    Hi,
    Picked up an early run GB Pro and having issues with Slimer. Tried a few things but ultimately decided to replace him based on an email to Stern support. I picked up the highlighted parts in Slimer diagram below.
    In order to replace the actual Slimer toy, do I just cut the cable going in to him? Seems like the switch is the actual ring/hole that it goes thru. And for the new Slimer, does he just sit as is in the new housing or is something supposed to be connected to that piece at the top of his cable?
    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I was able to get it connected and figure I'd document in case someone else has the same question. All that I had to do was open the heat shrink tubing and it was pretty obvious. The cable on the old Slimer went to the blue connector below. All you need do is remove it and plug the red end into the top of the new slimer.
