    Hi all,

    I have just recieved my N5 DS card and instantly have a problem having come so close to playing on it!

    What it is, is that the SD card will not "click" into place in the N5 slot. If i put it in and hear the click it simply falls out once i turn it upside down?!
    Does this mean that the spring inside is broken and is this common?


    In addition to my great night so far, my DS wont switch on at all. I'm not sure if this is due to the charger but will try it with a different one soon. Any help tho?


    Many thanks

    The spring is either broken or wasn't included. My R4 has no spring and I can slide in my MicroSD card fine. Have you put it in correctly? You may have done it backwards. If not, send it in for a replacement, as you won't be able to do anything with the N5 if that happens. Or contact the N5 team about it. Or get a different flashcart.

    As for your DS, if it was low battery, it still should be able to turn on for a little while. Probably nothing to do with the charger. If you've had your DS for long, it could be your battery has died. You can get another one for a very cheap price. Or you can contact Nintendo about your DS problem. But not your flashcart problem. :p

    It is possible for the battery to run so low that the machine wont turn on. Leave it plugged in and switched off (if it will charge while switched off) for a few hours then try again.

    well, with any luck i'm going to get a full refund for the N5 and hopefully buy the TTDS.
    As for my actual DS it simply wont charge u at all, the charge light will appear for a millisecond before going off and nothing happening again?!

    regards

    If you try a different charger and it still doesn't work, then something is faulty with your DS.
