The batteries went dead and I replaced them with all new batteries and the Leapster still is not working? The games has not been damaged or dropped. We have only used it maybe a couple of times before it stopped working!! Can You please tell me where or how I can get this repaired? Thank you!!

first you have to try to turn off the unit and disconnect all connections.. just leave the unit turn off for an hour (no power). and reinstall again the unit, then switch it ON...

Let me know.

sir, does the old battery and the new battery are the same. it must be the battery got the problem or it might cause your gaming console disfunctioning. buying a new one is more practical than repairing the old one. hope that helps sir!

- ensure also than new batteries are ok, on some device you need to use alkaline batteries.

- about repairing your leapster, a leapster console is now sold at about $17, better buying a new one rather then repairing, you can keep old one as spare parts.
Try first extracting batteries few times to ensure it is faulty.
