Power problem my daughters ds turns on for about 30 seconds and then turns off very anoying what can i do?

it may still be able to work. put it in a bowl of rice. that will **** out all the moisture from in the game. try starting it up after about a day or 2

Try and unscrew all the covers for the DS and locate the penny. Just try not to stretch wires or anything.

Unit could still be operable, probaly needs to be taken apart and reset, something probaly came loose.

estimate if sent out to us $20-$30
USPS sends out extremely cheap, we handle return ok

If the DS was turned on when the liquid was spilled on it I don't think there is much hope to be honest:(

If it's under warrenty send it back otherwise you might try taking it apart and use a hair dryer to dry it off... that's a long shot though!

My guess is that the problem resides in the charger. You can buy a dual use charger for the DS and DS Lite at GameStop for relatively cheap.

The system powers on, then performs a system check. The DS is finding some sort of error More than likely the top screen was damaged. I've been told that the screen that flickers is usually the good screen. The bad one doesn't flicker because it's damaged. You can replace the top screen yorself (if you're fairly handy), or you can pay a professional to do it. You can get new screens from Dealextreme.com for around 10US dollars, with free shipping. You can also find videos about how to change out the top screen on youtube. Hope this helps

I would contact nintendo if you have a warranty. Also try changing the battery or charger on the internet

Hi,

This is a loose connection near the power button and battery area in the DS it can easily be fixed by an engineer.

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.

that happen to me before,so try to switch off again
