    I have DS One supercard. My DS just stopped seeing it one day. I was wondering if my card is junk or can i do something to fix it? Has this ever happened to anyone else?

    So when you put it in it goes to the DS menu, this is usually poor contact - take out the supercard and look in the DS slot - do all the pins look like they are there and the same height. If they do clean the contacts on the supercard, then reinsert into the ds a few times - in out in out. If it still does not work then try putting a thin piece of card behind the supercard, this will push it closer to the contacts.

    If all fails the card must have completely failed

    Ok i cleaned the contacts a little bit and now it sometimes works. whats the best way to clean the connector pins on the cartridge? i think if i could clean them better, it would work more often. Thanks!

    Put a piece of folded paper (thin card) behind the cartridge to push it on to the contacts this cures the problem for most people
