    Hi

    I am new here and wondered if I could please have some help?

    I bought a DSTT card and as soon as I put it in my DS the DS stopped working and would not charge or switch on.
    I thought it may be a coincidence as the DS was an old one so I bought a new DS lite and the card has also killed this one :O

    I looked on the official TTDS website that shows which cards are fake and which are real by looking inside them and my card seems to be a real one?? so I am totally confused now.

    Has anyone got any ideas?

    I am obviously scared now to buy another card even another make incase it does it again as I cannot get my DS replaced a second time :(

    Some help would really be appreciated

    Thanks

    1) Replace the fuse F2 on the DS board - working DS

    DSTT do seem to have a habit of doing this, try another card (not DSTT or anything with R4 in the name)

    I would only recommend bridging the fuse for testing, (without a card) you can buy the fuses (yes they are small) but if anything does go wrong you have a chance of repairing it, if you bridge it you can end up with a pocket of melted DS!

    How common is this issue? I've ordered a DSTT cart and it should be here in the next week or so. I'm a little worried to try it now!

    Rare

    However it does seem to happen to DSTT cards more than other flash carts, however as I said - RARE
