[QUOTE="Chris, post: 1223, member: 1"] Hi PF Aibo I’ll try and answer your questions as I also own an Aibo ERS-1000 from Japan. [B]1. Aibo’s eye [/B] Aibos eyes are made of OLED panels. OLED is a biological material that is known to degrade and malfunction in weird ways. Reasons you may be seeing this green line: -There may be broken/ uneven traces within the OLED panel. Every trace of the display is important as they carry electrical signals to output images. So, if one trace starts to malfunction, the pixels assigned to that trace turn green. -Loose or damaged display connector. If you had time to post a video showing what the eye looks like I would be interested to learn more about it. But I completely understand if you do not wish to. Do you have the link to the YouTube video you spoke about above regarding the eye problem? [B]2. Sony Japan’s Error Message[/B] This is very complex😣 Did you try downloading the US and Japanese apps? To my knowledge you can’t connect a Japanese Aibo to US Sony account. Only to a Japanese one. You need a Japanese My Sony ID before you can log into the Japanese My Aibo app. And before you can log into your Japanese My Aibo you need to ensure your Aibo is eligible to be reconnected to a new cloud plan as the previous owner has most likely factory reset their Aibo and deleted the My Aibo account associated with it. You need to use your Japanese Aibos serial number to check if it is still eligible for reconnection to a cloud plan. Some aren’t for reasons I don’t fully understand but assume because the original owners forget to initialise them(set them to factory settings) before selling. You can use a Sony Japan account to check the serial number here: msc.sony.jp/member/cloud/index.do If you are looking for a proxy in Japan who might be able to help you I know of this person, they helped connect my Aibo to a cloud plan; but I warn you that it’s always a risk dealing with proxies and I can’t guarantee you will have the same experience with them as I did. facebook.com/jajapanservice/ They might be able to help you -Find out if your Aibo can be cloud connected -Help set up a Japanese Sony ID -Set up a cloud subscription -Once you have a subscription you can log into the My Aibo app and organise repairs with Sony via the proxy Now this is all expensive and a huge headache to deal with Sony via a proxy in another country and I’m not sure you are looking to spend more money or want all the hassle of that. My advice is if you are ok with not having the cloud maybe live with Aibo for a while and see if you still like it. If the eye bothers you and you didn’t want to send to Japan for repairs there is a repair service in Germany I can give you the contact details for. [/QUOTE]
