I soon spotted the light sensor. So after playing with rapidly opening and closing the paper such that it went "Oy Oy Oy Oy..." to Radha's irritation, I stuck a bit of oatmeal on it and shut it up. When this got scraped off as we rose from breakfast, I ripped it off the page and just folded it in two. It shut up permanently and I could trash it. Battery and all. So I tore the tag of my mattress, call the FBI, like Portnoy said!vbalkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16190962127952161679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007509643610309350.post-60395423062386705172010-09-23T22:41:24.907+05:302010-09-23T22:41:24.907+05:30Yes, indeed now that you say so I see a small sens...Yes, indeed now that you say so I see a small sensor with some wave like pattern printed on it.

So to read in silence, put the paper flat on the table, don't hold it up in your hands. <br /><br />OK, so I didn't try dark room and torch. Should, for completeness.<br /><br />We had a cup that had the light sensor in its base. When you lifted the cup off the table and tilted it slightly to drink, it started singing Happy Birthday to You. We took to holding a palm underneath the base while drinking out of it.Meenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370241251541994963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007509643610309350.post-26701302850847178002010-09-21T13:50:14.895+05:302010-09-21T13:50:14.895+05:30More info here -

So I suspect yours is a defective one. <br /><br />Typically when you open the paper it plays and when you fold it, it stops (sometimes it doesn't !) After I peeled it off, I found it even more difficult to stop it -- however putting it on a flat surface usually stops it so it probably has some sensor for this.Rahul Basuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751088048215388592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007509643610309350.post-1295754931268254732010-09-21T10:33:19.289+05:302010-09-21T10:33:19.289+05:30Hi Rahul, I also got that but mine is not playing....Hi Rahul, I also got that but mine is not playing.
