I have 3 DS Lites. Within 5 minutes of each other, two of them quit recognizing the came cards. Both still work in PicChat and in Download mode. But nothing seems to work in the card slot. Normally, if you insert a card while the console is on, it will reboot to the welcome screen. It does not do this when a card is inserted. When turned on with a game card inserted, the screen says ''There is not DS Card inserted''. I've blown the slot out with compressed air, but no luck. I find it interesting two of the same machines, purchased at the same time and place, quit working at the same time...

Hi easy solution needs a new cartridge slot
or slot 1 as its non i can rapair this for the cheapest price on the internet if you live in the Uk
£15 returned
I had the same problem as you, and the only way to solve it is to put in the game card, then take it out and blow on the back of the card and in the card slot. You gotta do this, like, 4 or 5 times (did I mention that THAT SUCKS!!!!!!) and then it should recognize the game card. Hope this helps
You
can play multiplayer games with a Nintendo DS Lite even if you don’t
possess a copy of the game. If one of your friends has a multiplayer game card, they can use their Nintendo DS Lite as a host for the game session and you can join the multiplayer game.
jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){
jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); });
});
Things You'll Need:
Nintendo DS Lite
Using One Card to Host the Game
Step 1
Look on the game’s
packaging for the "Multiplayer" icon. If the game requires only one
player to have a copy of the game, the icon will show two DS Lites: a
DS Lite with a black screen transmitting waves to a DS Lite with a
white screen. Below the two DS Lites is a range of numbers which
indicates how many players the game can support.
Step 2
Put the game card in the Nintendo DS Lite that is acting as the host for the multiplayer game session and start it up.
Step 3
Have
the other players turn on their systems. They will use the main menu
screen to access the "DS Download Play" icon. They need to tap the icon
to begin downloading the game information from the host DS Lite.
Step 4
Begin playing when all of the systems have finished downloading the game information from the host.
Multiple Cards for Multiple Players
Step 1
Look
at the "Multiplayer" icon. If every player in the game session needs a
copy of the game in order to play, the icon will show two DS Lites,
both with black screens, transmitting waves toward each other. A range
of numbers is under this graphic and indicates how many people can play
at one time.
Step 2
Read
the game's instruction manual on how to set up the game session. The
steps required vary by company and sometimes by title within the same
company.
if it says no game inserted and theres a game in the slot,
this reallt worked
1 turn the ds off
2 take out the ds game
3 turn on the ds(remeber the game is out of the slot)
4 turn off the ds
5 carefully blow on the ds game all around
6 then blow in the slot were the ds game goes.
7 now put the ds game back into the slot.
8 now finaly trun on the ds and it should say theres a game in the slot
had this problem, i looked into where the game goes and one of the little metal teeth was bent, so i took a long toothpick and gently pushed it back over now it works fine. Be careful that you dont break it off though.
the card slot may be dusty, blow gently into it (making sure no spittle gets in) or get a clean cloth and wipe the outside of it. On no account must the slot get wet, or it will probably get damaged and will not work.
