I just can't open the battery compartment for a BRAND NEW Leapster GS Explorer!! Is this a common defect? Any tricks? It's ridiculous!
To open the battery compartments firmly press down on the arrows with your thumbs and push it out. You should feel the cover unlatching as you firmly press down and out.
Nonsense. I have pretty strong hands and, no matter how hard I pushed/pressed, covers would not budge. You should NOT have to exert this amunt of force when doing such a simple function on a child's toy. It is either a design flaw or a a result of cheap manufacturing processes. Either way, it is junk and is going back tomorrow, still unopened.

I was also in this situation....place your thumbs on each arrow on one side of the device...depress with a good force you will hear a click ....slide it out....hope this helps
need vice grips
Vice grips? You have to be joking. On a child's computerised toy? I have pretty powerful hands and I could not get the get the latches to budge, no matter how hard I pressed/pushed. I ended up giving up in frustration. It simply should not be so difficult to do. Poor design. It is going back to the shop tomorrow.
You have to squeeze the arrows as hard as you can while pushing in the direction of the arrows.

SOURCE: Hello. My daughter's Leapster
Have you tried putting new batteries? If yes and still has no sound then look for the warranty and bring it back to the store where you bought it so they can repair it for free.
SOURCE: There was a problem when
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:
leapster-2.blogspot.com
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.
This will give you the PARENT SETTINGS menu.
You will need to start them from scratch to choose a new pet. It is sad but at current it is the only way to choose a new pet.
