1Put the screwdriver into the screw hole in the small panel on the back of the Leapster. Remove the screw, and open the panel.
2
Remove the batteries from the Leapster and discard them. Find the small "reset" button behind the panel cover. The reset button should be black or red
3
Press the reset button with the pointed object. Hold the button down for about three to five seconds.
4
Put fresh batteries into the battery chamber. Make sure the flat side of each battery connects with the springs in each battery channel. Screw the panel cover back into place.
5
Press the Leapster's "on/off" button. When the Leapster comes on, enter the country information and the player's name.
6
Press the "hint" button, which opens a pop-up help menu. Press the "A" button. Use the stylus to touch the center of the small crosshairs on the screen to calibrate the touch screen.
Reset the Leapster pushing the small black button that says "Reset" which is located behind the batteries in the battery compartment. Once your Leapster has been reset, you should be directed to the first-time screen, where you can set your country/region and enter the player names.
You have to make sure it is compatible. There are different types of Leapsters. Leapster 1 and 2, Leapster GS, Leapster Explorer and Leappad. Take it back to the store they may give you a refund or store credit.
I found out how to re-calibrate it. By holding down the 'hint' button while turning it on then choosing the 'touch calib' option...you then have to touch the bullseyes on the screen. Turn it off and back on again and it should work.
