DIY interactive toy repair

In detail: do-it-yourself repair of an interactive toy from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Electronic educational toys for babies - what they just don't have to go through during their service life! And sometimes the operating time of such a toy can be increased by doing a very simple DIY repair.

A very common nuisance associated with the periodic use of electronic toys is the leakage of electrolyte from batteries. In this case, the contacts rust, sometimes even completely disintegrate.

We remove the faulty segments, and thoroughly wash off the dirt and traces of rust with alcohol, cleaning out the unyielding places with a sharp knife.

There are also other breakdowns - our restless children knock with these toys on everything that is nearby or runs by (someone who, and even cats know this well).

As a result, inside from vibration, for example, the speaker can easily come off and crumble - that which is exactly what is shown in the photo.

Any unnecessary and hopelessly out of order toy is suitable as a "donor" - the main thing is that it works on batteries of the same type as the one being repaired, and that the contacts of the battery compartment are in good condition.

We open the case and find the speaker - just what we need.

Now we take out the contact pads we need from the donor device.

... and install them in their places in the battery compartment of the repaired talking toy.

We change the speaker, while not forgetting to securely fix it with some kind of glue - so that it does not come off any more.

A properly repaired and self-assembled talking toy, when the power is connected, starts working without any complaints. As it should be, the butterfly, when pressing buttons and switching modes, pronounces the letters of the alphabet or names words starting with a certain letter.

The repair of the toy is completed, and the child received not only an interesting, but also a useful educational toy.

We are opening a new direction - the repair of electronic toys for children and adults. We are good at repairing laptops. Over the years of working with serious technology, we have come up with several copyright repair technologies, which are our know-how, and which we are now ready to apply for the repair of radio-controlled, interactive, musical and other electronic toys.

What toys do we repair:

- radio-controlled helicopters and airplanes

- cars, tanks, tractors and other radio-controlled equipment

- interactive dolls, pets, dinosaurs, robots and other fabulous and not so creatures

- high-quality garlands (usually at retail they cost from 1000 rubles and more)

Why did we decide to open toy repair?

We have children and friends. Since the first ones got a taste of locomotives and radio-controlled cars, and the second ones - drones, helicopters and boats, we regularly "along" with laptops bring broken "family favorites" for repair.

We thought that since we can return at least a little joy to the lives of our children and friends, then why don't we offer to do it for all the other residents of our city

When can we help with the restoration of your favorite toy:

- in case of mechanical damage: the toy fell, sat on it, stepped on, hit something heavy

- toy equipment unexpectedly sank or liquid got into it

- the engine started to overheat

- cracks, chips and other damage to the case

Why would you choose us to repair a broken toy:

1. We employ professional technicians and engineers who have solved many complex technical problems over the years. Regularly under a microscope. Often - non-standard, but effective.If the toy can be repaired, we will fix it.

2. We are able to repair plastic cases without replacing parts that are often missing. Trained on laptop hinges and cases.

3. We treat our work honestly and never offer unnecessary or unnecessary additional services.

What toys does it make sense to repair:

As a general rule, the more expensive you bought a new toy, the more expedient it is to try to repair it before sending it to the trash heap. And it's not just about the cost of new costs.

Branded toys of well-known brands are most often made from sufficiently high-quality parts that need to be repaired. At the same time, their design features and the complexity of execution most often do not allow for repairs at home, so the toy will receive even greater damage. Therefore, in case of breakdown, it is better to carry expensive toys to the master immediately, without conducting experiments on them, so as not to break.

You can try to repair cheap Chinese toys yourself. Most often, expensive repairs are still not advisable for them, since the repaired parts turn out to be stronger than those around them, and the neighboring ones begin to crumble. Alas, the Chinese mercilessly save on quality where they have the slightest chance to do it.

How to repair broken expensive toys:

Call us or write on whatsapp or messenger.

You can bring a "patient" to our office during working hours for free diagnostics and assessment of the prospects of repairs. We always carry out diagnostics free of charge, since we ourselves need it no less than you do.

After agreeing on the cost, we write out a receipt and take the broken toy for repair. Please do not lose this receipt - with it you will receive your toy back, healthy and ready to please you further!

Do-it-yourself repair of talking soft toys. Now you will not surprise anyone at all by the presence of a talking module in a soft toy. But in the process of games and over time, the batteries of the module are discharged and the talking toy becomes dumb. Sometimes everyone forgets about the presence of the module and the toy lives on without this option. But returning the voice and a second life to the soft toy is not difficult at all.

1. We carefully examine the seams of the soft toy. We need to find the outer seam. The seam is usually found on the back of the toy.

2. With our own hands Using a sharp object, we cut the seam threads and with our fingers in the padding polyester we find the box of the sound module and take it out.

DIY repair of toys for children

Absolutely all parents are faced with the fact that in the process of using toys, a child, in order to understand the world, can disassemble or completely break his favorite toy without the possibility of further exploitation. And not only knowledge - banal sloppiness!

In addition, the materials used even in expensive toys are very mediocre, which leads to a fairly rapid deterioration of key components and further inoperability of the toy.

The simplest option for the further life of toys is a trash heap and manufacturers here rejoice, because producing reliable toys, the profit from their production would be noticeably reduced!

If you adhere to this principle, then further material will not be interesting to you, since we will talk about the principles of repairing children's toys, obtained from our own experience.
If you want to try to fix the toy, then try to do it together with your child - it will be an exciting game for him and in the end you will spend more time spent!

So, you have a broken toy, and do not know if it is worth messing with it or is it really better to throw it away? Can you continue to use it as it is? Next, we will try to understand the reasons and feasibility of the repair.

Before repairing, it is worth deciding what type of damage led to the impossibility of using the toy in order to properly eliminate the malfunction. Perhaps, the batteries popped out inside during the fall?

External damage (body) - those that are visible visually, and are mainly caused by a fall, a blow, during which something cracked or broke off. These also include those that arise in the course of the game: something was torn off, something was covered with plasticine, bent, etc., production defects, natural wear and tear.

Usually, this type of repair is dispensed with by gluing the broken off part. If the broken-off part protrudes from the body of the toy (for example, a car mirror), then it is better not to glue it - it will most likely come off again. If the broken-off part has a fairly large area for gluing (part of the body) and no loads act on it, then it is enough to simply glue it, but in other cases (for example, a wheel) it is better to reinforce it with a screw / pin, or if it is a crack - with a piece of plastic, painting net and the like, that comes under the arm of a suitable size.

Internal damage (mechanism) - this is when outwardly there are no signs of damage. But the mechanism inside does not function. Such damage can also be the result of strong shocks, the ingress of liquid inside, natural wear and tear, the ingress of dirt and dust into the moving parts, the ingress of plasticine, production defects.
In the case of an exclusively mechanical toy, the definition of a malfunction does not cause problems, for example, in a wind-up or inertial machine, dirt is likely to get into the mechanism, some gear has moved away, or is simply rusted. Typically disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and reinstalled.

With toys on batteries the list of reasons is much larger and proportional to the functionality of the toy.
I'll try to make out the most common ones. In toys with motors, for example, in typewriters, gears are most often broken or worn out. Unlike inertial ones, only plastic ones are used, and in the event that the hum of the motor is heard, but the machine is still standing - most likely this is the case.
If you can barely drive or you can't hear the hum of the motor, then first check the batteries, and if they are new, then try to clean the moving parts from dust and hair.

For more details about the reasons and solutions, ask in the comments and follow the blog - I will periodically post master classes on toy repair.

Repair of complex and expensive toys.

If the toy is very expensive and rather difficult to repair, especially if it has internal damage, you should try to find either a workshop or a specialist on the Internet.

Toy care.

Timely care of the toy will undoubtedly prolong its life from normal wear and tear. The most demanding toys for care are batteries and toys with movable mechanisms. For example, cars, paraboots, moving dogs.

Electric toys for children often suffer from battery leakage (do not leave batteries in a toy for a long time!) And sticky liquids getting into buttons.
If your toy is with wheels, then dust and hair are always wound on the inside of the wheels, which over time leads to overheating of the engine or to a decrease in its movement speed or even to jam.
Also, in toys with motors, I recommend making a short pause after 15 minutes of continuous operation in order to avoid overheating of the engine or gears.
Store unused toys in a dry place at room temperature, keep them clean, and follow these simple guidelines.

Repair of toys for children under 3 years old.

Avoid repairing toys for children under 3 years old with external damage, because a broken toy will most likely not become stronger than before, and the glue used can be toxic, especially if the child takes the toy in his mouth.
A child may swallow or cut himself a repetitively broken part of a toy.

In the next part I will talk about the tools needed to repair toys. Stay tuned for new articles!

[QUOTE = Katerinko; 4031217] the easiest and most logical way to go to where you bought it,

bought in the children's world - in the forum, they contacted there, they can not say anything (they do not know). the warranty ended a year ago, now they don't care.

paws do not work (the dog lay down and cannot get up)

and barks, whine, wags,

now there are none, it cost 6.5 tr. I think it's a little expensive.

Did you install new batteries? Or maybe something happened to the sensors. There should be buttons, do they work?

If you live near Solnechny, you can bring it in, I'll take a look.

AEPerson - repair of household and digital appliances in Moscow, Zelenograd at the lowest prices

In a modern house, almost everything is tied to electronics - household appliances, office equipment, all kinds of sensors. it is not surprising that children's toys are stuffed with radioelements. We will talk about another such entertaining device, a talking cat, in today's review. interactive toy talking cat Tom - This is the latest model of talking toys. It looks simple, gray, but the appearance, as they say, is deceiving :))

Interactive toy talking cat Tom from the game Talking tom cat will be a wonderful gift for your children, especially for the holidays.

To turn it on, you need to move the power lever on the back of the cat. Do not forget to insert two normal quality AA batteries, the cheapest ones will run out in an hour. To install - find a small Phillips screwdriver.

The main feature of this device is that the cat repeats all spoken words, reacts to touch, reproduces sounds: slaps, meows, purrs, pats.

There is a recording microphone on the chest. Sensors located on the cheeks, tummy, neck, react to touch and reproduce sounds: purring, "oohing", claps, slaps.

The sensors are pieces of copper foil that react to the approach of a hand (you can not iron it, but give it a click - the result will be the same 🙂

Talking tom cat can record and play the spoken words on the built-in memory module. You just need to turn on the power button and press the desired button. He not only repeats, but slightly raises the frequency spectrum of the voice, making it cartoonish. This is very similar to the well-known hyped-up toy Hamster-repeat.

In addition, there are several buttons on the front, like a phone, and when you press each, a certain program is played with multi-colored flashing lights, voice phrases and musical fragments. 1. Supports up to 10 seconds recording
2. Has 3 points that respond to touch (cheeks, neck, head)
3. Powered by two AA batteries (not included)
4. Material: high quality plastic
5. Price 10-20 dollars (depends on the model) Like many low-end Chinese products, interactive cat Tom is prone to glitches (at least for a test sample from our tech lab). After a few minutes of work, he zaglyuchitsya and began to play one fragment indefinitely.The problem turned out to be not a sticky keyboard or a closed loop, but power supply drops at high volume.As you know, at the moment the speaker is working, the current consumption jumps to a very large value (0.5 A). This is because the thrifty Chinese do not bother to make the decoupling between the ULF transistor and the dynamic head. The problem was solved by introducing an RC circuit in series with the speaker - a 10 ohm resistor and a 47 uF capacitor.Every time after children's holidays, we have an influx of toys at home. New Years, birthdays, name days ... As a result, every year, and every month, there are more and more toys. Favorite and not so much, educational and creative, children's toys occupy more and more of our living space. I wonder if anyone has more space for them too? I’ve even got used to the fact that before the New Year holidays I make an inventory of toys, free up space for new tenants.In view of the prevalence of this "problem", I decided to analyze in detail how we can keep this dam of toys until we are covered with them headlong ...For a long time, all of our toys did not have any specific system, and almost all of them were kept freely available to children. All of them after some time began to cover the floor with an even layer. I am silent about the fact that educational toys, consisting of different parts (puzzles, constructors, any sets), gradually began to lose these very parts. A child wants to assemble a pyramid of 7 rings, but he has only 4 of them. Or half of the puzzles have disappeared into oblivion. This is how the development ...You can endlessly clean up toys. The process is surprisingly simple: the child is playing, you are cleaning. Alone or with him. Time after time a mess and bad mood builds up. I invite you to look at this issue from a completely new perspective. let's try once disassemble children's toys so that they practically do not have to be removed.Pay attention, now I'm not going to even approach the topic "how to teach a child to clean up toys after themselves" from afar. This is a completely different topic. Before explaining to the little man the rules of cleaning, we absolutely need to figure out where to put it all away and where to store it so that we don't have to wade through the room knee-deep in a constructor and cubes.

I offer you my system for using and storing toys, which allows you to get rid of their pile-up, not to lose anything, and generally breathe easily, knowing that you have everything under control, even children's toys.

Let's start by freeing up the outer space where the toys are stored. Since we usually do not have a long time for some business, I will describe the process in stages, so that each stage can be cleaned up in a 15 minute period of time, which, I think, is available to everyone! If you have a full hour at your disposal, just take a few steps at once.

Remove all toys from the shelves. Wipe down the shelves. It is enough to freely place a few of your favorite toys on them. Put everything else in large bags or boxes. A completely different view, right? Even breathing easier.

Life hack # 1. Prepare a large trash bag before starting. It will definitely come in handy today!

We sort the temporarily confiscated toys. A very important point! In one box we put those toys with which the child constantly plays, there is a steady interest in them. But they, as a rule, have already remained on the shelf. In the other, those that he uses from time to time. And thirdly, those at the expense of which you doubt whether they are needed at all: various little things, not by age, spoiled, etc.We do everything very quickly! Spread out into 3 boxes and that's it.

Now we disassemble the box with toys that the child plays from time to time. So what we see there:

First, most of them are better off playing with mom.

Second, they usually contain a lot of detail. Therefore, it is better to put them in separate boxes, containers or files and put them higher. At the same time, they should remain in sight of the child so that he can inform you of his desire to play. Played, removed. Now it will be easy for you to control the safety of these things, whether all the parts are in place after the game, or it is better to immediately look for the missing ones, until they are far away.

It's the same with them. Keep in sight, but higher. Older children, of course, already store their own things. For drawing papers, colored papers and coloring pages, they are most conveniently stored in vertical plastic trays. I have all the trays signed by topic: coloring, paper, cardboard. If you don't sign, you stick to the first one that comes across, everything mixes up very quickly and it becomes difficult to find what you need.

You will display them instead of those that are on the shelves now. Divide them into 2 or 3 parts (depending on their number), put them in different boxes and put them away. I change toys once a week so I don't get bored too much. A week passed, I took out another box, released it. I put the toys that I played with in it, I put those that were resting on the shelves.

The fewer toys are now on the shelf, the more likely the child will start playing with them, and not throwing them around.

First, I would like to mention children's crafts and drawings.

Naturally, we leave the most valuable and dear to our hearts drawings and put them in a daddy. We arrange crafts.

Life hack # 2. We photograph and throw away not the most valuable crafts and drawings! Believe me, over the years it will just be tons of children's creativity products, especially if you have more than one child. Moreover, children do most of it out of love for the process itself! So, while the child is not looking, quietly get rid of the excess.

Various small things, including kinders.

Usually wanders from one place to another, annoying everyone who steps on it. I suggest using all this as filling for sensory boxes and boxes. Take a container and put beans there, add 10-15 small toys and your sensory box is ready! And that's it! No small things under your feet! The sensory box, of course, belongs to the "developmental" section, so move it higher.

Toys from which the child "grew up".

Here you have several options: either you are planning more children or they already have, and then you leave the toys for them. Either children are no longer expected, then such toys should be disposed of: sold or given away. In general, in any case, they should not be here anymore!

If you did everything correctly, then only unusable toys that did not fall into any of the other categories should remain in front of you. It's very simple: throw them away! Do not hope that you will ever get your hands on them and you will fix them ... Do not waste your energy on them: throw it away and forget it!

Lifehack No. 3 A separate word about Stuffed Toys: it is better to leave only the very minimum. Put the rest in a big bag so as not to create problems for yourself. And there is more space and less dust. Also, change them from time to time.

By the way, to help you, I made a mind map for this article, where all the main points are very clearly reflected. If you want to use my system and make your life easier, just print the diagram (Download!) And check so you don't miss anything.

Well, everything is really simple! Repeat these 4 steps and you will never have problems with organization of children's toys... It's much easier to clean up where there is nothing superfluous, right? Now it will be much easier to teach the child to order. True, this is a completely different story ...

And further.If baby toys aren't the only area in your home that needs tidiness, be sure to download the PDF report, Order and Peace of Mind in 30 Minutes a Day. There I talk about the nuances that allow me to do interesting things without spending half my life on putting things in order. Incidentally, he does not suffer a bit.

Good luck in cleaning! I wish it to take up quite a bit of space in your life and always be a joy!

Radio-controlled toys, unlike models, are cars that are not expensive in the price range. (Usually up to 5 thousand rubles.)

Any radio-controlled toys also need maintenance, but unlike professional models, knowledge and training is not required. The main thing is: change the batteries in time and charge the battery according to the rules. Operate in a gentle mode, keep away from moisture, dirt and dust.

The lifespan of a radio-controlled toy depends on many factors, including the operation process, compliance with the manufacturer's requirements, and experience. At any time, the user may be faced with the fact that the toy stops responding to a signal from the control panel. There may be many reasons for this, and if the battery charge has not run out, then it should be carried for repair. Radio-controlled toys stop working when the battery simply becomes unusable, we simply replace it with a new one, thereby bringing it back to life.

Electronic problems also become one of the main reasons why the model may not respond to the remote control. The wire may burn out or fall off, in this case, the intervention of a specialist is the best solution to the problem.

If a malfunction occurs, you should pay attention to the control panel. Not only dead batteries can cause inoperability, but also engine failure, burnt out transistors. If possible, our specialists can repair the motor of the radio-controlled toy, but in some cases it needs to be completely replaced with a new one. The more serious the problem, the more expensive it is to repair RC toys, but in most cases user intervention will increase the cost.

Sometimes it is enough just to clean the contacts, eliminate the ingress of a foreign object or clean it of moisture, but inaccurate actions by the user lead to a violation of the integrity of other components of the structure.

Our service has all the necessary equipment for high-quality, professional diagnostics. All equipment is modern and allows you to quickly identify a malfunction that has a negative impact on the operation of the toy. Original spare parts from the manufacturer are used as the main components, which are characterized by:

Quality;
Reliability;
Durability;
Affordable cost.

We do not doubt for a high result, therefore, after the work done, we give an additional guarantee from our own service.

We help you to restore the performance of your radio-controlled toy for a long period of time. It is within our capabilities not only to improve its technical performance, but also its appearance by replacing the body or carrying out tuning.

Workshop "Electronic" performs repair of electronic toys.

Our craftsmen also often have to repair electronic toys. Our workshops carry out repair of electronic toys, very diverse (mainly for children) - radio-controlled cars, boats, children's electric vehicles, children's musical instruments. But, in principle, nothing prevents our craftsmen from repairing any other electronic toy. If the toy can be repaired, we will repair it!

To prevent the toy from breaking too often and too quickly, it is necessary to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the electronic toy, including age criteria. Before purchasing a toy for your child, make sure that the age limit of the toy matches the age of your toddler. Otherwise, there is every chance that the toy will be used far from the way its electronics and mechanical components are designed for. And improper operation can cause sudden breakdown, which in turn will require repair of the electronic toy.

Never charge conventional batteries! If your electronic toy is used intensively enough, it is better to buy rechargeable batteries for it together with a charger instead of ordinary batteries.
