ELC unHappyland Farm

[Pluto]

I unpacked the farm, disposed of all packaging and put working and tested batteries in so I was all all set for Xmas day morning. However I can't get any of the promised sounds to work. :( Any suggestions?

Isn't there a switch?

Don't despair - happy land is super - lasts and lasts.

I don't think so - I had a good luck. Perhaps I am being a dunce though - will double check.

I really want it to work - I had lots of plans to get more Happyland so this isn't a good start.

Look for one of those clear plastic tabs to pull out near he battery holder

any luck?

dont give up hope yet

hapy land is fab

switched underneath the wwhole thing

clear bit to pull out by the battery cover

batteries in the right way round

dead batteries?

Sorted! There is no switch or plastic tab...but I replaced the rechargeable batteries with normal ones and now we have full on mooing, baaing and cockadoodledooing!

The rechargeable ones were definitely working so I don't really know what's going on there.

Hurrah - now we can get back to planning on what to get for DS next! :)

Sometimes, rechargeable batteries aren't as powerful as ordinary ones. They do come in different "strengths" though.

I don't think I've ever got rechargeable to work in the TV remotes for example.
