DS shell replacement help please

[janeyjacksmum]

I have spent 2 days replacing the shell on my sons DS i have successfully, so I thought completed the terrible task. The DS now only goes on for a second and then goes back off I,ve checked all wires etc and everything seems right. What have I done wrong is it broken.

Go back an check to make sue that ALL the connections are proper.  Free of dust, Locks in place, ribbon cables IN all the way, wi-fi board IN snug, ALL FOAM PADS back in place to prevent electrical shorting....also, THERE IS a FUSE inside the DS Lite.  Google it, or search it here in AcidMods.

I took apart my DSL and put it back together.  I had the SAME problem.

The light turns green.....gets a lil brighter..........then screen flashes and DS shuts off auto motto blotto gotto.

My PROBLEM was that one of the ribbon cables that connects the digitizer to the motherboard wasn't fully connected.

I tested the DS with everything connected WITHOUT putting it all back together....and Everything was running Fine.

.......THEN i put all that junk back where it post be.

This happens when a connection of a major part isn't fully connected. This could be your screens, wifi/bios modulator thing, etc.

It could also just be a very nice short circuit.

Yeah but if all he did was take the ds apart and replace the case, it's unlikely it is a short.

That's true but there could be two exposed wires that are touching. There aren't many.

Actually, no.
This is because the screens aren't in all the way or the fuse(s) are blown.
Don't post if you don't know.

The DSL doesn't work like this when there's a short.
