How to Calibrate a Leapster Screen

Leapfrog's "Leapster" is an educational toy that teaches kids how to spell, solve math problems and read. Because "Leapster" is designed for ages 4-8, your child can get several years use out of it. However, it may need to be re-calibrated from time-to-time over the years. This is necessary if the screen freezes or the console stops working all together. Before you calibrate the "Leapster" screen, make sure the console is turned off.
