Got a Nintendo DS and was playing a game on it for about 15 minutes before it froze, so I turned the system off and waited a minute before turning it back on and now it won't read any DS game cards I put in. What do I do?

Try getting a new version or update your ds!

Try turning your DS power off then let it cool down for a few minutes. Before that take the game out. When you've let it cool down for a few minutes put the DS game back in and see if it has worked.

if it froze, then there is no way to save. you must turn the system off. and restart from your last save. that is why it is recommended to save often. please rate my solution, good or bad.

I would open the DS and make sure all the wires are hooked up correctly in the bottom slot if they are then call Nintendo and ask if they could repair it.

i would take the ds back and swap it and if your still having thr sanme prob take the games back and swap them

Remove the battery cover off the back of the unit. (One small Philips screw.)
Remove the battery.
Leave the system without the battery for 10-15 minutes.
Replace the battery.
Re-install the battery cover.

Ditch M3DS, eventually it will rupture your F2 fuze in the DS. Buy an R4DS and reprogram the MicroSD card.

well it depends on how long you havent played it.................if you didnt have it off very long plug the charger in and wait about an hour it should turn on then.......hope this helps

I've tried and it works. Thanks to The_Ogre

First DS (system you are transferring the ID from)

1. Turn on any Nintendo WFC-compatible game and access the WFC Setup Utility. (Consult the game manual for the game you are playing for specific information.)
2. Tap "Options."
3. Tap "Transfer Nintendo WFC Configuration."
4. Tap "Ok", then tap "Ok" again.

Second DS (system you are transferring the ID to)

5. Remove all games from the DS you wish to transfer the settings to, then turn the system on.
6. On the DS's main menu, select "DS Download Play."
7. Select "Nintendo WFC Configuration Transfer."
8. Tap "Yes" when asked if you want to download the software. The word "Downloading..." will appear.

First DS

9. On the DS with Nintendo WFC configuration, tap "Ok" to confirm that you wish to transfer the configuration.

Second DS (system you are transferring the ID to)

• If there is an existing configuration on the new DS, tap "Ok" to confirm that you wish to overwrite the existing configuration.
• Once the transfer begins, it will take about half a minute.

Both DS Systems

10. Once the configuration has been transferred, tap "Ok" to save the changes and shut each system off.

All of the Friend Codes you had given or received on the previous Nintendo DS will now work in the Nintendo DS system you transferred the ID to.

I just copied that from nintendo.com's customer service for you... it's better than how I could explain it.
