You have to make sure it is compatible. There are different types of Leapsters. Leapster 1 and 2, Leapster GS, Leapster Explorer and Leappad. Take it back to the store they may give you a refund or store credit.

Hi. I found these instructions for turning your Leapster Leapfrog Explorer on here:
http://www.ehow.com/how_7707353_leap-frog-leapster-wont-turn.html

you must restart your pc and reconnect it.

hold down the question mark key, while still holding the question mark key turn on the leapster explorer. it will bring you to calibration screen, Calibrate and you should be ok

1) Please run the LeapFrog Utility http://lfccontent.leapfrog.com/cs/utilities/LeapFrog_Connect_Utility.exe
2) Select "Clear LeapFrog Connect User Data"
3) Start the LeapFrog Connect application and wait until the message center indicates that all Leapster Explorer Updates have been downloaded.
4) Power on and plug in your Leapster Explorer.

I had the same exact problem. I even tried another camera with no luck. I ended up updating the firmware/software on the Leapster Explorer and the camera started working. Here is a link to the Leapster website showing you how this is done:

Hello,
there are three basic reasons why the leapster explorer won't bring out sound.
1. Defective speaker
The speaker of your leapster explorer maybe defective, this can make it not bring out any sound. Disassemble the leapster explorer, check the speaker part, test the speaker with a AA battery. If you hear any sound using the battery, then it means there is nothing wrong with the speaker.
2. Loose wire connection
Disassemble the leapster explorer, check the wires connecting the speaker to the board. Check for any wire cut, or loose connection which can cause the speaker not to bring out sound. . 3. Sound IC/Card/Board
If non of the above is the cause of the problem, then it means the leapster explorer is having a defective sound ic/board/card. There is an IC on the board of the leapster explorer which is responsible for sound. If this ic has a shot, there won't be any sound. If this be the cause, I think it's high time to took the leapster explorer to a repairman because this requires skill.
I hope the above is clear. If not, please let me know for further assistance.
Regards.

It is tcalled the leapster Recharging station.

eBay is the best way IMO.
