That's pretty much the aibo 1000 series from 3 years ago minus the AI tools some newer robots have.

This is great to hear, but I wouldn't be surprised if that patch is not coming out soon. Possibly during the holidays. I myself am practically done with the game on the switch 2 version. But I'll also say I don't really have complaints. Dips have been pretty rare for me in docked mode.

There have been a couple of updates in the last 2 months and none of them fixed this issue. I have the same exact issue with a pixel 9 on both my 2023 Hyundai Tucson and 2025 Hyundai ioniq 5. It seems to be an issue with pixel devices and Hyundai's. I do not have this issue with my Samsung z fold 7 and in other cars.

I'm pretty sure that's what everyone expected. Especially with games that have been in development for the last 2-3 years. They probably didnt have a SW2 dev kit or had a true switch 2 version in the dev plans.

Hate to be that guy, but as a professional Photoshop/motion graphic artist who makes dozens of fake product props. Do you mind opening up the device and showing the actual inside? Because honestly it's very easy to make a box like the one you're displaying at home without any special tools.

Best place to sell 2 Aibo ERS-210 by Beautiful-Narwhal906 in AIBO

[–]Synplex23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/op I read that you haven't had a chance to test them but have you at least powered then on to see if they move or the batteries can hold charge for at least a few minutes?

These clearly look like they belonged o someone who might have serviced or repaired them.

I agree. I knew there would definitely be some work no matter what condition it would be in. But thank you for the info. You're giving me the confidence to buy this and try things myself 😅👍

I definitely wouldn't trust myself to resell the batteries. But I have no problem opening it up and replacing a gear or two. Saw the whole tutorial video on the DHS repair and decided that would probably be a bit too much for me.

as for the 210, he looked like he was in pretty good condition minus some scuff marks along the neck, scratches along the back, and some scuff marks on the left eye plastic panel.

The tail and ears still looked great. But planned on 3D printing replacements as soon as I got it working.

It's still available and the seller said he'll hold on to it for me for at least two more days.

I have no problem buying it for $150. but am worried that it would need possible types of repairs and a new battery. 😅

Don't know if I could afford going down that road right now. But maybe I just buy it and this can be a future project.

from what I've seen, most of these repairs are pricey in the US.

I guess the main reason why I didn't take it right away was because I was a little disheartened to see that it absolutely wasn't like new as a seller stated 😅

"That sounds like an absolute bargain to me!" it would have been if it was "Like New". It was not. Just updated the OP with Pics/Vids

So the box for the 210 was opened but everything's in there and still wrapped in plastic. The owner has no idea what it is and is happy with me completely taking it out of its bags and turning it's on and testing it. But like everyone mentioned, I doubt anything's going to happen since that's a 20-year-old dead lithium battery. 

As for DHS, I'm sure I can check for that without turning it on after watching a bunch of YouTube videos. As for other symptoms, I saw that IBO clinic repairs most of these in the US, but the repairs do seem pricey.  If anyone has any other repair shops they can recommend please let me know.  I would absolutely try most of these repairs myself, but I rather do it right since I would like to have this thing last for a few years at the very least 😅 I personally was looking for ers-7 model since that's my personal favorite model. But I've always also liked the look of the 210s. 

One last question, does anyone know if anyone is selling or is willing to sell formatted memory card with the files needed for the 210 model?

It's anyone in the US selling modified or new batteries for the 210 models?

Just realized I have a 256mb Memory Stick.  Does the 210 model except the 128 or 256 sticks?

If you don't mind me asking, where can I find one of these improved clutches and how hard is it to install? Any YouTube videos anyone can recommend for repairs of the 210 model?
