The touch screen on my kids leapster has just stopped working, you hear a click when the screen is touched but nothing happens. any idea's?
An easy fix....
Press the ? button and hold it while turning unit on.
Press the "a" button to select touch calibration
Press each + with the stylus
Restart machine
Le voila!
Came within inches of tossing it. This worked great. Thanks!
Never knew about this, thanks.
Tore the last one up thinking the touch screen was bad. Decided to read on this one. I wonder why it looses its calibration? Still would think that the screen would respond?
that is awesome worked in first go
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I was also about to throw it away.
It worked great!! My kids are super excited! Thanks again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My poor kids have been without their leapster for almost 2 years because the screen wasn't working. I was just about to toss them and decided to look up if there was a way to fix it. Both screens went out after only a few months of use. YAY!!!!

1) Ensure that a cartridge is not inserted 2) Hold down the Hint button while turning the unit on 3) When the LEAPSTER menu screen appears, press the A button 4) Touch each of the crosshairs that appear with the stylus 5) Restart unit

Thank you so much. My son was so upset that his leapster wouldn't work. Your instructions worked like a charm.
Restarting the leapster2 and calibrating the touch screen worked like a CHAMP!!! My 4 year old thanks you much!!!
Thank you so much

Thanks you!
WOWWEE! THIS WORKED! I WAS SO UPSET THAT WE COULDN'T USE THIS ON OUR TRIP OVER THANKSGIVING, BUT AT LEAST IT'S WORKING NOW! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH
Leapster L-Max recalibrates differently. I was trying to use the instructions and it kept asking for a blue button. For the Leapster L-Max push B, A, Hint, and Home when you turn it on. Do not have a cartridge in the player or it will think it is a regular Leapster. Once it says calibrate screen it will say to press A, then wait until a target appears in the upper left hand corner, touch it and you should hear a sound, then a new target appears in the lower left hand, repeat actions, then lower right hand screen, and finally the upper right hand screen. If it stops at any time and doesn't get more arrows, try it again or turn it off and see if the pen works. It may take several times to get it working again.

The Leapster turns on and the sign in screen comes up but the touch screen does not work. I also can't get the touch screen to recalibrate by pressing the small blue button, hint, and pause button simultaneously - the game just pauses.
the touch screen on my childs leapster is not working the sign in screen comes up but you cant sign in i tried to re calibrate it by fallowing the directions the first step that comes up is for you to touch the target in the middle of the screen but there isnt a target i called leap frog but no help there she really wants to play her game any ideas?
i have the same problem.. but i haven't call them yet...
I have the same issue with my son's Leapster. I even ordered a NEW stylus.....was told that was what the problem was. NOT!!!! We also have a LMAX and the Leapster stylus works on the LMAX as well as the NEW stylus. Now we have 3 stylus and NONE of them work on the Leapster! I tried to recalibrate it but since the touch screen will NOT work I am unable to calibrate it!
Any other ideas?
My daughter's Leapster 2 has the same problem. I have tried recalibrating it but it does not accept me touching the top left cross stitch target. I restarted it...same problem. The menu for the name comes up and makes a clicking sound when you touch the screen. I just put new batteries in. We are going on vacation soon and need this fixed!
You are AWESOME!!! My poor kids haven't been able to play with their leapsters in over a year and I almost just tossed them because both of their screens went out a while ago (after less than a year of use). It worked!!!! YAY!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
