I can not sign to the leapster i can see the names but can't pick

You have to make sure that your Cartridges is clean. Try to vacum of blow both of the cartridge hole and also the place where you put the cartridge, Sometime very small tiny dirt will makes that the cartridge cannot be recognise by the console.

Instead of 1 starter game and a few demo game that you get from Leapfrog Connect, you can also get more downloadable games for your Leapster 2. You can get it here:

we are having the same problem! any success with solving it?

I am guessing you have all 3 spots filled and need to delet one. HOLD DOWN in sequence HOME + A + Left Arrow. So you have to hold all 3 buttons and then the X shows up. I was able to then delete the Sign In name I wanted.

WHEN YOU FIRST TURN IT ON,JUST PUT THE NAME YOU WANT IN THERE.









SHERRI

i have leapster2 does not work whenasked to touch the name with pen.

Sorry but no, there is no way to remove a player name from the software. However, right from Leapster's website:
Home (The "Home" button is the first button on the front left side of your Leapster2)
A button
Left arrow
Then, touch the X icon that appears at the bottom of the screen and follow audio instructions.
Note: You can only delete a name when all three name slots are filled.
Works like a charm.

I had the same problem and here is the answer I found at leapfrog.com which fixed my daughter’s disney princess leapster 2’s problem. Good luck!
If your Leapster2 does not respond to the stylus pen, it needs to be calibrated. Calibrating the Leapster2 is easy:
1) Ensure that a cartridge is not inserted
2) Hold down the Hint (?) button while turning the unit on. Continue to hold the Hint button down until the LEAPSTER menu appears.
3) When the LEAPSTER menu screen appears, press the A button
4) Touch each of the crosshairs that appear with the stylus
5) Restart unit

Question How do I delete or change a player name on Leapster™ cartridges? Answer It is possible to remove a player once you have added three player names to the cartridge. If there is a name on the cartridge that you want to remove, take these steps.

1- Add new players until there are three players on the cartridge.

2- Once you have three players on the cartridge, an "X" will appear below each player's name.

3- Touch the "X", then touch the name of the player you want to delete. Touch "Yes" to delete the name. Then add a new name, or touch OK twice to go back to the sign-in screen without adding a name. Two names will always remain on the cartridge.
