There is a small Phillips head screw on one side of the handle. Unscrew that and your in business takes 3 AAA. Good luck

I haven't had to change mine yet. Had similar frustration with another remote and took it to Batteries Plus franchise and they figured it out. Chances are it will need a battery they sell and not available at Home Depot, etc. That's my suggestion.

My purchase was a gift to family far away. I only saw it by Skype! Sets usually list contents. Have you checked? It might be easier to contact the toy company and see if you can order spare parts. Sorry I'm not more help.

When you first open the box you will find the furby toy is held to a cardboard base. The cardboard is sandwiched between the furby toy and the round plastic base plate (secured by two screws). You will have to unscrew the baseplate to remove the cardboard. When you do this it will reveal the battery compartment. Toss the card board. Insert batteries and retighten the screws. And that is it.

Hey Chris, to change the batteries, just look to the left of the yellow power-on button and you will see a hole that's a little deep, that's where the screw is located. Just loosen that one screw and the section below it will come off and expose the batteries. Hope this helps.

New batteries did not help? Mine have been working fine. You can take it to any recycle bin in your area or put it in your own recycling bins for pick up. If you haven't had it long and new batteries don't work, I would contact the company who makes them.

A lot of people plug the charging cable into the wrong place. Do a google search on the Internet for the Lil' Rider and you should find out out where the plug goes. Toy has been long gone from my house so I forgot where it is. It was a great toy when we finally found all the hidden stuff.....ran well and kept a long charge. Would I have bought it knowing our problems? NO

Turn the mouse over and on the bottom is a cover marked "OPEN". Use a small coin or fingernail to pry this off. This is where the batteries (2 "AAA") are inserted. Be careful when placing a battery over the small plastic strip to leave a small strip available to make it easier to remove the bottom battery.

I have even purchased some of these at local stores. There should be a tag that needs to be pulled out, then I have found the ball needs to be shaken before putting it in the toy. Shaking the ball will activate the battery. If it still doesn't work (especially if it didn't come with a pull-out tag in place), it's probably a dead battery.

Wish I could tell you -- I would just take one to the hardware store and try to match it. Having to open the battery compartment with a screwdriver is the only complaint I had about this toy -- my cats love it and so do I. Probably the best toy I ever got them! Good luck.

I have the same question. There are no screws on the underside of the toy. So the answer given by Kathy b is unhelpful. This toy is annoyingly loud and changing the batteries in the toy is next to impossible.

I have the same issue. We just put batteries in the horse, but it doesn't do anything now. I thought maybe I need to replace the batteries in Barbie. We have been to busy to trouble shoot much.

We haven't had to do that yet so I don't know. I purchased this for my son and he absolutely loves it and uses it all the time. He is now in Alaska so I can ask him how to change the battery - but I don't have an answer right now. Sorry

Thank you for posting this! I tries to find out how to change the batteries another day but tonight I found your post and found the screw! The polar express is back in action!

I don't see any place to put batteries and I didn't use any with mine. However, I had a problem with it a few months ago. Somehow we found a remedy, but it's not working now. It rings, but I can't hear a dial tone or the person calling. It seems the caller can hear me, but not vice versa. I don't think I would buy another.

There is a velcro opening on the ponies neck. A box with the batteries is inside that opening with an on/off switch. Be careful when pulling the box out because the wires and disconnect and mess up the operation. That is why I was not too happy with mine. My grandbaby pulled on the wires and the pony was broken! The day after we received it. Good luck with yours. Once you have the switch on and batteries in, you press each ear. The mouth is supposed to move and one ear clippity-clops and the others makes a whinny noise.
