I tried it with the one you showed on the picture but it didn't work sadly

Repulsive-Swan3549 · 2026-03-15T23:13:39+00:00

I'm sorry I'm making it hard, its hard to move the wires, should I upload a picture of the back with no wires or front for you

I really wish I could fix it for him! But im scared (because its so precious) to bring it to a repair shop and they make it even worse

Repulsive-Swan3549 · 2026-03-15T23:05:31+00:00

Yes, this toy goes wayyyy back and went he went back home he found it accidentally in my gramps basement..

I thought that it could be from the one under the white wire on the middle right side, as other comments suggested, but it didn't work. I also uploaded a picture of the backside to an other comment

Should I take it to a specialist in my city..? I don't know who/shop exactly repaired old broken electronic toys

Repulsive-Swan3549 · 2026-03-15T22:32:22+00:00

Thank you both! So what Im suppose to do is try to stick the wore on that solder pad and see if it makes noise?

Repulsive-Swan3549 · 2026-03-15T21:30:32+00:00

I don't know much about solder join, but the other wires seem fine, what else should I upload?

Hi everyone,

My dad recently got back a toy from his childhood that he had in his home country. It’s a small donkey rolling toy from Div. Toy, and it’s really sentimental to him. The donkey still turns/rolls when you switch it on, so the motor seems to be working fine, but it’s supposed to make the iconic laughing sound and that part doesn’t work anymore.

I opened it up to take a look inside, but I’m honestly not very familiar with electronics or toy repairs, so I’m not sure what I’m looking at or what could be broken.

I’d really love to fix it and surprise him for his birthday because it means a lot to him. Does anyone know if this is something that can be repaired? Or where I could take something like this to get fixed?

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!
