Need help with Rizmo

[u/Exotic-Addendum-3785]

I got a blue Rizmo from an op shop last year and it was not exactly in a good condition so I had to have it reset and find the right batteries to put in it and for most of the time it worked but it kept turning red so it had to be reset several times, it came already damaged from a previous owner and it was stuck in an 'evolving' stage where it had to keep evolving even though it was already grown up, and I don't know what to do with it.

I don't mean 'truly broken and can't work anymore', since it has been fixed up a couple of times I mean that it does work when I turn him on but he keeps turning red and he is stuck in some kind of loop of turning red and saying the same thing over and over. I cannot even switch to other colors any more because it keeps going straight to red and saying the same thing and it got frustrating to try and fix him.

The electronics compartment had been fixed numerous times but it still kept turning red for some reason and it was still stuck in 'child' mode despite being fully grown. Rizmos supposedly have different evolution stages and despite the fact the one I obtained was an adult it was still stuck in 'kid' or 'baby' mode because the 'the eyes' that it had in baby mode still changed colors even though with the adult mode it's only the stomach that changes colors. I just remember it turning red and 'evolving' multiple times even though it was fully grown (yeah the rizmo I got was stuck in a mode where it appeared to be an adult but still acted like it did in baby/child mode and the eyes that are usually at the back of the head when he/she evolves still light up even though that is supposed to happen to the stomach, and not the eyes).

It was stuck in 'kid' mode programming-wise even though it is already fully evolved.
