    Hi, my little baby cousin licked my EDGE and Microchip and it doesn't work when i put it on my NDS. Will it work again? Or is it just cause of the saliva he put in there. my MicroSD Chip works but the EDGE DS chip holder doesnt.

    Um...ok.

    Dry the sd card, copy the data to a pc and backup what you can, reformat and place it all back.

    If you can't format it, or read the data...the sd card is busted (the sd card is the "chip" from the edge card) and a new one may be needed.

    A stupid question but how do you reformat the sd card?

    Connect to your pc, right click, format on the device.


    Oh...make sure both your sd and your edge are dry (try to dry the inside of the edge if you can...)


    But before you bother, what exactly happens when you start the edge card on the ds?

    When i started my edge card on my DS it doesn't boot up, and it starts regular like any other ds game with nothing in it.

    Hrm, then it's not the sd card we worry about.

    A ds should recognise a flash cart even without sd cards, or firmware for that matter.


    Dry the chip, check if the sd works on a pc incase there is hope for the edge.

    If the SD chip was able to be opened on the PC that means its not the sd chip correct? Because my SD Chips works fine on the USB that plugs into my pc.

    So then its the SD that is doing the problem im guessing.

    No...that would mean something is wrong with the edge card in that case.

    The sd is fine if the pc can read it.

    Um...no worries.


    I'd assume the sd might be working...but what is the condition of the edge?


    Did drying it help?

    And please don't tell me you used a hair cryer or cotton swab....leaving it to dry naturally would have worked safely.

    I've got that message myself a few times with my old EDGE It means a error accured
    If my R4 gave me that message I took out my cartridge and blow in the card holder to get rid of the dust, after doing that a few times the DS will recognize the EDGE again.

    im soz but you will prob have to buy a new edge or some other flash card (i say you buy a ttdsi) if your thinking about getting a dsi or dsi xl then get a i flash card because it will still work on dsl and then you will be ready for a dsi :D
    btw ttdsi is really cheap now just look on there website www.ndstt.com
    hope this helps..
