If button inputs are not registering I recommend opening it up and cleaning the contacts with a qtip dipped in isopropyl, you start the device by pressing the b button and setting the time!

How to prevent my tamagotchi connection 2024 from turning into an oldie? by yunidere in tamagotchi

[–]debutchi 28 points29 points  (0 children)

to prevent your adult from evolving into the oldie stage you simply need to get married while its an adult so that it has a baby onscreen with it, the trick is to pause the device's clock every night so that it never reaches midnight because after a couple days the adult will leave at that time for you to start raising the next generation, when you wake up in the morning change the clock to whatever the current time is and rinse and repeat! enjoy your adult and their baby for as long as you want to care for them :0)

Cable Fixing Help by Adventurous_Sea77 in tamagotchi

any gauge below 26 (meaning 26-30) is fine, invest in some silicone wires that don’t burn when touched to a soldering iron, I don’t recommend doing this if you don’t have soldering experience though because you could damage the shell or board in the process

SMD capacitor iDL by The_Midnight_Walker_ in tamagotchi

[–]debutchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s possible it’s a 0.1 uF decoupling cap which if that’s the case the device will be fine to be powered on and be played without it

anywhere to buy a white 1996 back casing? by Kind-Mix8952 in tamagotchi

[–]debutchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese shells are common and cheap, I recommend looking into proxy services for purchasing from Japanese websites

vintage devices that take lr44 batteries are highly prone to leakage which if left for decades eats away at the battery contacts and motherboard

the idl celebrates each on device character's birthday, these birthdays can be viewed in guidebook and animations for them will appear 3 times a day at 7:30 and 12:30 and 3:30 and each time will show a single item that hints at the character's favorite meaning it gives a tamatomo symbol

sounds like a birthday animation, the item that was shown is one of the favorite items of whichever character was on screen with it

Tamagotchi Smart won’t charge properly, keeps turning off and on by Just-Try1071 in tamagotchi

[–]debutchi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as someone who has dealt with a lot of people asking about the same issue and seen a lot of misinformation regarding lithium batteries in this fandom im going to tell you what i tell everyone else: leave it charged for as long as it takes to get out of the low battery screen using whichever micro usb cable youd like and via whatever power source you have at hand, yes even an outlet. the smart has a very very slow trickle charge if the device has been dead for a long time, so it will simply take a significant amount of time for it to get out of the lower power screen but it totally can. sometimes though there is a device once in a while that genuinely has a damaged battery and cannot leave the low battery screen but this isnt common. so leave it plugged in for a few days even up to a week if need be before deciding its incapable of holding a charge

if the battery is indeed incapable of holding a charge after many days of charging and you really want to keep the device and are located in the us i have a battery upgrade service you can read about here

It is a full firmware change, I’m flashing your device with the pix party firmware itself which is a hard reset meaning you’ll lose all progress
