if your ds is about 2 years old, it's probably time to change the battery. even though the battery is rechargeable, it wont hold a charge as it gets older. no matter how long you keep it on the charger, the battery is truly dead and it wont turn on. if anything, replace the battery. if your ds is brand spanking new, then you probably didn't leave it on the charger long enough to begin with.
Each time you charge your battery, the charge capacity is decreased. After a large amount of charges, the capacity is decreased to an amount only enough to turn on a/the screen(s) for a second. Try getting a new battery.
it does have a battery yes - on the back there is a screw which opens the battery compartment. the battery is the same sort as a mobile phone uses and you can buy new ones easily (search "DS Battery" on google or ebay).
I doubt the battery is the problem here because I assume the DS wont turn on even when plugged in (it would if the battery was dead) but I guess it cant hurt to try??
It's not likely to be battery, but fracture in ribbon cable to top screen causing this. Both screens must be connected or you get the symptom you've explained.
i have same issue and i have changes the battery but still samae issue..

the orange charge light goes off after 1 second when attaching the cord to the system and wont charge any further.
Same issue. Nintendo have "repaired" it twice now but the problem remains.
Going to give them one last time to try and fix it.
