We just got one yesterday and its doing the same thing. We charged the battery all day yesterday...it Finally turned green and still does the beep 3 times and nothing else. So i put it back on the charger and now the light has been red for the past 4 hrs...not sure why it would still need to charge for so long when we haven't even gotten to play w/ him??? Play let me know if u find a solution. Huge bummer for my son.
Ours is doing the same :( So upsetting because we were all really excited to play with it and now it wont work.
Ok i have the solution, it happen the samething to my baby bigfoot .
First, flip down the toy "bigfoot". near the power button under his right foot , insert a pin, or any other pointing object, while the power is off. Holding the pin in the hole near the power button, put the power on back , next thing you will hear strange beeping noise, remember to keep the pin pushing down gently all the time until the beeping continue at least for 3 seconds, then take the remote control and start pushing every button,one by one wich leads to diferent funtions , and after this step charge the battery again and your big foot is ready again. thanks hope this help.
I was so excited when I read this post. I followed the steps exactly, but when I turned him back on, he just beeped three times again. Any other ideas on what to do? The toy is discontinued, the place I bought it from is no help, and the manufacturer has yet to respond. At this point, I would settle for a wiring schematic. It wouldn't be the first toy I've had to tear down and repair, but I would rather not sail in blind.
Okay, so I am now facing the same problem... I just followed the instructions step by step and Bigfoot made the beeping for all the 3 seconds... I have no put the battery pack on to charge.
I turned out having to take a more aggressive approach to the beeping issue. The company got back to me in early December, and offered me a $50 coupon usable toward the purchase of any Imaginext toy in exchange for the battery cover from the toy and the remote. They also told me the beep code I was getting was, in layman terms, a failure of one or more motors to respond.
If you do break into this toy, which they strongly cautioned me against, make sure you have the right tools. I recommend a digital camera with a viewer on it and a magnetic tipped phillips screwdriver. Work on it away from small hands, and on a large flat surface. Have a bowl nearby to hold the screws in. take pictures of each piece, and make sure you can see the picture, before removal. Only remove what you have to, and make sure the battery is disconnected. When you get inside, reconnect any loose plugs. Much like a computer, they can only fit one way. If you do this without a magnetic screwdriver, you will hate this toy by the time you finish. You are still not likely to be fond of it, as reassembly is not as easy as disassembly. Even if you fail, all the manufacturer will ask for is the battery cover and remote... unless you tell them you tried to fix it.
Whatever you do, don't tell them you tried to fix it. They warned me that would void any obligation they had to make it right. By the way, mine works great now. Two loose plugs. Makes you wonder what kind of quality control they had going there.

I just started having this problem after having the toy almost 3 years. I read the solutions and decided to try something my own. I turned the toy on, let it finish beeping and the hit the power reset button....I pushed his tummy and he's working now :) hope this helps!
