Leapster gs cartridge games not recognized - Leapster Learning System

Answer This Question
  • Anonymous Oct 19, 2012

    Haven't tried cleaning cartridges yet - at work - but I did also notice all of a sudden ALL cartridges are not recognized, so I suspect it may be the unit. I ran the online "repair" from the leapster web app, that did not do it...I'll let you know what I find. Thanks in advance for any help.

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:

How do you delete existing profile in Junie B Jones Leapster game
To delete a player profile, go to the player profile screen and press and continue to hold down the following buttons in sequence: Home
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.

The above procedure only works on LEAPSTER 2.

Directly from Leapster website -

Question How do I delete or change a player name on Leapster™ cartridges? trnsp.gif 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.


This is a design flaw with leapsters games (apparently nobody thought to think that they do get sold secondhand or passed down in families)

Since you havent specified the system -

LEAPSTER ORIGINAL
LEAPSTER 2
LEAPSTER LMAX

Clicking on any of the above will get you the owners manuals in PDF format.

Thanks for using FixYa - if you need more clarification on your question, please reply to me first.
Thank you.

Take the cartridge out of the Leapster, blow into the opening with your mouth. Do the same with the Leapster (blow into it). Insert the cartridge and see if that works.
