I need help with a Disney pin.

[FanofMick]

My niece and nephews received light up Fantasmic pins for Christmas; however, they don't light up. Any tips for what I need to do? Do they have replaceable batteries? I'm clueless.
Thanks for any input.

They should have button batteries in the back. I have a Main Street Electrical Parade pin that doesn't light up anymore and it has a button battery on it.

Good luck!

Check the battery to make sure it is making proper contact. If, and I say if, I remember correctly, they had some sort of tab that had to be removed to make the proper contact first. Otherwise, it just takes a small replaceable electronics battery.

What type of pin was it? If it is a pin of a regular size, some do blink, and as far as I know, have non replaceable batteries. Although someone diligient and handy may be able to do it. But they are not generally made to have batteries replaced.
The big honkin' thick pins that blink and interact within the parks come with batteries, and obviously are made to be replaced.
Hate to say it. They probably are old ones that were sold cheap because the batteries were dead. Can't say for sure without knowing the exact pins.
I am a Fantasmic pin collector too. I probably have the same pin.
Good luck.

Thanks, it is the pin with mickey in his sorcerer's hat and fireworks over the word Fantasmic.

That's what I thought. According to Pinpics this was released February 20, 2002.
If you have someone handy, they may want to give it a try to change the batteries and reassemble. But this pin was made with non-replaceable batteries.
Originally it sold for $15.
