hi all, my son got his first DS console a week or so ago, the thing is that the orange light will come on when the charger is plugged in then go off a few minutes later, i am assuming this is a problem with the charger and not the console, i have managed to charge it up a few times but wondered if any1 else had experienced a problem like this...(Common Fault?)if its a problem with the charger, would i be able to get a replacement from Nintendo or just buy a replacement on Ebay or something..... 1 last thing...how long does the battery general last for one complete charge just so i know if it is getting a full charge. Thanks
Extended battery life compared to the DS. With a full three-hour charge the battery will last fifteen to nineteen hours on the lowest brightness setting and five to eight hours on the highest brightness setting (both are dependent on the type of game activity).[6] After 500 charges, battery life can be expected to drop.[6] The DS was supplied with a 850mAh battery, while the DS Lite has a 1000mAh battery. the above is from wikipedia
thanks for the reply.... i did put it on last night and before i went to bed it was still charging after 4hrs...dont know how long it took to fully charger..is this normal?
