Did it come with the batteries installed or seperate? Make sure they work in another device after they charged for 24hrs.

Instead of 1 starter game and a few demo game that you get from Leapfrog Connect, you can also get more downloadable games for your Leapster 2. You can get it here:

But you have to make sure your Leapster 2 have SD Card and your Leapster 2 can connect to PC using Leapfrog connect. Try to uninstall and re-install the LeapFrog Connect and wait until it finish configuring and updated the software both on the PC and the console, It may takes 10-20 mins for it to complete updating.

One more thing, you have to make sure that you get latest LeapFrog Connect software from LeapFrog website instead of installing it from supplied CD.

You need to re-connect your Leapster 2 to your PC. You have to make sure that the software is already updated both in the PC and in the console. Try to uninstall and re-install the LeapFrog Connect and wait until the software has been configured and update automatically which is until you see the status in LeapFrog Connect screen is "connected". You need to wait at least 10-20 mins for it to be completed I'm afraid.

One more thing, make sure you get the latest LeapFrog Connect Software from LeapFrog website instead of installing it from the supplied CD.

BTW, you can get more downloadable games for your Leapster 2 here:

There is no definitive way to check if your battery will hold a charge besides actually using the device itself.

I also had this issue. I had gotten two, one for each child. I took the battery pack from the one that was working and put it on the one that did not. That still did not work. When I put on the original back on it started to work. Maybe the connection was bad? Maybe there is an identifier on battery pack that got reset?

Answer
I had the same problem and here is the answer I found at leapfrog.com which fixed my daughter’s disney princess leapster 2’s problem. Good luck!
If your Leapster2 does not respond to the stylus pen, it needs to be calibrated. Calibrating the Leapster2 is easy:
1) Ensure that a cartridge is not inserted
2) Hold down the Hint (?) button while turning the unit on. Continue to hold the Hint button down until the LEAPSTER menu appears.
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

A cheaper alternative is to use the rechargeable battery pack.
Regular nicad batteries are not equipped to handle electronics like this.
