Leap frog tag pen won't work any longer.

My daughter loved her leap frog tag pen & system until it wouldn't work any longer. Fresh batteries, several books downloaded. It turns on, makes its little "musical sound, but does nothing any longer when we try to use it.

I found that after replacing the batteries, the power button on the reader did not work. I did however have luck after I connected the Reader/Pen to the laptop, updated the s/w on the reader and updated the s/w on the laptop. Then the reader was able to interact with one of the books just fine.

My daughter's pen stopped working this week. I tried plugging it in to the computer, and new batteries. This did not work. What did work perfectly was opening the device up to expose the lens and simply cleaning it. Toward the end there is a infrared bulb and (receiver) behind this lens. If this is dirty it will stop responding to the books. Hope this helps you as mine works perfectly now.

I also have this problem! Not sure exactly how to open to clean the light. I don't see the light shining when the tip is pressed either. My son has only used his tag pen for maybe a month or so before it messed up! And it was an expensive Christmas gift!

My daughter's Leap Frog Tag reader pen will simply not turn on. I bought new batteries nd tried them all. What should I try?!

Hello I will try to help you. If the pen was working up until the batteries died then the problem logically would be solved by putting in new batteries. That said, remove the "new" batteries and install them in another device to be sure that they are good. Some new batteries die in the package before being used.

Then make sure you are putting the batteries in correctly, pay attention to the + and -.

Finally, you can clean the ends of the battery chamber by using a pencil eraser and rubbing it on the metal contacts.

Let me know if one of these things fixes your problem as I have additional ideas.

Broken Leap Frog Leapster Learning Game System

I purchased a Leapfrog Leapster in end of June sales last year for my daughter's birthday in October 2008. When she first turned it on it froze but after restarting played fine for 2 hrs then died and refused to work again. Fortunately I had kept my receipt (Target) but was still worried about it having been 4 months prior. They ended up giving me a store credit as they no more in stock at that store and I picked one up from another Target without having to pay the difference between my original sale price. I know you don't have the receipt but you could contact the place of purchase and ask them even if they are able to send off for repairs or put you in contact with the right people. Hope it helps a little ...
