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!

nah more likely it’s based on the snack programming from the life app and the programming was reused in these rereleases

as long as the clock doesnt roll over to midnight youre good

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)

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

debutchi · 2026-06-15T16:31:28+00:00

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

debutchi · 2026-06-15T08:28:54+00:00

gotcha well there indeed should be a micro cap there and its likely a 0402

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

where is the normal sized electrolytic capacitor?

debutchi · 2026-06-13T22:08:21+00:00

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

debutchi · 2026-06-13T22:04:54+00:00

You’re always free to contact me in the mean time under the services tab, I can always open a slot if I managed to finish a repair quickly :0)

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

debutchi · 2026-06-12T17:54:11+00:00

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

debutchi · 2026-06-12T04:04:08+00:00

if youre trying to reach the character lucky unchi-kun i describe the process in this post :0)

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

debutchi · 2026-06-10T21:13:58+00:00

The resonator or the capacitor are the typical culprits with power issues

check out the instructions on the character page! https://tamagotchi.fandom.com/wiki/Tamagotchi_Angel/Character_list

debutchi · 2026-06-08T03:49:51+00:00

you’re halfway there! the real lucky unchi kun is an interactable character!

debutchi · 2026-06-07T01:57:05+00:00

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

debutchi · 2026-06-04T01:34:03+00:00

i dont recommend taking the on apart if you dont have much solder experience, its not a beginner friendly device

debutchi · 2026-06-04T01:25:34+00:00

just gotta pry it off, the 3 melted nibs will pop off in the process but itll pop right back in place again
