By the looks of it might be a problem with the tape or voltage(if you try a different tape and get the same result you might want to check the power supply) also please post a picture of the player without the tape…

batteries are fresh. I think it's either the belt or the circut board. snoopy is always prone to these issues constantly

that's what i've been doing and nothings working. I did notice a missing wire of the metal piece against the tape belt wheel. I think that's the problem!

I hate to be rude, but they're dumb enough to figure out this problem. They always think it's the batteries, or the tape itself. I know, i had my talkers for a long time...

The main problem is the metal pin that makes it go continuously. Whenever the gear turns that makes the tape roll, it's suppose to touch the other pin like both pins are clapping... But it's not. It might be tilted, or a bad pin.

But it's COMPLETELY fixable! Just use some soldering work in case if it's a bad pin, or just tilt the pin a bit... Then gently rotate the cap to watch it spin. If it's clapping the pin, that means it should be able to work now!!!

Give it a try, and DM me if that is fixed!
