DS Powering On

One of our DS's will not turn on. I have plugged in the recharge cord, and let it charge overnight. When I try to turn it on, the green light comes on briefly, and the bottom screen flickers, but then the game turns off.

I have taken the battery out of this DS, and put the battery in a new DS, and that DS works. I have also taken the battery from a DS that works, and put it in the malfunctioning DS, and it does the same thing--green light comes on and bottom screen flickers, but nothing happens.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, if the bottom screen briefly comes on with a white screen. There is a issue with the top screen, it is either the top screen itself or if there is damage to the hinge it will more than likely be the cheaper option the ribbon cable that threads though the hinge to the top screens PCB board.

Green light goes out after 10 sec no screen

1. Check battery - try recharging it overnight
2. Check integrity of AC charger if it still working properly. Or you can try charging the psp overnight using USB charger.

We have a 255 and never bothered with charging it except via lighter in vehicle. It seemed to be working fine but then it started to fade out and i left it at that but recently purchased the electrical...

Leave the unit plugged in overnight and then try powering it up. The batter may be so dead that it has to be replaced if it will not charge. Check that the power cord is powering the unit at 12 volts.

My ds lite is broken

How does it charge? If the orange charge light stays on for only a short time and than turns off, you may need a new battery. Rechargeable batteries lose their capability of holding a charge. I would suggest trying a friend's battery and see if it resolves the problem.

Ds lite green light is on but both screens are black and no sound

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

My son's nintendo ds has been charging for a day now, but it

The battery is probably completely drained. Rechargeable batteries have a certain lifetime in which they can be charged to. The charge limit for a Nintendo DS is approx. 500 charges. When you pass this limit the battery will no longer work. Your best option is to buy a replacement battery at http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/
After a year or more a rechargeable battery won't last as long as it did when it was new.

It can't be recharged

The DS's battery has a limit to how many times you charge it,but then again the charger's wire inside it might be disconnected.
Try to buy a new DS charger and see if its the wire,if its not then try to call nintendo to see if they might be able to replace the battery(for a fee).
