    Yes, Furbys are so incredibly loud that I would leave mine mute. I don't think I'd bother trying to disconnect the speaker in mine, though. I'm awful with technology and it's really not worth the risk.

    Do you know if the 2012 Furbys use the same speaker? Mine is from 2012 and it stopped talking, as far as I understand the Furby Booms were a slight improvement on the 2012 ones. I don't have another Furby to replace the speaker.

    This video should be called, the stunning way to kill a Furby motor, Furby Boom motors die very easily, Especially if you use cheap batteries, or weird brand batteries, which you did. You need to use regular Duracell AA, Not powerboost, just the regular kind, try to look online until you can find the correct kind, You will also have to get A new Motor.

    Hi! Thanks for commenting. The motor was not dead, I disassembled the gearbox and put it back together, and the little friend was moving again. More likely my big speaker in this video caused this with its massive magnetic field. Every type AA Battery is around 1.5 V if it is healthy, this def. can't be an issue! 😉
