Our 3 year old leapster won't turn on. We tried the suggestion of holding down the power button for a few seconds already. We changed the batteries using both rechargable and regular batteries. It shut off while our son was trying to play a new game. Is there a button we are missing to try? Any suggestions?
Call Leapster they have replaced a few for my family and have been VERY easy to deal with. NO charge or anything.
What ever i say you do try like so is it off if it is thats good because it need to be off if it has screws undo the screws and lookaround in theleapfrog leapster if you see a wire broke out the socket this is a sign someone has been inside it and took it out its socket before they put it on their stool. When did your son last went on it?To answer me email at [email protected]

Us Too......we've had ours for 6 months and today my daughter was trying to play a game and it just turned off. Now, no power! Yep, tried the 3 second power thing. I might just call Leapster and see what they say; can't hurt.
My Son's L-Max Leapster has just died a sudden death. Looking at this website it seem's an inherant fault. We have tried changing batteries and also swopping battery holder with my daughter's, but still nothing. I have e-mailed Leapfrog and I am awaiting a reply. I am definately not going to buy a new one as it seems this could happen again!!!
My son was playing his leapster and in suddenly shut off without cause. It hasn't been dropped or misused. I have taken the back off of it and nothing seems to be out of place. Has there been a recall or anything leapfrog has for this product. We liked the product and what it was doing but are dissapointed that it has broken in less than 5 months.
I bought two Leapsters last Xmas and one of them just won't turn on. My son barely used it the past 4 months, and he is ALWAYS careful with it.
I tried new batteries and even bought an AC adapter....it just won't turn on.
Anyone with a solution??? Leap Frog, please post an answer...as it seems to be a recurring problem.
My Daughters won't turn on as well. These are pieces of junk!!!!!!
I know my daughter hasnt been on it for a while it has been a couple months too. What can I do?
5 month old leapster. Stopped responding to stylus, then just will not turn on at all. Never mishandled in any fashion. Piece of junk
I have the same problem! We have a leapster and a Leapster L-Max and neither one will work anymore. They have not been dropped or mishandled. I emailed to Leapfrog- hopefully they will have a solution. My kids want to use them but I don't want to have to buy new ones when they already have 2!
Same problem. Worked for a month, now won't turn on. Target won't exchange it since it was bought 2 months before Christmas while on sale and is now out of warranty.
