My daughter's leap pad 3’s screen is blue. It started out as the screen flashing when in camera mode. Pressed home button then it went to a blue screen. Pressing the on and off button is not working.

However if you don’t want your child to have access to the internet on the tablet, you can switch off access in the parental controls section of the LeapPad. LeapPad was invented by Jim Marggraff [1] and developed by a team from Explore Technologies, Inc., which was founded by Marggraff and acquired by LeapFrog in July 1998. It uses the same patented "NearTouch" technology developed for the Explore Technologies Odyssey Atlasphere. Investigation and development was started in December 1997. The LeapPad is a computer with electrographic sensor. The sensor works as a capacitor and measures the amount of current flowing through corner electrodes into a plate beneath the table top, and uses that information to triangulate the location of the stylus on the table top. [3] The LeapPad is covered by U.S. patents 5686705 and 5877458.You then choose a name and get playing with your pet. If you have a friend with a LeapPad you can connect your tablets so that the pets can play together, this is a fab feature.

These devices were meant for younger audiences who are not ready for the mainstream LeapPad's titles. Please press and hold the power button and the higher volume button together until you see a LeapFrog System Recovery Screen.
