Quick m3 lite question

I just receive my m3 lite + passcard3 today. I tried to update the firmware but it seems like I couldn't. Everytime I boot up the ds all I get is the health screen.

I have the passcard in the nds slot and the m3 lite in the gba slot. Am I doing something wrong?

 

try to update in GBA mode.

 

The thing is the m3 just wouldn't boot.

 

even without the passcard

 

yeah i tried both with and without. Faulty m3 lite possibly?

 

what about in another M3 Lite shell

 

I tried with all 3 shells and no go on all.

 

first.. i'm assuming you can see the passcard3 on the game selection screen, right? if not, check to make sure the connectors are clean and if it still doesn't show up, something is wrong with that

if it says "start gba game" when your M3 Lite is inserted, then your M3 is fine

If it does not, check all connections, and if it still doesn't boot its time to exchange

 

yeah I can see the passcard just fine on the menu. I disassemble/reassemble and check the connectors several times. I think it's a defective unit. Time to send it back i guess
