Hi Ryan, will removing the battery delete any of the downloaded apps and saved files?
I’m not Ryan, but I just did this process and the apps and files are all still there.
What is a spudger and where do I get a battery
Hello, if anyone still has this leappad Ultra and wanted to purchase a new battery. I have found a retail store https://batteryclerk.com/ The price is reasonable, and I'm just waiting for the batteries to arrive.
