My grandson's leapster explorer displayed a screen requesting that the unit be connected to the computer. I installed the leapfrog connect and plugged the unit to the computer. The unit was recognized and leapconnect displayed a message that it was tuning up the unit. Upon completion we disconnected and he was able to play his game for a few minutes then the connect screen was displayed again. This time leapconnect would begin and then stop responding. I did a complete uninstall and reinstall using the up to date version of leapfrog connect and still it stops responding. Now the unit is useless and both my grandson and I are not happy. If anyone has a solution please share!

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.

Likely, yes. call leapfrog, and ask. However, most warranties do not cover abuse or accidents. If your grandson did something or dropped it, the warranty will not cover that.
