I recently tried to get my original 1998 Furby to work, and found that it was dead. If your old Furby won’t wake up or won’t start up and appears dead, you may be able to fix it in a few seconds without having to take it apart. It doesn’t look like the spiral gear I remember, so either there is another gear I missed, or there was a variation of the Furby Update: Commenter Samuel submitted a photo of the gear.There were about 300 views of it on Christmas day. 12/2016 Update: A year later, and folks are still finding this article.Who knew there were so many folks out there with bad Furbys!
