Method 2 of 2: Going Above The Beak

1Push down the beak. You should be able to see inside.

3Insert the screwdriver to the left of the beak and push it down as far as it can go.

4Spin your screwdriver to the left. If you are in the right spot, then you should be at the gear mentioned in the previous method.
- To know if you are in the right spot, look at Furby's ears and eyelids. They should move slightly every time you spin the screwdriver.

5Once you feel that you have spun it enough, put batteries into Furby. Most likely he will start right up!Ad
Warnings
- Make sure to do this without batteries in your Furby. The motor could spark while you spin it, which could burn it out.
