A Toy Repair shed for articles, ideas and videos of Toy Repairs carried out by Blog Owner fixed1t and others. If you have a broken toy then check to see is somebody in the shed has done a fixer. If your a fixer of toys post links to your videos here in the shed and collaborate in suggesting fixes. I want this to be a Toy Fixing community blog.

A Great Opportunity To See And Unloved Huge Toy Robot Rejuvenated
I've managed to get hold of a WowWee Robotics Robosapien RS V2 in White which must have been purchased as new before 2009. This unit is fully boxed and although the box is a little tatty, it has all the internal panels and restraints in place. This truly is an Unloved Toy that must have sat in a garage or attic somewhere for over a decade, only to be discovered and sold to me. As many of you know these robots had a serious Manufacturing fault in that the insulated wire running between the chest input/output and CPU boards to the sensors and motors in the legs was gravely inferior. Since manufacture the wire sleeving has dried up turning the brittle dust. If the V2 Robot had batteries in it when this happen it invariably died and in some cases caught fire due to the huge current for the 6 x D size batteries shorting out and in some cases exploding. What makes this one so very special is it has never had batteries in it, its wiring although most likely dried out has never short-circuited. Its also serendipitous that I happen to see it on eBay and purchase it as repaired Humanoid Robots is my speciality. There I should be able to return this rare unused Robosapien V2 to Brand New state before passing it on to a good home. So if you were ever interested in robots as a child and fixing things this Four Part series is for you or a geek you know or for a child who is handy with a screw driver. Please try not to skip through the video as there are important links to as the "i" information link in the top right hand corner. Thanks for your continued support through my fixed1t support links at the end of my videos and for being my subscribers, its much appreciated.
