This happened to my son, look in the slot one (where you put the games) with a flashlight and check there are no broken/bent pins on the reader.If the reader is damaged in any way it will result in the problem you have stated. All is not lost though, you can take the DSi to a computer repair shop and ask the guy if he's up for replacing the slot reader.He needs to be good at micro-soldering.The replacement parts are very cheap on ebay.

Sorry but you have the wrong charger for it.

Worst thing you can do to it. It is now in theory damaged beyond repair. I hope you had warrenty on that.

you can buy new chargers at game shops they aren't very expensive and if you happen to find your other one you'll always have a spare.... i have 5 thanks to my son lol

Hi penny_od.....The following excerpts has been extracted from the Nintendo Help Site. If you would like to view the entire document, please click on the URL below....Please update your post of any progress, whether positive or negative so that I may learn from this too.....good luck my friend. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/ds/trouble_screen.jsp#touch ============================================= Touch Screen doesn't respond or is inaccurate when touched * Be sure that you're using only the bottom screen of the Nintendo DS with the stylus. The upper screen is not a touch screen. * Use only licensed Nintendo DS styluses and screen protectors. * Unlicensed screen protectors can lower the sensitivity of the touch screen. If the problem you are experiencing started happening after you attached a screen protector, you may want to remove it. Please note that some screen protectors can leave behind a residue that may be difficult to clean. If you are planning on removing a screen protector that has been placed on your Nintendo DS, click here for tips on cleaning your screens. * If the touch screen is not responding when touched, or the accuracy of the screen is off, you may need to recalibrate the touch screen. Click here for help recalibrating the Touch Screen. * If recalibrating the screen didn't solve the problem (see above step), hold the Nintendo DS at an angle so that you can see where the edges of the Touch Screen meet the housing of the system. Look around the entire edge of the Touch Screen for any foreign material (such as crumbs, etc.) that may be wedged in between the Touch Screen and the housing of the DS. Foreign material in this area can cause the Touch Screen to work incorrectly. If there are any visible particles, please follow these steps for cleaning the screen. If the above steps do not solve the problem, your system will need to be repaired. Click here for repair information.

you probably disconnected a wire on the inside

Does the screen light up? You need to provide more info. The fix for this would be complicated for the average person. You could trash the system by opening it and not knowing what you are doing. Most likely the screen needs replaced. Google for a local repair person as in "video game ds repair columbus ohio - or what city you live in.

There is a billboard with a picture of a castle on it. It is near a yellow taxi....you have to kill a blue monster first...

1. • 1 Turn off the Nintendo DS, and place it on the charger. Leave the device for 45 minutes to allow it to gain a full charge, and then power it back on. Weak Nintendo ds lite batteries may cause screen flicker.
   • 2 Turn off the DS, and remove all game cartridges. Turn the system back on to launch the main menu.
   • 3 Click the small sun icon to open the brightness menu. Adjust the brightness level using your stylus. Turn it up to max to improve back lighting.
   • 4 Check that the Nintendo DS is open and in the locked position. It must be open to its default position to operate properly.

I CAN SOLVE IT xD no its not broken

heres what u do :D You hold A+B+START+SEL With action replay in then you turn it on while holding Those buttons then when Action replay main screen comes up Release the buttons and then type ID in then it should work

Blow in the NDSL card and the slot 1 (Avoid blowing with spittle).If you use R4/Acekard/etc.:Look for dust/dirt in micro sd card. Clean it.Not working? Probably the problem is slot 1 connector. Need to change it.

Is it still under warranty? Call Nintendo and have them repair it for you. I had the same exact issue, Nintendo solved my problem in less than a week.

Well if your daughter lost the dog, then she was probably not to attached to it. I would just get a new dog.

cheekiemunke,

First of all, your DS Lite is charging both ways.....with power on and without power on.
You have for almost 99% sure a blown fuse F2 on the systemboard.
If you can solder you can try to replace it with a new one but be adviced, it is tricky if you don't have the skills with soldering SMD components and it can send your DS lite to the trash.
So my advice is find someone that repair DS Lites or order a fuse on eBay and try it yourself.

Regards

John

Try taking it out and putting it pack in again, if it still doesn't work try cleaning the game card and blowing into the game slot. This is not a video..
