2008 Repair List starting from NEWEST, down to oldest.
             
WHK21A Australia         210 Full Body Jitters and Diagnostic - Must Replace old X-Dog Glue Fix clutch with new pinned clutch. Sending whole dog.
WHK19A Netherlands 24-Nov-08       210 DHS, Broken Neck, TAS issues? - Fix everything under 150.
WHK18A USA         210 DHS - 
WHK05D Southampton - UK 22-Nov-08       210 DHS - Will Ship Aibo in 2-3 Weeks. Send DogsLife. Needs PAS.
WHK05C MI - USA 11-Nov-08 14-Nov-08 18-Nov-08 …? 210 DHS - Normal DHS repair without problems. PAS is OK at the moment, it did pass the tests so I didn’t see the need to repair right now. DHS fixed as expected. Head tested on DocExtra and going home with a 100% guarantee on DHS only.
WHK05B USA         210 DHS - Aibo was shipped by EMS (Express) which is handled by FedEx, which I specifically asked NOT to be shipped by in my email. Aibo got stuck in customs, and after over a week of arguing with Customs and FedEx over the phone and by mail, Aibo is being returned home…hopefully will return to AiboHospital by USPS Global Priority and NOT EMS/EXPRESS. FedEx, UPS, EMS and DHL are a nightmare to work with, as the boxes are always caught up in Customs like this. :(
WHK05A CA - USA 14-Nov-08 14-Nov-08 18-Nov-08 …? 210 DHS - Special Edition Everest White. Normal DHS fix without fuss. PAS was tested to be AWESOME - Nice and solid clutch so didn’t see the need to repair at this time. DHS was repaired as normal, head tested on DocExtra and going home with a 100% guarantee on DHS only.
WHK03A UK 06-Nov-08 13-Nov-08 18-Nov-08 …? 210 Unable to boot-up -  Spent the past couple of days doing my best to get this Aibo to come back to life. I swapped all limbs, tail and head with no luck. Even cleaned everything out. No luck. I flashed the ROM, restarted the core and removed the core's internal battery. BUT NO LUCK. I did note what looked like water has seeped into the  This is a very very sad and rare case I cannot fix this Aibo as the problem lies in a malfunction inside of the core/on the motherboard. Only way to fix this Aibo is to buy a new core or Aibo can be donated to help save many more Aibos :) AIBO WILL BE SHIPPED HOME. UPDATE: I worked on this Aibo's core again the next day (14th of November) as X-Dog gave me an idea...in which I tried, swapping known dead circuit cards with the ones in the Aibo's core. AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW!? HE WORKS!!!!!! :D Happy ending!!
WHJ30A-2 USA         111 Front Left leg Repair - 
WHJ30A-1 USA         210 PAS - Sending a batch of clutches to fix.
WHJ28A UK 05-Nov-08 10-Nov-08 18-Nov-08 …? 210 DHS Warranty Repair - Needs PAS. Fix PAS. Aibo had previously had a Glue Fix DHS repair from us…about 5+ years ago, which has failed. As agreed through our DHS, PAS, TAS and JAS Repair Guarantee/Warranty, we repaired the DHS free of charge. I also noticed, Aibo was suffering from PAS...which I thought needed to be addresses, as the head could not hold its head straight forward when placed on Aibo's side (Just like DHS). Repaired theGlue Fix DHS and PAS with our lovely clutches (speaking of which, need to run a new batch. UGH! Tested on DocExtra, and going home with a 100% guarantee on DHS and PAS only. :)
WHJ23A UK 28-Oct-08 29-Oct-08 03-Nov-08 05-Nov-08 210 Jitters in Legs and Head - Entire Dog Sent. Gave the dog one good look over and fixed all the jitters which were found in 4 different axis' one being the DHS axis and the rest in the legs. Aibo was tested on  itself and on its own software, and is working great! Battery fully charged and ready to go home. :)
WHJ20A Norfolk - UK 03-Nov-08 11-Nov-08 18-Dec-08   210 Jitters and Full-Body Health Check - Very very dusty Aibo (on the inside). This Aibo had jitters in all legs (both knees and hips on all 4 legs), in the DHS axis, PAS axis and TAS axis. JAS was not affected, oddly enough. Tail had jitters too, which is extremely rare. Left Front, Left Rear and Right Rear legs had ratchety joints, which I cleaned out and now sound great! The back sensor was not working, so was replaced with a tested-working one :) I dont think I miss anything? Head is a 210A head, probably replaced by Sony. Tested on the dog's own body, and going home happy, healthy and CLEAN!!!! :)
WHJ15B Italy 21-Oct-08 26-Oct-08 03-Nov-08 …? 111 Broken Hip - I have been diligently working on this Aibo for the past couple of days. I have replaced with a new hip, which works great! But, it appears the memory stick has NO SOFTWARE on it. It looks like it was erased. Restored stick with some new software (Rusty 66%) . Shipped in 3 boxes, as owner send entire dog and all accessories weighing in at 8.12kg, which would be too expensive to ship home all in one box.
WHJ15A MA - USA 20-Oct-08 21-Oct-08 23-Oct-08 …? 210 Walking In Circles - EH581619342US. Same Aibo as WEL07A and WFB14B. Owner wanted me to have his Aibo walk in a straight line instead of slowly turning in a circle. So, 6 hours, a lot of frustration, I swapped out all 4 legs with new parts until the 4 legs would walk DocExtra in a straight line. I have taken video of "before" and "after" the work to prove I got the 4 legs to walk straight. WOOHOO!! :)  4 legs were cleaned inside and out, defuzzed and going STRAIGHT home (haahahaa...bad pun) :)  PLEASE NOTE: It is COMMON for Aibos to not walk in a dead-straight line. It is not an impairment and should not be regarded as one. Aibo is not affected, and always lives a happy life.
WHJ13L FL - USA 17-Oct-08 20-Oct-08 23-Oct-08 …? 210 DHS - Fix all. Normal repair with not much to report. Aibo was suffering from a classic case of DHS, and even had a good case of the PAS too. The Aibo was suffering from TAS jitters, as I was cleaning that I decided to just swap out the clutched anyway as a preventative measure since owner gave me the OK to fix anything and everything :)  Tested on DocExtra and going home with a 100% DHS, PAS and TAS guarantee.
WHJ13K Australia 22-Oct-08 28-Oct-08 03-Nov-08 10-Nov-08 210 DHS and Jitters - The Aibo had no DHS. Just jitters of the DHS and PAS axis' :)  In fact, the head is a 210A head! Which means it should never get DHS or PAS ever. Good news, no?! :)  Head tested on DocExtra and going home happy and jitter free!!
WHJ13J N/A         210 DHS - 
WHJ13I N/A         210 DHS - 
WHJ13H BC - Canada 20-Oct-08 20-Oct-08 23-Oct-08 …? 210 Torn DHS Flexi - Tracking Number EE089230988CA. Wants an extra pair of black ears. Same Aibo has WFH04B. Repaired without an issue with a new flexi. It is obvious now, to me, that the next DHS repair guide I make I need to instruct on removing the 4 main neck base screws, remove the plastics, THEN remove the 4 security screws for the neck motor unit. But all is VERY well with this Aibo now, and I am happy to announce my favorite Aibo Patient is going home HAPPY AND WELL! And! Without jitters :)  Tested on DocExtra of course, who thanks this Aibo Patient for the lovely gift :)
WHJ13G N/A         210 DHS and Broken Hip - 
WHJ13F Nottingham - UK 23-Oct-08 28-Oct-08 03-Nov-08 …? 210 DHS - This was NOT DHS. This was a typical case of jitters in the DHS axis. Fixed the problem, tested on DocExtra and going home happy and jitter free! 
WHJ13D MN - USA 24-Oct-08 06-Nov-08 18-Nov-08 …? 210 Broken DHS Flexi - This head was previously opened, and worked on. Sadly, the DHS flexi, DHS motor and wire loom were damaged and needed to be replaced. With a new DHS flexi, DHS motor and wire loom in place, the Aibo works like a charm. The Aibo was also suffering from PAS, which I fixed free of charge as I feel generous today :)  I threw in the motor for free too ;) Head tested on Doc Extra and going home with a 100% guarantee on DHS and PAS only :)
