Nintendo DS Lite - does not charge

I plug the charger into my daughters Nintendo DS and the orange light flashes on then goes straight off again. I left it plugged in for about an hour as I thought, even without the light on, it may charge but it is totally dead. Can anyone help please?

    Thank you for your comments. Ill find someone with a charger and give it a go! I didnt even consider that it might be the charger!

    I have charged the unit over night. The red light never chaages to green. When I flip open the unit to power on it just flashes off.

    Tried different chargers and different battery to no avail.

    The orange light comes up briefly and then dies out.

    Nintendo does not turn on.

I would suggest trying to find what the issue is, if you know anyone who has a different charger, try it on your daughter's ds. if it still doesn't work, it's a DS problem...if it's under warranty, go to whatever store you bought it at and have them fix or replace it. If you try the different charger and it DOES work, then the only problem is the charger...so then all you have to do is go buy a new charger...hope this helps.

The nintendo DS is flat. Whe I attempt to charge it the light flashes orange and then goes off?
That usually means that the ds is fully charged. If it is not charged then there is probably a problem with the battery or the charger.

Ds lite suddenly stopped working
The orange light goes off when the battery has been charged to its highest capacity. After every charge, the batteries capacity is decreased. Get a new battery, that should do it.

What is the orange charging light doing? If it is just flashing on, or only staying on or a minuet, that means you need a new battery. The orange light foes on when the battery has been charged to its maximum capacity. After each charge, the capacity is decreased. So if the orange light is on for only a short time, get a new battery.

Nintendo ds wont charge
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

Ds lite ac wall charger
When you first get the DS it will have a bit if charge on it but only a few hours worth. When the DS charges it usally comes up with a orange/red ish light then that goes out about a few hours later when its charged. ad if you want to chek if it is charging correcly turn the DS on whilst it is charging and the little battery simble in the top right corner should show the battery carging.
