Many of the Teddy Ruxpin’s parts are all controlled by the main motherboard. If an issue with your bear boils down to more than just a replaceable part, it may be time to replace the motherboard. Desoldering is required, so be sure to refer to the desoldering guide. You will also need to use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to access the motherboard.
