Leapster 2 has no sound

We just bought the Leapster 2 for our daughter 2 months ago. The sound started to sound kind of fuzzy and now it just doesn't work at all. She hasn't dropped it that I know of.

    Less than a week old and the sound is not working now.

We got our daughter a Leapster2 for Chrstmas 08. One day the sound just stopped working. Called Leapfrog. They said to insert a cartridge, and turn the unit on. Plug headphones into the headphone jack. Then rotate the headphone plug-in 360 degrees,( It is easier to hold the heaphone plug-in and rotate the leapster2). Unplug the headphones and check to see if the sound works. Leapfrog said try it more than once, and if it does not work contact them,1-800-701-5327. We tried it and Hallelujah it worked!

We had the same problem - Leapster 2 (Cars Special Edition) with no sound. My son's only had it since Jan 2009 and the sound stopped working a couple of weeks ago (March 2009). Everything else was fine with it. We actually heard it get fuzzy and then the sound cut out altogether.

I replaced the batteries, still no sound. I emailed Leap Frog, who suggested a "trick" of inserting headphones into the jack, rotating the plug 360, and trying that a few times. But that was not successful.

Leap Frog, in turn, issued me an RMA to return the defective Leapster2 to them (at my cost) and are sending me a replacement to me at no cost. If it's not working still, you should contact them via email asap via their website www.leapfrog.com.

Hello. My daughter's Leapster 2 sound has stopped working. She has only had it brand new since Christmas. Can it be fixed?

Have you tried putting new batteries? If yes and still has no sound then look for the warranty and bring it back to the store where you bought it so they can repair it for free.

My daughter has a Leapster 2 that is only about 2 months old and the touch screen does not work

Answer
I had the same problem and here is the answer I found at leapfrog.com which fixed my daughter’s disney princess leapster 2’s problem. Good luck!
If your Leapster2 does not respond to the stylus pen, it needs to be calibrated. Calibrating the Leapster2 is easy:
1) Ensure that a cartridge is not inserted
2) Hold down the Hint (?) button while turning the unit on. Continue to hold the Hint button down until the LEAPSTER menu appears.
3) When the LEAPSTER menu screen appears, press the A button
4) Touch each of the crosshairs that appear with the stylus
5) Restart unit

Leapster 2 unit turns on, warning msg re. seizures and flashing lights stays for a few seconds then shuts off. Has new batteries. my daughter has the same problem with hers it turns on and brings up an...

We have 3 Leapsters. The old green model and 2 newer models. Our green one started doing that not long after having it. But it still works and if it shuts off, then we just turn it back on again. When I called up c/s for Leapster, they sort of make it difficult to return. And then I was not promised a new one, but it could be new or refurbished. I let it go. Now w/ the 2 new models, I believe this has happened. I've questioned if my kid's are accidentally hitting the power button. I have seen the green one power off before. I purchased the $10 plug in's. So worth it. No more batteries. And we haven't had any issues. So perhaps it is the batteries. Call up Leapster though and see what they have to say. Good luck! :)

Leapster screen not working

Apparantly, the Leapster screen issue is a common problem. While this suggestion is not ethical and since my game was near perfect condition, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a new one of the same color and then returned the broken one.
