Nintendo DS Lite - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Probably overheated and damaged the GPU.

that happens to mine sometimes i smash it against the wall and it works its so cool

Hi there! There are a couple options you could try to solve this problem!

To solve this error :

I would first check Nintendo's special notes router infomation page located here.

• If you can't locate your router on Nintendo's special notes router information page, log into your router and change the basic rate to 1-2 and the transmission rate to 2. Try to connect again.
• You can try to manually assign an IP address to the Nintendo DS as another device may be sharing the same IP address of the Nintendo DS.
• To manually assign an IP address to the Nintendo DS, on a PC click Start > Run > type CMD and press Enter > type IPCONFIG/ALL and press Enter. On Windows Vista, click Start > type CMD in the Start Search box > click on CMD icon > type IPCONFIG/ALL and press Enter. The IP address for the Nintendo DS must be 10 digits higher than your PC, for example 192.168.1.200 becomes 192.168.1.210. Also make sure that the correct DNS is the entered under the DS manual settings.

Hopefully one of these options is your answer and you can easily fix your problem! Good luck! If you need any further assistance I would suggest calling Nintendo at 1-800-255-3700.

you dont say if you have the r4 softwear loaded on the sd card if not try the r4 website and download the correct softwear for your card,you should then be able to open the games you have downloaded,hope this helps

It's just themed with Super Mario (coloured red with an 'M' logo) and includes a game. Specs wise, there is nothing different between the two.

When it says there is no card, the logic board can't read a card. So perhaps you used a defective card, or contacts are dirty or bent, or when it says so with more than one card, the device can have a defect, like a connection lost or as I said defective logic board.

In order to get movies for your Nintendo DS, you must first purchase a kit which includes: USB cord with a microSD card slot, a 512 MB memory card, and an adaptor that fits into the DS cartridge slot. This hardware package is available from DSvision for only about $37, and it will be available in 2008.


Once you have the hardware package, you can begin downloading movies at the DSvision website from your computer, and then transferring those movies to your DS with the hardware. One downfall is that you can't download movies using the DS Lite's Wi-Fi capabilities, although this may be something to look for in the future from Nintendo and DSvision.

Upon launch, there will only be about 300 movie titles available for download, but they hope to increase that number to 10,000 within two years. You will also be able to download TV shows and e-books as well.

Is the light blinking while you wiggle the plug? If so there are one of two problems one is that your cord is broke. Or two the jack on your DS is broken. Try replacing the cord first as it is cheaper.

Get some isopropyl alcohol and with a cotton swab clean the gold fingers on the cartridge. As long as they fit in the slot this should solve your problem. Best of luck to you.

If it is reading some card, but not others, the cards themselves may be damaged. It is also possible that the system is failing. You may want to consult with a local game shop and see what they have to say. It is hard to diagnose any system without looking at it. Good luck.

What is the screen doing? Does it just flash for a second then turn off? Or does it stay like that until turned off? It could be the screen itself or the ribbon connecting it to the motherboard. Open your DS and see if the ribbon is messed up in any way. It could be the motherboard, too, which could mean you need to replace it. If it flashes for a second then turns off, it means that the screen that didn't flash (be it top or bottom) is needing repair.

The product manual refers to the pamphlet that you received with the game that lives in the left side of the DS game case.

I do not own the game, but looking it up results in the answer 'oxygen'. If that doesn't work, look through the game manual as it should be there.

Are you talking about the back cover or front cover? Either way, before starting you are going to need two things: A tri-wing screwdriver and a Philips screwdriver. To remove the BOTTOM COVER, you must take off the stickers covering the screws and remove the screws. Then, carefully pry the back off, revealing the motherboard inside. To remove the TOP COVER, you must take off the stickers covering the four screws in the corners of the INSIDE top screen. Unscrew them and gently push the inside top screen down until its about half a centimeter apart from it's backside. Then pull the backside off and you have it open. If you wanted to open the DS completely, like have it in half, you should first open the BOTTOM COVER and remove the motherboard after disconnecting it from everything attached to it. Then follow the steps given for removing the TOP COVER and slide the ribbon and cables sticking through from the TOP to the BOTTOM back to the TOP so that they are not sticking through and won't be damaged when you take the DS apart. Then unscrew the power light and voila! The DS should be separated.

Does it click when you press it or does it seem to be out of position? If so, that's an easy fit.To fix this you'd have to open up the DS and re position the button and the pin holding it in place. If not that, its probably got something to do with the trigger inside the DS. When you press the shoulder buttons, they push into a button just below them on the motherboard, which sends a message to the DS. If that has fallen off or started malfunctioning in any way, it could definitely be causing this. You'd have to order one online (link provided to an example) NINTENDO DS LITE BUTTON SWITCH REPAIR PARTS 4 NEW and then solder it in after desoldering the other one, if you know how to do that. If not, there are probably some repair guys with an ad on your local Craigslist who'd be happy to do it for you for a quick buck.

If the problem is internal (ie: the inside of the glass looks dirty) then you'll need to replace the screen. However, Nintendo has a guide on cleaning the outer screen.
