1. 1

    Open up the battery door underneath your Furby. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver to do this correctly.

    Insert four AA batteries into Furby's battery compartment. Two go in the actual Furby's compartment, and the other two go inside the compartment in the battery door.

    If your Furby is new in box, restart it for it to turn on. To do this, hold down Furby's tongue switch. As you do this, use something small, such as a pen, to press down the reset button on the bottom of your Furby. After you do this, close the battery door. If your Furby wasn't new in box, than there is no need to do this.

  4. 4

    Screw in Furby's battery door. Make sure the screw isn't too tight, as it could become stripped.

    Now Furby is ready to play!

    Using a Phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the battery door. It should come completely off.

    Insert four AA batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure they are all facing the correct way, as they will be standing up in the compartment.

  4. 4

    Screw in the battery door. Make sure that the two little tabs are in their right place. If they aren't, the battery compartment won't screw in correctly.

  5. 5

    If your Furby was new in box, restart it before you can play with him. To do this, press and hold down Furby's tongue switch. As you do this, switch Furby's on/off switch to the "on" position. If your Furby wasn't new in box, then there is no need to do this.

    You could try pressing the reset button inside the battery compartment. Although, the Party Rockerz' reset switch is on the outside, and the 2005 furby has an on/off switch.

  • Sometimes, especially with the older Furbys, you will get them and they won't work. This is because the motor gets stuck from not being used for so long. This is an easy fix. If your Furby is an original Furby, than simply insert a small screwdriver above Furby's beak and turn it to the left until your Furby comes to life!
