How to Repair a LeapFrog LeapPad
The LeapFrog LeapPad is a portable educational learning system that uses an attached pen, which works much like a mouse pointer. The LeapPad is used with interactive books that the device reads aloud. Alternately, children can use the pen to point to words or pictures, in order to hear pronunciations or sound effects. If your LeapPad system is making strange noises, or does not power on, respond, or function properly, LeapFrog suggests several steps you can take to identify and correct the problem.
