The bottom screen flashes an then the green light goes off new top screen is needed very common on ds lite i repair them for a living an can sort yours for about 18 quid Simon Dsdoc
you must have got it wet or mabee it has dust in it or mabee there is some damage inside take to a repair shop close by or the place you got the ds from and tell them your problem thats all i can do
In most cases once electronic devices get wet they usually will not work after. You can try to remove any batteries/power, then set it in a warm, dry place for a few days, maybe even a week or so. Then try it again... No guarentee it will work but I have used this method with cell phones and other handheld devices.
If the green light reacts as you state then the chances are the fuses are fine.
Again, with the reaction of the green light being as you stated i'm going to assume you have a problem with one of your screens, tell me... when the green light comes on does one of the screens flash? If it does then we have found the answer...
The screen that doesnt flash is the one with the problem, you can try taking the DS lite apart and re-connecting the screens ribon to see if that sorts it, if it doesnt then im afraid you will have to buy a new screen. These can befound on ebay for a reasonable price.
I have written some guides on how to change your screens and how to disassemble the DS lite, these will guide youthrough the processes you need to take. These can be found by clicking on my name and then scrolling down to "tips and tricks", press the "view all" to see all of them and find what you need.
Im pretty sure when it gets to the point where it doesn't recognize its own screen is when its time to get a new ds. But if you really want to find out if it can be fixed (and don't mind paying more then its worth) you could to it to electronic shop or best buy to have them look at it.
Try removing the motherboard from the screens and attach the battery the green light should turn on and stay on.
Now attach the lower screen and turn on. If the screen is ok the screen and green light will flash and then turn off. (if the screen doesn't flash the bottom screen is you're problem and will have to be replaced)
If this happens the problem is then you're top screen which you will have to replace.
For GBA games the green light is meant to stay on. The orange light will stay on as long as its recharging. It will turn off when its fully recharged or when you unplug it
You have a defective screen (probably the upper). Replace it with a new one or send it to Nintendo for repair.
Mr. Teacake,
Never...never..put a wet cartridge in the DS Lite. Even when it is left to dry. Water is funnest for avery electronic device. You made for almost 99% certain a short circuit and blown out the microfuse (F1 or F2) on the mainboard. It could be much worse but check F1 & F2 first. See Google for their locations
