Leapster 2 help: What is going on???

We just had the same problem. After going online to leapster's site we tried recalibrating the stylus to the screen and that solved our problem. The procedure is located at: http://leapfrog.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/leapfrog.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1736

It only works with Leapster Explorer and up per the game. So, if it's not at least the explorer version, then it will not work with it. It's the thin chip that goes in the new versions.

I just wanted to correct this. Leapster TV does offer a 2nd controller. I'm doing my homework on Leapster TV and Vsmile and I found out that Leapster TV does have a 2nd controller. You have to look at the games before you buy them to ensure the game is two player though

We haven't opened ours yet. But I think if you go to LeapFrog . Com they will have the answer for you there.

We haven't tested it out yet, it's for Christmas. But other games we bought in the past that said "(works with LeapPad Tablets, LeapsterGS, and Leapster Explorer)" have worked in the LeapPad 2. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

We didn't get the version that's in the picture, but we got a leapfrog leaptop a year ago and we didn't have that problem with it! I'm sure you have looked, but just incase you haven't..is there a brightness button or switch?

You need one of this item for it to work. Each of the two cylinders is the length of 2 AA batteries. And I may add that this was the best accessory ever for the leappad 2, which you probably know eats regular batteries like a monster. I hope this helps :)

Always check the picture. Lower right of box will have what device it works with. All we have are Leapster GS. Some item descriptions will list stuff that they do not work with.

we own the original leapster but from any knowledge that ive had I am about 90% sure they made the leapster two so it can still play all the old games. but a leap pad and leapster are two different components all together so a leapster2 yes a leap pad im gonna say no.

Hi, My daughter has the Leapster 2. It has one game installed and there is also a "paint" option, kind of like Windows "draw." She rarely played with those features, but they're not bad features. The game has dragons and you have to chase letters or something like that. If I'm not mistaken you can also download a game or two from the site. Just the same, I would definitely consider getting your niece a game to go with it -- Leapfrog.com was having a sale, maybe still is, which made many of the cartridges very affordable. My daughter loved Digging for Dinosaurs, Wall-e, the Backyardigans, and Finding Nemo in particular. She got the Disney Princess game but only played with it once. It looked like a real stinker. If cost is a consideration (as it is for me) maybe just let her parents know that you got her a Leapster 2 so they can plan on getting her a game or two. And how nice of you to get her such a lovely gift! It is a truly educational tool and was a huge hit in my house.

...and which games work in TV mode and which ones don't. I have sent a message to Leapster themselves several days ago but am still awaiting a reply.

I thought my daughter broke a piece of cartridge off in her Lepaster2 but it turns out she didn't, every cartridge on the inside has a gap in the metal strip that fits inside the Leapster2 slot. So it looks something like this ___ _______ So if your's has a gap in it like the line I drew above, then you didn't break the cartridge.

Hi,Well I have been trying to buy one of these for like 2 months now. It was always sold out everywhere. Finally at Target the manager told me that Leap Frog had stopped sending them out to retailers and also recalled the ones they had in stock. Mainly because they found a problem with the leap pads, some sort of glitch. I called Leap frog and they still don't know when they will be out and fixed. This is probably why you still have not received your new one. Hope you do... Take cae!

I called Leapster with that question and they do not rec rechargeable batteries b/c they aren't as strong as reg batteries even when they are new and thus the game may not work properly. Logically though, I'm wondering the diff. in the batt pack and rech batteries. Hope this helps.

I did post a fix for this that has helped many until leap frog gets around to it. I am a parent that has one of these and was not seeing any progress with a fix from leap frog so I took matters into my own hands. I posted my fix here http://jdrwebnow.net/leapster2_fix.html.

I do not know either - I thought it was specifically for the leap pad system. It was a gift - so I do not have access to it. Sorry - good luck.
