This could be two things first try a new battery.You can get on ebay for $2 dollars.If that doesn't fix the problem then it should be a fuse. To get to the fuses you will need to take it apart. If you have a warranty don't send it back.There are a lot of ds lite repair videos on utube. To help you find the fuses.

I plug in my ds lite charger the light comes on for a split second then goes off? any ideas?

Try shaking the DS, not too hard and if you hear something loose inside then you should send it in to Nintendo. Also, could be just a faulty charger cable. Try another cable see if it works.

We had this problem with a brand new DS Lite...turns out it was a bad charger. If you have access to another charger, try that first. Good luck!

Wont turn on

I'll quote GBATemp here:

symptom:
the ds lite powers up for a brief instant, but then shuts off
potential solution:
disassemble the lower shell and check the connections of upper and lower displays (all three flexible cable connections).

try to charge it with another battery,if that does not solve the problem then there is a blown fuse inside the board.its besibe the battery terminal to the right.but first you have to open the unit using a triwing screwdriver and a small precision phillips screwdriver.

Power problems with DS Lite

Really sounds like a dead battery. The DS will not work if the battery is bad even when it's plugged in. You get the quick flash of the power light and that's it.
