Introdução
If the microphone of your Petcube Play 2 (identified by model number PP2OUS) is malfunctioning, use this guide to replace it.
The Petcube Play 2 comes with an LED that turns different colors that relay what state the Petcube is in. These can include when the LED turning green when setting up, turning blue when it is streaming, and error-related colors like orange when there is no access point. A defective LED will not turn on.
