My Nintendo DS does not work right. It says there

My Nintendo DS does not work right. It says there is no game pak or card inserted when there is a game in the DS. The screen just says it is ready for downloads. I have tried several games, but they don't work either. Do you know what is wrong by what I am describing?

Have a look down the game slot for any bent or broken pins if not the slot 1 game socket is not holding the game cartridge tight enough to the pins to make a good connection. there is a quick fix for this that has worked for me, only if you are confident enough to open up the ds, by pressing down hard enough to make a slight dent in metal peice on the logic board, press down the bottom corners and the middle with a small screw driver and that should cure the problem. good luck <tell me how it goes>

I just bought a nintendo ds from ebay. Came in case with a charger - i turn it on and it says 'There is no DS cad inserted' and 'There is no Game Pak inserted'. I assume by Game Pak they mean 'a game' and...

No, you dont need to buy a ds card, ds card is another word for a ds game, also game pak is also another word for a game boy advance game. so don't worry about it and enjoy your ds : )

Ds problem

The only solution I can think of at the moment is that you're putting them in the wrong slot. I fear for your intelligence if this is the case. Make sure that no dust has got into the card, that the card isnt damaged, and that they are inserted into the right slot the right way round. It should click if inserted correctly. If you hear a crack then you've done it wrong and snapped the card.
