My nintendo ds lite stopped working but does charge

That depends on the type of warranty. If it's a new DS Lite, it should come with a 30-day warranty through Nintendo. To claim that, you have to either call Nintendo at 1-800-255-3700 or contact them online at www.nintendo.com.

If you got the system at your local GameStop, they offer a 1-year replacement warranty. If your system stops working, you can just bring it in with the warranty and they will replace your system free of charge.

theres problly internal problem! maybe some cable connection inside the system is not working!

take it back to nintendo

ya mean L/R button? cuz those are the most problemized buttons on ds lite. especially the L

Well go to a nearby GameStop they fixed my DS lite when it wouldnt charge with the charger the reason was it was old so i needed a new one anywhoo when the screen comes on it says NENTENDO DS LITE well mine says lite since it is a ds lite well you tap the screen with your pen and the menu is there or this could be because you (A) dropped it
(B) got it wet
(C) handled it roughly
hope this helps

@JoepIt, you have a defective LCD screen. Could be upper of lower (I thing for 99% the upper).


@pietras1422, on the mainboard next to the power-switch, there is a resistor. If could be loose or is missing completely. Problem will occur when the DS Lite is dropped to the ground

My kids did the same thing. What I did to get it to work was to push back on the top and hold it turn it on. If it comes on then turns off after you let it go get 2 rubber bands and put the 1st. one on the top left down to the bottom right. The 2nd. one goes from the top right right to the bottom left. Then keep turning it on while moving the top to find the sweet spot.

Are you leaving the DS charge until the light comes off? Remember that there are two likes too, one for charging and one for power. If you're just charging for some random period of time (lets say... One hour) then your Battery isn't going to be fully charged. The best way to ensure that your DS Lite is charged is to leave it charge until the charge light turns off. You can play your DS Lite while you are charging (I do it all the time), but it just means that you're just running off of the outlet.

A good test is to charge it fully (until the charge light comes off), unplug the charger cord (Make sure it's secured tightly to your DS while charging), then play for a little bit, your light should be a normal color (green).

If you cannot even play by using the outlet, then you need to
find a charger cord that actually works (You may need to send in the charger for replacement). If the same thing happens with 2 different batteries (assuming that you have two official Nintendo batteries).

TIP: Also run your fingers across the Charger cord. You're going to get a slight friction burn from the rubber, but you're going to get all of the kinks out of the wire in the cord. My charger cord had a similar problem (did not charge all the way, only charged until I moved the DS) but when I ran my fingers across it (pinching) it worked again.

Also check the pins in both charger cords, charging will not work if one pin is missing, nor if any are bent.

maybe the charger is broken?or the tape of the nintendo DS is had a virus?

never do things like that.did your ds lite come with a ac adapter?did you check in the box?if not call the nintendo experts 1-800-255-3700.they will either take it out and send it back to you or give you a new one (and u must pay if they cannot take it out)
