Replacing the DC motor requires you remove the back panel and light sensor circuit board. The most difficult part of this replacement is removing the clips holding the fur on to the back panel.

How do you connect the new motor after that? and does this work for Furby Booms too?
Donde puedo comprar el motor? Se supone que si necesito cambiarlo es porque tengo que comprar primero uno. Gracias
Hi. Where can I buy a replacement motor please?
Generic replacement motors are on Ebay. The one I got was RF-300CA
I could not find the exact motor.
Specs: 1.5-6 volt.
24.2mm x 12.4mm (24x12).
10 or 12mm long shaft x 2mm diameter.
.99 cents free shipping. Two weeks from China.

You will need to de-solder the little half-moon shaped control board off the bottom of the old motor. Crazy glue it to the bottom of the new motor. Then solder the the red wires together and black wires together. Then solder them to the board. The old motor had spikes sticking out the bottom to connect the control board. The generic replacement motors have wires instead. I searched the entire internet. I could not find the exact motor.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WWecJ_I... It’s in Spanish, but you’ll get the idea.
To get the ears off. Firmly twist and pull them…HARD.
Good luck.
And how do I disconnect the coil from the motor? Just pulling hard?
