Its worth a try they might give you a deal because you have two

i think the anti virus software is blocking the leappad connect software. go to antivirus settings, under firewall rules, select allow for leappad connect the launch it and try again.

my son clean his ultra leap pad with windex what should I do?

my son clean his ultra leappad with windex what can I do to fix it?

call and demand a refund, at first they will offer you 15% off, i have no money to even buy that much so i demanded a refund, i had to deface my old one and send a pic, i am waiting for the new one!

I have the same problem. I have contacted leapfrog support waiting for a response
Soo frustating. Il let you know if my problem gets resolved.

I just had the same exact problem. We followed the leap pad recommendations for cleaning the stylus connection. Then we used a q-tip to clean the cartridge port and blew into it. Now it works.

If it does power up, and you are unable to get only the Go button not to function, there could be 3 problems
1. the cartridge is dirty
2. the sytlus is bad
3. the sensor membrane is wet or bad.

Clean the cartridge or try another book.
Replace the stylus.
Dry out the leap pad (this is a last resort. place the leapPad in a sunny window for a day, standing upright and open (remove batteries).)

If nothing else works, you can find another leapPad at most thrift stores (that works!), for about $5-$25 (any model, but you might not get a lot of model choices, but some even come with books and cartridges you might not have!)
Take a book and a cartridge with you, maybe even batteries, and ask the store if you can try it before you buy it (they will usually let you test it)

Believe it or not, just blowing on the cartridge and inserting it again seems to do the trick with our Leappad.

I took the entire toy back to the store where I purchased it and exchanged it for a new one.
