandad opened my Pixel Chix Up with a screwdriver (Meanwhile, I was on the sofa as a nervous wreck, it was hell) and it came apart, BUT the whole thing was held on from the roof. I would only recommend using this on Bandai Vpets, but if you find how to on another type, go ahead!
