WowWee MiPosaur Broken On/Off Switch Fix

Giriş

(I am not able to give pictures so please add some in if you do this.)

The WowWee MiPosaur is a dinosaur version of MiP, and is an interactive toy costing about $100. It comes with a Trackball, which has six different modes for MiPosaur. (A CHiP Smartball can confuse MiPosaur.) You turn a dial to change the mode.

This guide will show you how to fix a problem where the on/off switch is broken.

To reassemble your device, do the following:

Set down the motherboard and secure it with the four screws.

Secure the on/off board with the two screws.

Press together the two halves of MiPosaur, and secure the halves with the remaining screws. Place the blue tabs back on the MiPosaur.

If the MiPosaur does not close, remove the two screws securing the jaw mechanism, and flip the MiPosaur over. The mechanism will slide out. Note that a magnet is attached to the jaw mechanism.
