Ds lite card inserted upside down

CAREFULLY use pressurized air on the ds hopefully this will clean out any dust. Blow on the hole. Check another game to see if it works instead of the game you constantly keep trying. Ask her if the ds ever got wet, because once a DS gets wet and you've been turning it on or off it fries the motherboard inside and it's pretty much useless.

I think you need to update the R4 software,dont know what is your R4 update website?
you know ,there are many version of r4, If you are in UK,i suggest you visit www.logictoyz.com

Hi,

Chances are the pins in the slot are bent or broken...To check shine a torch/ flashlight down the slot and see if anything looks out of place.

My best suggestions for resolving this are:
1) If under warranty then send it off to them for repair.
2) Find a local repair place and give it to them to repair it.
3) If you have good soldering skills and fancy a bit of DIY repair you can have a go at sorting it yourself.

To be honest its far easier to just replace the entire slot-1 part than it is to take the part apart and repair it, the cost of the slot- 1 is very reasonable from ebay.

I have a few guides written up to help you if you do decide to take the DIY option, they are as follows:

Hope this helps, any further help or advice you may need then feel free to contact me.

I also had this problem. There might be a forgein material on it. That or a piece on the catrige

The memory card goes in the R4, contacts up (face down). And then you slide the R4 into the DS, exactly the same way as you would any DS game.

Try eject, blow into the port then reinsert. There is a possibility that your ds has blocked the r4 from being used on that ds.

The game is old and maybe not treated with care. Mail it to palm coast, fl.

There is a small latch on the connector that may be stuck. Try this. Turn the DS Lite upside down with the charger plug facing away from you. Press down the on the plug gently with your right thumb and with your left hand pull the connect away from the socket. FYI this should be a simple fit! Make sure the connector was not jammed in upside down to start with. It has a clear six sided shape to it!

please dont take this the wrong way, but have you made sure the card is not upside down,

The DS Card Slot may be loose. If so, try not to touch the game card while playing.

Or, there may be a piece of dust or lint in the card slot. If you can see the lint, pick it out with clean tweezers. If you cannot see it, ask a mechanic to open the Ds and pick the dust out.
