Nintendo DS Lite, Dim Green Light, Brigher Green Light then off

My Nintendo DS Lite doesnt turn on, it simply shows a dim green light then a brighter green light then just turns off.

I've heard about changing fuses, will that cure it if I change the fuses?

Regards

Dave

Hi,

If the green light reacts as you state then the chances are the fuses are fine.

Again, with the reaction of the green light being as you stated i'm going to assume you have a problem with one of your screens, tell me... when the green light comes on does one of the screens flash? If it does then we have found the answer...

The screen that doesnt flash is the one with the problem, you can try taking the DS lite apart and re-connecting the screens ribon to see if that sorts it, if it doesnt then im afraid you will have to buy a new screen. These can befound on ebay for a reasonable price.

I have written some guides on how to change your screens and how to disassemble the DS lite, these will guide youthrough the processes you need to take. These can be found by clicking on my name and then scrolling down to "tips and tricks", press the "view all" to see all of them and find what you need.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Ds light green,dim green, amber then off when power is turned on
Sounds like you need to send it in for repair. I had sent my console to VideoGame911.com and they repaired mine at a great cost and got it back at the end of the week. Give them a try, they are cheaper than a manufacturer. Good luck!

My DS Lite when powered up will show the green light, it then gets brighter and then the system shuts down. I have checked and replaced the fuses and checked the cables just in case but still the problem...
That sounds like the behavior of a fault resistor. I would get a new board. They are surprisingly cheap.

What does it mean if a ds lite red light doesnt show up when you are playing it? The green light is on and plays fine but then when battery gets low the green light goes off and stays off but the red light...
This is OK the Red LED Has just gone out... simply just keep an eye on time if you think that it might die soon plug it in... there is not much that you can do to fix it.

Cannot power up the DS Nintendo. The light will come on for a split second and than go off again.
I bet you have replaced a screen or opened the DS. The ribbon cables for the screens have to be securely located and ALL THE WAY into the holders otherwise the DS lights to show an error. the ribbon cable error looks like this when you power on--- Dim green for a second then bright pulse green then off.
If this is happening its a cable error RE-SEAT even if you think they are. If you get that error it is deffinately cable.

The green light flashes on my Ds Lite, but it simply wont turn on. It always shows a black screen. Please help.
One of your screens have either come loose at their connection or the screen is faulty which means a new screen.
Just hope its the bottom one as the top screen requires some patience to replace.

Nintendo DS Lite will not power up
This can sometimes be caused by the single smt capacitor on the board in the top half that the screen cables plug in to. Try replacing the cap or the entire board.
