    Hi, just a problem with my r4/ds...

    When I turn on my ds with the r4 in it, it starts the typical nintendo white screen, then the loading screen, then my ds screen turns black, though the light indicator on the side still shows that the power is still on. Does anyone know why this is happening or a solution to this? I've been using my r4 for half a year now, and this is the first time it happened...it was still working when my mom was playing with it, but after I took the card out to stick a song in, it doesn't work anymore. My computer also no longer senses it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    could be your micro sd memory card i had it happen once tried a new memory card and it was ok .
    have you tried formatting the memory card with your computer trying a different card reader ?
    have you a mobile phone you could try putting the memory card in and formatting it ?
    have you a spare memory card you could try ?
    just a few suggestions .

    I haven't tried using a different card reader yet, although I have inserted it into a cell phone...but when it asked if I wanted to format it, it told me that the data inside might be erased, so I didn't know if I should continue.
