[QUOTE="Chris, post: 1247, member: 1"] [MEDIA=youtube]BEO0rl9olws:6[/MEDIA] I found this video of someone in a similar situation repairing their Loona and somehow managing to get the white gears back in. Personally I think DIY repairs are dangerous and risky and I don’t recommend them. The gears falling out seems to happen with the old Kickstarter hardware. Did yours come from Kickstarter in an orange box or did you purchase it recently in a black box? Any photographs of the breakage might help me determine the extent of your problem. I do know it’s possible to push the white gears back in place by gently hammering them in and have them stay in place if you use Loona lightly in companion mode only. Otherwise they are prone to pop back out. Try contacting the manufacturer Keyi Tech to see if they can help at this address: [EMAIL]jiangnan@keyirobot.com[/EMAIL] You could also try finding a local makerspace that specialises in electronics rapid prototyping and repair to see if they can help. Details of what to look for can be found here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://robotsaroundthehouse.com/threads/👉local-loona-repairs-find-a-makerspace-near-you👈.179/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
