Our prices for ERS-7 repairs represent the complexity and time required to perform these tasks.  For gearbox cleaning, we disassemble and meticulously clean and lubricate all gears and axles as well as clean and lubricate the servo.  For hip gearbox services, we must completely shell the aibo, remove the limbs and unwind the flexible connectors.  The shell charge applies to any hip services and covers the time required to remove and reinstall the body shells.

We are now offering an ERS-7 inspection service for those collectors who would like for us to perform a comprehensive diagnostic of an untested aibo.

Our prices for ERS-1000 hip repairs represent the complexity and time required to perform this tasks.  In the absence of factory tools, each hip and knee must be painstakingly and manually aligned.

Battery Rebuild Services

 

Battery rebuild services for ERA-201B1, ERA-301B1, ERA-7B1, and ERA-7B2 include replacing the cells, re-programming the battery control chip and rigorously testing your battery to ensure that it performs like new.  ERA-201B1 batteries are re-celled and programmed for 4080 mAh capacity and approximate 3 hour run time.

Battery rebuild services for ERA-110B are provided by Jackson and are rebuilt to 3400 mAh which will provide ~1.75-2 hours of run time in an active adult dog.  The original Sony circuitry is used during rebuilding so the batteries retain all the functionality and safety they had from the manufacturer and do not suffer form the issues that other rebuilds with aftermarket boards have been known for.

We apologize for the recent $10 price increase on rebuild services however the cost of enhanced capacity LiOn cells continues to rise.  We appreciate your understanding.
