Hi i would like to know how i can get the gray pointy part of our v smile cyper pocket pen. I have the pen attached to it but i need the pointy part. please reply

On the back of routers there is usually a button to reset the box. Find that. Typically you will need a pen or something pointy like that to reach the button.

get a needle, heat it and meld a hole in the covers (round inserts) on the back. skrew a little skrew in the hole and pol de round thing out. Take a kros skrewdriver and remove the skrews. Also under the battery cover are 2. take of the cover and you can see the inside of the unit. Dry them, also the plastic contacts on de prints.

This is an adobe reader PDF manual for the Vsmile

Hi i'm Ryan, my daughters did the same thing, I removed the battery cover and there is a small pin hole with a reset button in it, try resetting it. I did and it came back on and works fine.

All you need are 4 AA battery of anykind. Open the back cover, remove the Vtech rechargable battery pack and insert 4 AA batteries in its place. Now your child will enjoy there Vsmile again.

Sounds like the contacts on the games need to be cleaned. On the game cartridge, push back the little cover and clean the gold colored contacts on both sides. I use a cotton ball or q-tip with alcohol on it. Let it dry before you put it back in the v.smile.

Get an adult male to check jack and see if something was jammed inside, next open it up with screwdriver to see if anything is loose or contact manufacturer since warranty is usually a yr.

Do you still have your receipt? You could try to echange it at the store. Vsmile is coming out with a newer slightly different handheld model you could try. Though, we have a vsmile for the home and a leapster as a handheld game. Which both of my children have loved. Have you tried calling Vtech about the problem? I've had to call before about the home unit and they were very helpful. (Incedently, I have had problems with that, so if you ever do here's a helpful tip: Reset the machine by unplugging EVERY cord and pressing the two front buttons together for one full timed minute! We were having problems with a power issue and this solved it) They may be just as helpful as Leapster's Leap Frog company and send you a replacement! Once on a long car trip my daughter got sick in the car, while playing, so needless to say the game system got it too. And when I called Vtech about what to do, they sent a replacement! Try calling Vtech and see. You never know! Good luck!! :)

sounds like you need those lithium battery's . ask for them at wal-mart in electronics or at radio shack .

Yea, I'm guessing this is not a do it yourself'r kinda project. As for taking camera stuff apart it requires tiny screw drivers. Sometimes small pointy pen/pocket knife blades work. But you're more than likely going to strip the heads out. Over the eons, I have taken some cameras apart, but confess that I've never put them back together again.
