Turn off the Nintendo DS, and place it on the charger. Leave
the device for 45 minutes to allow it to gain a full charge, and then
power it back on. Weak Nintendo ds lite batteries may cause screen flicker.
2
Turn off the DS, and remove all game cartridges. Turn the system back on to launch the main menu.
3
Click the small sun icon to open the brightness menu. Adjust
the brightness level using your stylus. Turn it up to max to improve
back lighting.
4
Check that the Nintendo DS is open and in the locked position. It must be open to its default position to operate properly.
Not that common a problem. Have one on my desk at the moment with the same problem. It seems that the game bent two of the contacts in the card reader (ds lite game section -slot 1). I opened the slot and straightened the two pins and this solved the problem.
Be careful if you are doing this as it is quiet tricky with a good few small parts.
To owner of question, you will have to clean out the DS Lite Cartridge Slot since there must be too much corrosion on the pins or dust inside the Cartridge Slot. Try using rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to clean the inside of it. Then use a dry q-tip to dry the rubbing alcohol. To Guest - If you open up the DS Lite, you will see that the cartridge slot is covered with metal. You can't get into it without breaking it apart. Your best bet is to buy a replacement Cartridge Slot off of Ebay, desolder the old one, and then solder the new one on.
it may be a technical difficulty in the gba slot try bowing in it or get a q tip and kinda dust it out or blow in the game becuse the game isint making any connections to the ds and with the charger thing if u push in the charger too hard you might mess up the reciving thing inside the ds so it wont get the charge so be very careful when it comes to ds.....if u have any more questions plz let me know
Ensure that you are properly recharging the battery.
1. Insert the small end of the adapter into the external extension connector (labeled "5.2V=IN") on the back of the Nintendo DS Lite, just next to the SLOT 1 Game Card opening.
2. Swing the prongs on the AC adapter until they lock into place, then insert it into a standard (120 volt) outlet.
The plug should be mounted vertically or on a floor outlet (such as a power strip).
3. Once the adapter is properly inserted, the unit will begin to charge (the orange charging light will display).
4. Once the DS Lite is fully charged, the orange charge light will go off.
Check the AC Adapter for damage (such as bent prongs or split wires). If you see damage to the AC Adapter, purchase a replacement from NintendosOnline Store.
Try plugging the AC Adapter into another wall outlet. Its possible the outlet is not working properly and has not been charging the Nintendo DS Lite.
If you are unable to get power to your Nintendo DS Lite, despite trying to properly recharge the unit, then your system will need to be repaired.
Nintendo offers convenient repairs, fast turnaround times and, for all systems repaired, a new one-year manufacturer's warranty.
Clean the battery contacts and the DS pins with alcohol and toilet paper or qtip. Do the same with the game contacts and the slot pins taking care not to broke them.
If using a flashcart then you have a defective unit.
While the unit is OFF, push down and hold the START button then turn ON the NDS. You can try the same with the SELECT or both buttons down.That must grant you access to the DS main menu.
By default the DS load the game cartridge when only one slot is used and let you choose when two slots are used. So if both slots are empty the menu must appear though your case would be very rare.
Same problem. DS was working fine, charged it overnight and the next day, it turns on (solid green light) but the entire thing is dead - black screens, no sound, nothing is working (except that green light!).
the light stays on forever but nothing shows on the screen
does the green light flicker then turn off, or does it stay on forever?
Was it dropped to the ground ?
