    I have a Nintendo DS, it was given to me, not brand new but its working great. At first I could charge it using a GBA SP charger, then after like 2 weeks, I cant charge it anymore. Everytime I hook up the charger, I see the orange light but in half a second, its gone. It's not charging anymore. I tried to charge the battery using my friend's DS then after the charging is done, I used it on my DS. It works perfect again. Its just annoying that I cant charge it. What do you think is wrong? Are there any ways or tricks that I could let this work again? Tnx

    sounds like the charger needs replaced to me.

    One of the 3
    Bad battery
    or
    Bad charger
    or
    Bad DS

    if you have a batt thats working and it wont charge with a DC adapter you know that works then the DS is somehow not letting it carge.

    So you took the battery out of your DS, put it in a friend's DS, charged it fine, put it back in your DS, and everything worked and the batterry was charged?

    If that is the case, it sure sounds like something may have gotten loose on a connection or a wire, but who knows.

    You could try an external charger like either of these:

    or
    http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DS-Dual-Battery-Charger/dp/B0009SRZ7Y

    I'm sure Google will turn up others.

    I have two (2) batteries, the original one and the dragon replacement. I just borrow my friend's external battery charger but he uses it too, i could only charge if we're together. Maybe I should get one of those external chargers for myself. I just wonder if there's a fix, about the loose connection, does the web have any tutorials about this? Tnx
