OffTopic > Problem with charging the DS

#38751 - Extreme Coder - Thu Mar 31, 2005 10:57 am

When the DS is turned off and I plug the charging adaptor to it, the orange(charging) led lights for a second and turns off. And if I remove the plug from the DS and put it in again, it does the same thing. However, when I try to plug it to the adaptor while the DS is on, the orange led keeps lighting all the time, but if I let into sleep mode, the led turns off.
What is the solution to this???

I don't have a DS but, Is the battery low? If not then, it must be fully charged (Thats what happens to me with my GBA SP when the battery is fully charged and I did'nt know).

Yes, the light turns off when the battery is full. It stays on when you are playing because you are using electricity at that time, so it needs to be replenished.

Thanks both of you, the problem is fixed. I was afraid something would happen to my DS.
