DS won't turn on, green light on/black screen

It is probably because something hard hit your ds, or it fell on the floor This causes the game generator to get jammed. It will turn on, but nothing will hapen. Get it repaired or get a new one. P.S.- For future reference, put a hard ds cover on your ds so this wont happen again. But something called the Ds Y is coming out soon, so you can wait until that comes out. It is even newer than the ds or the dsi.

possibly, the battery went bad after overcharging...but is that supposed to be charging automatically? have the battery checked

Maybe the cables from the chipset to the screens have come loose??

hey jstephe4 i had the same problem with my ds. try bending the screen forward and back or hit it lightly

i guess you will have to buy a new one cause i will not know

The alarm is just a coincidence i suspect, green light comes on and stays on probably not the battery at fault. It would be red.
If the green light goes out and screens just flash one of your screens are at fault or a loose ribbon connection.

Hey,

Either 2 things. Your Wireless Wifi Board has gone bad or it has fallen off.


Open up your nintendo DS and look for the black wire connected to a small board. You will know because there are only 2 wires running in the DS. A white one (microphone) A black one (wifi)

This WIFI board (if gone bad) causes the DS to cut on, but get no video at all.

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

Ditto... except my daughter is 10. Both screens remain black, are fully charged and green light stays on for more than 4 minutes.

things like that happen if you drop it,have you dropped it before?
