Thread: does anyone know how i can get this gemmy witch fixed

Does anyone know how I can get this Gemmy witch to work. It only worked one halloween, and is stored indoors, I just think that its odd that sometimes it works all together like before I started filming than craps out the second time through, I love this prop when its working correctling, so any help would be much appreciated.

• YouTube - I need a fix for Gemmy witch with cauldron

Usually when I leave her off for a while she goes through the hole thing but after that she acts up as you can see any fixe ideas let me know.

Looks like either a power problem or overheating problem. I see it doesn't have a wall wart but is there a power pack anywhere?

If it's overheating then test by exposing the electronics and putting a fan on it to cool it.

Its strange that it doesn't have a power adapter ( wall wart)

I am going out on a limb here, but is the sensor that turns it on going bad? Maybe it is getting double "sensed" and turning off. (no pun intended...)

My witch has crackling when talking. It works fine in all areas but with the speaking. Some times she is ok, then other times it will crackle.

That witch should have a wall wart....I have 2 of them. If your witch has a microphone, I would switch the settings on the base and use the microphone and see if the witch acts up when using the microphone. This will bypass the motion sensor. If you dont have a mic see if you have an AUX input for sound. This will do the same thing and allow you to bypass the motion sensor.

Yeah she craps out with the microphone also.

And what is a wall wart.

Power adapter, power cord with boxed pronged end, like a charger.
