My sons leapster screen just stopped working we cant click on the name or anything i tried to do the calliber thing by turning the system on and holding down the hint button etc but nothing is working! what can be the problem and how can it be fixed!

How did you try recaibrating? I just fixed my son's Leapster 2 a few minutes ago. I read a couple different recalibration instructions and the one that works for the Leapster 2 is:
1-Hold down the (?) Hint button while turning on the system.
2-Keep holding it down until the Leapster menu shows up
3-Let it go and press the A button
4-Touch each crosshairs x with the pen tip
5-When it goes back to the menu screen, restart the unit

The same thing is happening wit my sons and I just bought it what kan I do???

We have the same problem and our leapster is only 2 days old.Do Touch Screen Calibration,it should help.I do it everytime for my son when he wants to play and it does help...But once u turn leapster off,u'll have to calibrate it again next time...
Just hold down hint button while turning on.When the Leapster menu screen appears,press the A button.Touch each of the crosshairs that appear with the stylus.restart unit. ..That what we do everytime.

1.You can get a full refund 2.you can contact customer service 3.buy another one whith your refund:)

Hi, have you tried to recalibrate the screen as in your instructions?
Make sure you have no game inserted
Press and hold down the 'on' button and 'hint' button (with questionmark on it) at same time until a menu appears on screen
Press A
Now touch all the little crosses with your pen that appear on the screen
switch leapster off and restart
if still not working, repeat above

check your CPU whether it has space behind it for proper working of fanOR put a new ram

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

I just bought the "new" leapster 2 and it loads but it doesn't do anything when touching the screen with the pen.... It asked me to choose my coutry which i did .. took 10 mins then it picked the wrong country.. now i am stuck at putting in my son's name.. again won't do anything..
