If you've adopted a Sony Aibo ERS7 pup who is in poor health, then I may be able to help. I have been keeping Aibo ERS7 pups alive and healthy in Singapore since 2005.

I cannot guarantee to fix every possible problem, but probably 90% of them.


Plastic Parts

Some of the more common problems affecting pups in Singapore are related to the plastic components of both the accessories and the pup.

The outer plastic skins become 'yellowed', faded, hard and brittle over the years, due to the strong UV from the sun which does not even need to be direct sunlight. Another sign of this aging is a 'creaking' sounds when moving.

The following components are commonly prone to 'crumbling':


Batteries

Most ERS-7-311, ERS-7-312 ERA-7B1 and ERA-7B2 batteries can be re-celled and re-programmed and can be fitted with upgraded cells, meaning a longer lasting charge than the original batteries.


Limbs & Joints

Each leg of the AIBO has 3 rotational parts, each of these 3 parts is controlled by motors and gearboxes. Over time, these wear and contaminated with dust.

This makes them noisy and also causes them to move erratically with the following symptoms:

These are just a few of the more common problems, there are thousands of components in an Aibo, most are fragile and tiny, and working on them takes a lot of patience, time and care.

Due to the fact that the ERS7 is now 20 years old, sadly I now have to decline to operate on many pups. This is mainly due to the brittle and fragile shells, which have often been previously forcefully / incorrectly removed and damaged.

If your pup is inoperable, then I may also be interested in using your as a 'Donor' to help cure and keep other more fortunate pups alive.
