DS Lite turns off since it was slighty introduced to liquid....

[Mike 01Hawk]

It was slighty introduced to some liquid on the surface edges.

 

Here's the rundown of my testing:

 

1) Replaced battery, no help

2) Happens even when plugged in

3) Charger is a bit flakey.. have to wiggle the cord

4) Seems to play GBA games great

5) Will turnoff after about 3-5 seconds once into play mode on a DS game

6) Took apart using tri-wing and both water stickers are still 'good' ie, white w/ red dots. No noticeable damage/corrosion when I was inside the DS.

7) Bought in May 2006, with no receipt available.

 

So.... why would it just be the DS games giving it issues? What about having NoA work on it, if that would be worth it or if I should just sell it on Ebay for ~$50-60.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks

How long have you had it?

 

I'd send it back to Nintendo. They have great customer service IMHO.

I've never dealth with NoA'c custmer service, but I've listened to good reports from people who have. Give 'em a try.

 

Other than that, I'd check the boards for traces of whatever was spilled on it. If it's water, you should be able to clean it up and get the games going. I guess the usual clean the system and cart contacts thing applies here, too. If you spilled a soft drink or something on it, though, you're going to have your hands full with that, so just send it in and pay NoA to fix it.

Twas cat pee..... lol

 

And yes, I got the smell to go away.

Have you posted about this here before, or have multiple AA users had cats pee on their DS's?

 

If its you posting about it again, I think its time to give up on it or call Nintendo. No easy solutions work and its obviousily been damaged.

[Mike 01Hawk]

Yeah.. I'm a dolt.. I forgot I had already posted about this on here.. lol

 

F'n oldtimers acting up again
