Touch screen does not work, can't select name. Tried on off
Switch off the console and switch it back on again holding the ? button down. This takes you into a menu, choose the touch calibration, it will take you into a black screen with a cross in one of the corners, touch this with your pen and then touch all the others as they appear, all corners and the center. Once this has been done it will take you back to the menu screen again. Switch the console off and on again and it should work. :)

My Leapster 2 comes on, shows the name on screen & ask to touch my name w/ the pen; however when I touch the name, nothing happens. It keeps asking to touch a name or "guest".

How do you delete existing profile in Junie B Jones Leapster game
To delete a player profile, go to the player profile screen and press and continue to hold down the following buttons in sequence: Home
A button
Left arrow
Then, touch the X icon that appears at the bottom of the screen and follow audio instructions.
Note: You can only delete a name when all three name slots are filled.

The above procedure only works on LEAPSTER 2.

Directly from Leapster website -

Question How do I delete or change a player name on Leapster™ cartridges? trnsp.gif Answer It is possible to remove a player once you have added three player names to the cartridge. If there is a name on the cartridge that you want to remove, take these steps.

1- Add new players until there are three players on the cartridge.

2- Once you have three players on the cartridge, an "X" will appear below each player's name.

3- Touch the "X", then touch the name of the player you want to delete. Touch "Yes" to delete the name. Then add a new name, or touch OK twice to go back to the sign-in screen without adding a name. Two names will always remain on the cartridge.


This is a design flaw with leapsters games (apparently nobody thought to think that they do get sold secondhand or passed down in families)

Since you havent specified the system -

LEAPSTER ORIGINAL
LEAPSTER 2
LEAPSTER LMAX

Clicking on any of the above will get you the owners manuals in PDF format.

Thanks for using FixYa - if you need more clarification on your question, please reply to me first.
Thank you.
