You can also try flipping EMO upside down as well, take a look at this on different ways to power off EMO. EMO - 5 Different ways to power off EMO
Maybe try this:
Power him off. (maybe by flipping him upside / and ensure he’s powered off ok).
Then once he’s powered off.
Place him back onto the skateboard. Wait until his headphones start flashing, and his screen starts to light up. (but before his eyes appear).
Then quickly place him on the table.
By the time he’s powered up, he should be on the table and ready to walk around. (ready for any sort of commands).
Once he’s on, maybe ask him to DO A POSE / or DANCE … and see what he does / or if he can do it.
Just some simple troubleshooting steps to try.
