Hey guys. I'm really hoping someone can help me. I bought M3 DS real. I did everything to get it up and running. I tested 2 backups on it and it worked with no problem. Since it was good to go, I loaded it with a few more backups. The DSL turned on and then shut down. It will NOT turn back on. I tried both different functional batteries and ac adpaters and they do not work either. I also tried my battery and ac adapter on other peoples DSL's and they worked fine. The only thing that happens is the red/orange light comes on when i plug it on the charger for about 1 second and then thats it. I opened it up and the fuses look ok. I tried the bridging the SL1 also, and it still does nothing. The DS is brand new, but I bought it on E-Bay so I cant return it anywhere. Please help me out if you can , I dont know what else to do. Thanks in advance guys.
only thing i can think off is one or both of the fuses is blown. see here on how to fix it if thats the case. good luck
from what you describe, sounds like a blown fuse according to this article http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=94191 heres a extract "So I couldn’t find a good tutorial on the internet on how to do this (only text ones, no pictures), so I decided to write one myself. This fix is for a DS (Phat or Lite) that has a blown fuse and won’t power on. You can tell if your DS has a fuse problem if you turn it on, the light comes on for a second, and then turns off again. I don’t know if this will work on a DS that won’t power on at all, but if you want to try it go ahead. I assume no responsiblility for any further damage you may cause though Hey, it may be worth a shot though… after all you’re DS is already broken right?"
Troops, Don't bridge the fuse - this spells disaster for any future current surges. Get the proper fuses or ask the dude to do the proper fix. DS Fuses
If you have blown a fuse and wish to test the DS bridging the fuse will leave you no worse off, however I agree with the above I would not leave it this way as one thing that can cause the fuse to blow is a fault on the top screen (quite common)But replacement fuses are standard surface mount 603 style 500ma (RS type suppliers offer 10 for £1.80)
