Replaced batteries in it, globe responds, but pen doesn't seem to work.
Ok, last night I was doing some research on my daughters leapster, its not a quantum leap, but maybe can be fixed the same way. I found out that you can "recalibrate" the machine. I used the instructions for the leapster, but here is what they said about the Quantum:
Turn the power on. Wait until you see the "Home" screen.
Find the small hole in the back of your Pixter unit above the battery compartment door. That’s the calibration hole.
Insert,
push and hold the stylus in the calibration hole. Turn Pixter over so
that you can see the screen. When you see two plus signs, remove the
stylus from the calibration hole.
First touch the plus sign in the upper left corner with the tip of the stylus.
Then touch the plus sign in the lower right corner with the tip of the stylus.
GOOD LUCK, HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU, I ALMOST THREW MINE OUT TOO AND NOW IT WORKS.

Just wondering if I should toss this, or if it i worth repairing. I'd hate to have to buy a new one. My 6 and 2 year old love this thing.
I have a quantum leap frog globe, not a video game. no screen, no calibration. Thanks for offering help, though.
It's a Quantum Leap GLOBE, not an electronic book, as the product listed shows. don't know how to list it as such, The globe pen doesn't even register when touched (or slammed) against the globe. Just not responding at all.
I have the same problem. The batteries work because the globe is talking, however the pen does not seem to register a response.
