New to this and a friend has just handed me this brick and asked if I can replace the battery. Tried my set of Allen keys but that does not seem to do the trick. Does a tool come with the kit (6168 inter alia)? Can I get hold of the tool some how? If not, can I ge hold of a couple of these bricks? I've added them to my wishlist here but is there anywhere else I should be looking?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

    Must say this site was useless to this inquirer.

    The answer is that the tool required is a T6 Torx (widely available and most places that deal in the insides of mobile phones have one).

    The batteries are £5 each from a retail outlet or 10 for £2.55 (p&p free) from www.miniinthebox.com

    I'll say sorry no one got to you Bill, thanks for sharing the answer.

    I looked at the entry when you posted this but I have never had one of these.

    Regards,

    If you'd posted a pic you could have had that answer in seconds.

    What do you mean by "reprogram". Change the music it plays?

    New ones, most likely, the sound will be on a little chip on the board. There are one time program chips and ones you can change.

    Generally would be easier with modern ones to put a new module in you know does what you want/is recordable. Compared to finding out if it is recordable and then where to contact the board and whatnot.

    Google "greeting card sound modules" or something like that and poke around.

    Never even thought of the greeting card chips.
