2-XL Robot stopped responding to the program cassettes. No sound or lights come on. I have tried new batteries and checked volume level. The toy was stored inside the home so not exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures. It just mysteriously stopped working.
The Mego 2-XL and the newer Tiger both require maintenance on the 8 track/cassete players.
Half of the units I have repaired have had the IC inside ruined by connecting the wrong external power supply or the correct one but with the polarity reversed.This kills the IC.
If you need help, PLEASE go to my web site, NOW.

I do not know what you are talking about (did you mean for me to contact Tiger Electronics?) , but I decided that the batteries I thought were new (they were in a basket where I put new batteries after I open a package to get one out) might have at least one in the group that was not new so I bought 4 new batteries and 2XL now works fine. A guy who owns four 2XLs had told me if the problem was a weak battery I would still get sound but it would sound sluggish. Apparently that is not true in this case :) Thanks anyway =)
