i hit the reset button at least 20 times and it FINALLY started working. it bothers me that it took that long to kick in, though like you said it could be the batteries. i had just bought them from the dollar store, and them being cheap ones, it might have took a while for the juice to kick in lol
thank you!
and i hope you get one soon! they're lots of fun! i just started playing with it and i'm already glued to it. my music star is getting neglected right now and he's not happy about that haha.
