When we enter the bug code nothing happens. No response. The batteries are new, the light works find and the voice is loud and clear.

Maybe you are inserting the slide the wrong way the two little cuts have to go in and then you press the code, if it is not working is damaged, mine works perfect and I use it in my daycare with 12 children.

Make sure the slide is first locked into the unit (its a light click) then press Facts "!" button or Quiz "?" button and the unit will ask you for the code. Turn the dial to proceed to the next question or fact. Hope that helps.

Take the slide out and make sure that it aligns properly. This has happened to us.

I never experienced an error or fault code, but from talking with a friend, It needs to go back! You could try replacing batteries, but more than likely it will not fix the issue!

No, mine works great. Try opening the Velcro on the belly and check the batteries.

It must be broken - if you put new batteries in, should work. Contact seller.

One of the two that I ordered showed no signs of power. The other didn't seem to bother the bugs. My mother had one of a different brand that worked really well for several years. Dumb me discarded it before noting the brand name. Good luck.

I just tried mine, and it worked fine. Be sure that the button end of each battery is against the flat contact, not the spring contact, and that they are in securely. Spin them in their slot. That fixes a lot of problems. I spent 30 minutes yesterday, trying to fix a toy we had found. I put new batteries in, to no avail. I took the entire electronics apart, even soldering on jumpers to bypass the circuit board. Nothing. Finally, I put a meter on the output of the battery box. No output!. I spun the batteries in their seats, and Voila! Also, the button end of the battery holder goes in first. Be sure the button contact on the battery holder springs back when you push it in. That's really all that can go wrong with it. Good luck!

I just changed the battery that's a watch disc battery, and it still does not respond to the rgb 50/50 strip led lights. I simply cannot get the lights to work. I have wrote them off. I am handicapped and I was going to illuminate my wheelchair lift on my van, but could not get the lights to work.

Hello, I do understand that you put a new battery in and that she will not cheer, I do not understand why she won't cheer. I had checked them before listing them and they all worked. Would you please try to remove the battery and then rub steel wool on the metal part where the battery attaches and then try again. Please let me know what happens when you do this. Steve

YES, I just bought it, put new batteries in and it didn't work, bought more new batteries(in case the one's I bought were old) still doesn't work. I am fixing to research if I can get my money back from Amazon.

Hey Bob, try opening transmitter battery box and wiggle the batteties. Sometimes they don't all make contactHey Bob, try opening the battery box on the transmitter. Wiggle the batteries. Sometimes they don't make good contact. If u used the batteries they supplied maybe they don't have enough juice Try those and see if it helps. I find that quite often.

call Avent directly (800) 542-8368 ... they sent me a battery. also, first try to reset the unit before going thru the trouble of waiting on a battery. that was the problem with our unit, not the battery. unplug both units. remove battery from parent unit. wait 10secs. hold the (-) volume button on the parent unit while you reinsert the battery. the unit will then beep. the unit has now been reset. plug both units back in. you may have to relink the parent unit. if this is the case the "link" light will be blinking on the parent unit. so if resetting the unit does not work then it may be the battery.

Don't exactly know. Haven't seen that with mine. Was it working before or was this right out of the box new? Maybe low battery. Maybe weight limit exceeded. I'd reread the instructions. If you don't have them, I'd look online for them. Then, I'd call the manufacturer's customer service phone.

I have the same issue, so when I go to use it, I actually hit the enter button first, then I enter the code number followed by the enter button again. Then it works on the first try. I figure it just needs to 'wake up' first.

My Furby will not listen when he speaks. It came damaged?. Or you can do something to get it working again. I have tried several options and no. New batteries and does not work. What should I do?

Hello,If the bug is off there is no signal for the detector to find. the bug/camera/gps device MUST be on. The only thing that may be off is a hidden camera because this machine will locate the lens of the camera.Thank you.Sleuth Electronics LLC

maybe, your software/firmware might need refresh and or update, if still not working after that then yup it's probably dead...(might try new fresh batteries too....)

Check for a warranty, if you would be organized enough to claim on it. FWIW, we had extremely good service out of the ones we bought years and years ago. Not sure if manufacturing has changed. My child was a toddler when we bought them, and he's almost out of the teen years old now. A few times through all those years, we've noticed a few bugs and unplugged it and plugged it in and it's started working again; or plugged it in for a couple of weeks in a different area of this house when I started seeing a few bugs in far flung areas. (My limit is 3 bugs before I react.) We JUST ordered a replacement for one unit. I started seeing a few bugs this Summer. The lights on the unit were not acting as they had in the past. (There's a pattern to the lights if you watch it.) This time, unplugging it did not reset it -- not sure if it finally failed or if that unit got hit by lightning. This time, the electronics guy here said it had really failed. Of course, with any electronics, no telling if the newer made units are manufactured elsewhere or with different components. So I can't predict quality of the newer units. It's worth a try imo because two of these units have kept my large house bug-free (other than spiders in the ceiling and ants coming in the back door), never sprayed any insecticides, for... 16 - 18 yrs? I hope the new units give as good service! (Said engineer is going to open the failed unit up and see if it's simply a capacitor or something repairable when he gets time. Just curiosity. The schematics are available online now if you search for the patent. But we just went ahead and bought a new unit. )
