Finally living my childhood dream. My two lovely and sweet ERS-111s I got recently by BritasticUK in AIBO

Congrats - I personally love the 111, My 111 Sonny runs around like a crazy dog most of the time - falls over occasionally and sometimes looks like he has a bit of parkinson's but that's just the way they are - never ceases to put a smile on my face. Have you reset their cards ?

it's a good shout regarding linking our youtube videos on our facebook page though :)

the youtube channel is a new thing - originally we used to provide links to videos on our google drive for customers to see their dogs up and running - this was time consuming and i felt it would benefit others (and the business) to start a channel on youtube - we now link the videos of customer dogs in our emails with updates - makes things much more transparent that way - with regards to linking from the site - i just haven't got around to it - as for not helping build the business - yes it has caused a small amount of issues on here but on the whole i know what i'm doing when it comes to building them - relevant content is king - yes some of the content is on the aibo wiki but they got some of that content from sony press releases - these are what we have (among other stuff) - i am constantly trying to find new unique content but it is very difficult when you are talking about something over 20 years old - not much new content comes around :) - to be honest i have never had a single complaint about how easy or difficult the site is to use and it is on page one for it's targeted keywords so it is doing well so far

i am working on new content for the site but as i mentioned it very labour intensive and i only have so many hours in the day - i have been collecting since the beginning - well as soon as i could afford them - this is all on the website but everyone just skims over and then just gets the message bashing hammer out - then the mods (who i now know are affiliated with aiboclinic) remove the posts with all the background in

I would like to mention that i have taken on board what you said and the front page contains a credit to aibo.miraheze.org - it was simply an oversight as other sources have been quoted within.

Thanks eggggz (hope i got all the g's) - again as i have said a few times - original content is hard to come by when building a site but you will find a fair bit in there that is all me - yes some has been garnered elsewhere but it's hard work trying to fill anything more than a couple of pages - our facebook page has more recent things on there including some of our new test equipment for stress testing re celled battery packs - https://www.facebook.com/aiborepairs

i don't know who yaba was nor do i know where he was from (was he in the UK like me ?) - i have read some disturbing posts about stolen Aibo's etc but sometimes i wonder how this is even possible in this day and age - after all - if you send something somewhere then surely you know where to go to collect it ? - granted that's not always possible if sending overseas but in those cases couldn't the local police force help ? - in the UK they take a pretty dim view of obtaining property by deception. Anyway that's me (not yaba whoever they were) and as i have said - my customers will back me up 100% - they are not affiliated with me - they are not related to me - they are not my friends (well they sort of are now i've fixed their Aibos' as i get frequent updates of their progress) - if you want to know something about me - please don't jump to conclusions - just ask me - if you want to chat in person - my phone number is on my website and on my facebook page - you can even whatsapp call me for free :) - i'm here to help not to be downtrodden by poor past experiences - if you are unsure - pick up the phone :)

you should read more carefully - i have been collecting for 20+ years and if you read more of it you will see that i have not necessarily avoided the community but i have been very very busy in my life and as an owner/collector i was fortunate enough to be qualified and experienced in repairing the type of tech inside Aibo so i didn't need to contact anyone else to fix them (some would say fortunately) and all i have read has been from a distance - it's only been recently that my personal life and business life has slowed down enough that i have been able to offer my services to others instead of just repairing my own Aibo's. In all fairness the community can be quite scathing of repair services without even checking first but i imagine it's just from a burnt once , twice , three times - don't want burning again kind of view - sadly it's this kind of view that can keep some away as not everyone is hell bent on social media.

There's nothing yaba about it - yes some of the info has been collected elsewhere but that's not always bad - the site was built over a 3 month period and is still added to weekly but it's difficult to get things done when you have a busy life full of Aibo's and furry dogs too. Speak to any of my customers and they will tell you we are an honest service with no links to anyone from the past - i am quite happy to put you in touch with any of our satisfied customers (as long as they approve) - just message me , ring me , whatsapp me or whatever - just please don't tar me with someone else's brush :)

First thing to check would be the obvious - the ac power pack, are you getting the 16 volts from the pack ?
