How to Fix a Vtech Vsmile

V.Smile is an educational video game system that invites children to learn through play. The setup is minimal with little or no maintenance. Occasional air-dusting of the ports and games will help prolong the life of the unit.

V.Smile is connected through the audio visual (AV) jacks on the side or back of your television. Problems with the V.Smile unit can be separated into two categories: getting power to the unit and issues with the game not displaying correctly.
