crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

This guide provides steps for replacing the home button in the LeapFrog LeapPad Ultra XDi (model number 33300).

The home button allows you to return to the home screen from apps and other pages on the device. When this part is not working properly you will not be able to return to the home screen using this button or may experience delays. You should first try the home button troubleshooting guide before replacing the entire home button. A new home button is also required for this guide.

Before beginning, make sure to power down the device completely and disconnect it from any power source.
