DS part2


So, of course the first question is: is the battery okay? I have to admit that I'm stupid. Each time I turn it on it works for a diminishing amount of time, should be obvious, eh? But I loaded the battery from 11:30 to 15:30, what's going on here?

Well, I guess something in the power circuit is broken, preventing the battery from being charged or the DS from getting power from the socket (probably because that runs over the battery).

So while that darned thing was glowing brightly away with its green mains indicator, the battery didn't charge at all and what I played on was just the minimum charge that all LiIons come with. Great!

Well the good news is, I'm rather sure what's broken, because when I fired it up after giving it an hour's rest, it actually showed the menu and in the upper right corner there was a blinking red battery indicator, case closed. Phew! I was already scared.

The bad news is: Something's wrong with the power circuit and that will have to be fixed. Maybe I'll try it myself first but it shouldn't be a big deal at a store either.

Yeah! It's so good to know what is broken (and that you probably didn't just screw up) it almost soothes the pain of not being able to play Zelda tonight.
