My NDS lite with blown fuse. To turn on the DS lite without soldering a new fuse/bridging, etc., use an "R4DS III Upgrade".
Procedure:
- Slot in R4DS III Upgrade
- Take out battery (Optional)
- Plug in charger and AS SOON as the orange light brightens up, turn on the power switch. If first try didn't work, try it again until the green light stays on along with charging light. Flip open your DS lite and it is now functioning.
Problems: Won't be portable. Plugging off the charger would turn off the DS lite. Turning off the DS lite would result in re-doing the procedure. If you want to return to the menu from a game, use soft-reset, or turn off your DS. Tip: As soon as DS is turned off, turn it back on, and you won't have to re-do the procedure.
