- This procedure may work on 2012 Furbys and Furby Connects, though the latter might have a different process. WARNING: Performing the test mode may factory reset and/or damage your Furby unless you know what you’re doing. Attempt this at your own risk.
I think the same metal circle is in the Furby Party Rockers... I don't have the equipment to try it though.
COOLEST SHIT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome discovery! I thought I'd already done all the tinkering with booms in particular!
You are awesome!! I’ve been looking for this for years. I guess you have to have vision to find it. I was trying different combinations and sequences of sensors, but it didn’t work. Do you know if it works for the 2012s?
Yeah. I first discovered it while I was taking apart a broken boom. I noticed that there was a wire that went from the tail sensor plug to a random spot in the battery compartment. I wondered why there was this random wire that seemingly went nowhere, and then I looked on the board and saw "Test". As soon as I saw that, I just had to experiment, and since it was on a non-working Boom that was for parts, I had nothing to lose if it ever went wrong. And that's what led me here. Also, I'm pretty sure the 2012's have the same test contact since they are mostly identical to a Boom. I even found the same contact on a Connect and discovered a test mode there! I thought that, considering you can access the debugging stats using it, the test mode would be accessed via Bluetooth, but nope. I don't know for sure if it's the same with Furbaccas, but I think it's highly likely that they have the contact too.
Yeah. I got it to work on my 2012. It has a broken speaker, so I couldn’t hear the sounds too well. But I figured out what some of the modes do. I would like to do a video on it, but the speaker completely died today.
@@RobotMopper Oof... That sucks. I know it's possible to replace the speaker (heck, the Boom shown in this video used to be mute and had a weak motor, but I managed to replace those parts with the scrapped Boom's and got it to work. Unfortunately, the tilt sensor is messed up as it always thinks it's being shaken from time to time, but I'm not really willing to replace that yet), but I can understand if you're not able to fix it. It's pretty tricky getting these apart to fix without accidentally ruining a tab or two and would require a good amount of experience and patience. Plus, you would need to have parts on hand, which means buying some online or scrapping something else that uses similar parts. Yeah, it's not really a task that everyone can do, so I can fully understand if you aren't willing or are unable to repair it.
@@RobotMopper Can you Tell me more about the other things you can do with the factory Test Mode? For example how to accses them and what they do. Im Putting my Furby in factory Test Mode too and i wanna know more modes to use :)
@@ChallTMN Just to let you know, there is a section of the test mode that will factory reset the Furby’s memory, that being the MCU/ROM version screen. That means that the Furby’s personality will be set to the default one and any learned names will be lost. So, uh… If you want to figure out how to use the test mode by yourself, please do it on a Furby you don’t mind starting fresh on in case the memory wipe ever happens.
I got it on the 2012. I’m trying to figure more of it out.
You know what I’m doing with my sisters furby tommorow Lol
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor sister, if she loved that furby then she will probably cry, when you do this in some part it will reset it trom when it was in factory
I was joking
@@YourAppleSalesman good, i had a furby and i would die if it lost all of its memory
This is really interesting it took awhile for me to do it but i finaly got it
Hey I heard that furby boom' and 2012's are programmed to stop moving after a short time so they will sell more and people will buy new one's and I think it's TRUE because it had a lot of used furby's and they where not moving so I took them apart and tested there moters and the moters worked but wen I put them back in my furby they stop working and it's not the gears or anything so kinda sus but it can also just be that overtime the moters get too weak to move a furby because a lot of my furby's had this
Its motor failure
@@dominicdorton1146 there’s apparently cheep motors in them my 2012 is a little crenky but it still works
THAT IS SO COOL.
Where can i buy them? I cqnt find them anywhere
Any place that sells items second hand, like eBay, Shopgoodwill, etc. You might also have a chance at finding them at thrift stores or flea markets as well.
@@The_One_Time okay thank you
Amazon
I tried it with hot glue. It did not work.
Please tell me another way
My mom, soldering gun it’s in storage
I can’t get it in
Does this work on the 2012 furby?
What about furby connect
ua-cam.com/video/Rn-OyjddRyI/v-deo.html
Pls make it with Furby connect
What do you do this for? I kinda see some coments but i wana see more if you do this is will repair your speakear or what?
If the name “factory *test* mode” doesn’t ring a bell, it’s essentially a mode that allows workers at a factory to quickly and fairly easily test all the functions of a toy before being sent to stores. The test mode in 2012s/Booms, for instance, helps check the functionality of the motor, position sensors, tilt sensor, capacitive touch sensors, LCD, mouth & tail sensors, speaker, and piezo speaker (the ones that produces the high frequency sounds used for communication with other Furbys).
Test modes are usually kept fairly hidden within most toys, and are not intended to be accessible to regular consumers. It’s usually because some test modes can reset a toy’s memory back to factory defaults, companies not expecting the consumer to repair the toy themselves, or worst case scenario, the test mode can potentially damage a toy further (looking at you, Mr. Robot). And since there are usually no official guides to test modes publicly available, you’ll have to trial and error your way through to figure out how it all works when discovering for the first time. But as long as you know exactly what you’re doing, you should pretty much be a-ok!
Test modes are helpful for pinpointing the exact causes of certain problems, but it usually cannot directly repair it. It can only help you guide to what’s wrong. For example, if one of the capacitive touch sensors isn’t working, then the test mode will not indicate that touch sensor is sensing anything when it’s supposed to. That can help you with finding what’s wrong, such as the sensor’s wires being pulled or nearby battery wires causing interference, but the test mode won’t fix it directly. You have to open it up to fix it yourself. Then once you’re done, you can pull up the test mode again to see if the sensor is working again. If it is, you’re all set! But if it isn’t, then you’ll have to try again.
Since the test mode for Furby Booms heavily relies on sound, there isn’t a need to actually use it to test the speaker if it has failed, you’ll know simply just from normal play. You’ll have to replace the speaker (or try that one risky method where you poke something inside the speaker) when it fails in order for the toy to produce sound again.
By the way, this video is meant to be more of a guide to show you how to access it, not for showing how to use it, as there’s way more in the test mode than what’s shown here. I’m pretty sure there are plenty of videos out there that show the test mode in further detail.
@@The_One_Time hey thnak you so much for your time and I search but I dinit find some vids only yours I wanted to fix the speakear but I dont wana ruin my furby or him begin skined anyways thx so if I do this factory reset is goona make The sounds even if my furby is muted? My furby was în sun a LOT lol and ye this is prob why is muted idk but kinda sad cant have The app anymore I tried with happymod it worked but I kinda dont want virus so I deleted anyways this means alot to me ty rly helped! And is goona say all The sounds or? Im not english and somtimes I dont rly understand with voice în a vid but thxx I apreciate it! Hope The app eill be agsin on app store is goona have a lot if instals lol alot misses The game :> byee have a good day/nightoh and when you do this you are goona be able to puse it /stop it
And what is the thing you put to The batery and the mini circle is a wire? Im not eng and ye
That’s just wire. lol.
Ye lol
No more uploads?
Furby boom: BOOP
You should try it on the 2005 furbys
I don’t have a 2005…yet.
@@The_One_Timeok..... I have an idea! In the Video i saw a Motherboard of furby in the Background mabye you can give it a close Look and you can mabye find Something like "Test 2, 3 or maybe even circuit bend it
@@ChallTMN From what I’ve seen, there is only one test contact on the Boom board. However (although this only applies to booms and not 2012s), they do have three pins sticking out of the side of their heads. I am guessing the pins are used to assign the color type of the Furby to the board since Furby Booms are supposed to know what color they are. Of course, I haven’t messed with the pins (and probably won’t), but that’s what I’m guessing. After all, there is a section of the test mode showing the Furby’s color in numerical form. Maybe that’s where those pins come into play.
@@ChallTMN Also, no. I am not circuit bending that board. Even though that Furby was scrapped for parts, I don’t want to end up frying it. Circuit bending isn’t really my thing, btw.
@@The_One_Time ok :)
Glitch.
