Hello,
I bought my son a ds lite for Christmas, unfortunately after trying to repair a broken hinge issue I've caused some other problem which makes the ds lite function faulty.
The ds doesn't seem to hold it's charge anymore, it's perfectly fine when plugged in though. I've been told it's just a case of needing a new battery, although I compared my sons battery with my daughters and it works fine with my daughters, although my daughters was fine inside hers but not in my sons.
When I try to use the system (after charging) it will only play normal games for about 15 minutes, when I put in my sons r4 card it shuts down either immediately or after 5 minutes. It sometimes stays 'green' then goes red before dying or it will flash between red and green. I've taken the ds to a repair outlet here but I've been told it's not 'repairable' and that the problem is the 'motherboard'. However, I don't quite buy that because I would of assumed if it was beyond repair it wouldn't work at all. (though I don't know)
Thought I would ask here.
