Have installed new batteries, but unit continues to turn on and shut off as soon as the warning on flashes comes up.

Our leapster 2 would not work past the 'Important message' screen. My husband made sure that the DS card was removed first, then instead of turning the unit over and putting the battery pack in then doing the screw up, he actually did it in reverse. He put the leapster unit onto the battery pack. It seems that the batteries slightly move when you turn the unit upside down.

Use regular batteries not rechargeable ones
1) Ensure that a game cartridge is not inserted in the Leapster2
2) Hold down the Hint (?) button while turning
the unit on. Continue to hold the Hint button down until the LEAPSTER2
menu appears. Remember that you need to hold the "Hint" button down the
whole time while you are pressing the power button, and releasing it.
3) The LEAPSTER2 menu will show the options
Base Info, Cart1 Info, Cart2 Info, Cart3 Info, and Touch Calib. If you
do not see this menu after powering on the Leapster2, turn the Leapster2
off and repeat steps 1 & 2 until you see the menu.
4) When the LEAPSTER2 menu screen appears, press the A button on your handheld.
5) Using the stylus pen, touch each of the crosshairs that appear
6) Restart unit
