Christmas tree: Pre lit Tree won’t light

Fri, 08 Apr 2022 20:14:02 -0700

I bought a prestrung Tree several years ago. After the second year most of it won’t light. It will light in very small sections. I’ve tried replacing fuses in plugs which didn’t work. The company never answers their phone. I’ve pretty much had it. We store the tree in a Tree bag in our outdoor storage closet. Any help will be appreciated.

Casper Glow Light: Anyone know how I might replace the battery in a Casper Glow Light?

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 11:42:02 -0700

I’ve had this Casper Glow Light for a couple years. Now the battery doesn’t last very long and I have to keep it on the dock. Occasionally, it’s not in the dock quite right and by morning time when the light is supposed to wake me up, it doesn’t turn on.

There’s only two buttons on the thing on either end and those are the only two possible access points. I’ve wondered if I could somehow get to the battery through here, with no luck so far.

Am I just SOL?

Furby: 1998 furby doesn’t know it’s being pet

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 09:41:29 -0700

I just got a my first 1998 furby in the mail. I put batteries and it took a few minutes before she turned on. I noticed that she doesn’t recognize that I’m petting/tickling her. She knows when i press her tongue and move her around, but not when I pet her. Is there any way to fix this, preferably without taking her apart, or will she just be like this forever?

Furby: Can someone fix my sisters furby?

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 10:13:46 -0700

My sisters furby was bought two years ago and we found it a day ago but unfortunately it’s beak and eyelids don’t move and the eyes keep going on and off. My other furby works fine though and has new battery’s just like the one that doesn’t work. Do you think it’s dead forever or does someone know if they can fix it? Please answer as soon as possible.

Toy: Electronic toy cuts out after a few seconds

Wed, 09 Feb 2022 10:20:05 -0700

The toy in question is a Bright Starts Having A Ball Spin and Giggle Puppy. This toy has a spinning dish and plays a song as it goes. The purple component is the motor that powers the dish.

This toy cuts out every time after 2-3 seconds of being on. It plays the same introductory bit of its song, spins for 2 seconds then cuts out.

Is there anything I can tweak to make it work?

Electrical USA: Double wall switch miswired?

Sat, 18 Mar 2023 01:47:31 -0700

I have a double wall switch for my front exterior light and interior front hall light. I do not know if it is two separate one way switches or an actual double switch. However, my interior hall light must be on in order for my porch light to work. No inside light = no outside light. The inside light, obviously, works without the outside light being on.

Is this a miswired switch problem or a bad switch?

Photos:

Bare switches

Red wire tracks behind other switch…

…and is wrapped here with purple wire.

Generally in my house I've noticed through other fixture updates that the purple is my hot wire. I don't understand why the red would be wrapped with the purple if it's already got a purple on it.

Electrical USA: Why is my double switch in bathroom not working properly?

Sat, 18 Mar 2023 01:44:31 -0700

I have a double switch in my bathroom which controls the vanity lights over the mirror and the ceiling light/fan in the room. Whether the top switch is in the closed or open setting the vanity light remains on but if it is closed the ceiling light is out along with most of the power in my basement. There must be a bypass issue somewhere or my wiring is incorrect. I’ve attempted replacing the switch several times but nothing seems to fix the issue. What should I do?

This is all I have to work with in terms of wiring. The only thing I can think of is that the game wiring is screwed up elsewhere in the house. I had a guy attempt to place a ceiling fan in our bedroom but he ended up not getting it to work. This was years ago and we’ve been dealing with the problems ever since.
