DS wont turn on anymore

[robochicken7]

So, this happened a little bit ago. My Loopy DS was working perfectly. I needed to switch out games, so I turned it off, closed the lid, replaced the game, then opened it back up. When I hit the power button, nothing happened, and the orange light from the capture USB being plugged in wasn't on. I unplugged it and replugged it in, which led to just a blink of the orange light. Sometimes if I hit the power button, the green light will flash for a second before going back off. What could be the issue?

Also, just while doing some testing, I tried to turn it on as I plugged it in. The light comes on green, flashes to red a split second later, then goes off entirely.

Odd question, but can you take the battery out, and put it back in.
Perhaps your battery is pooched.

I took the battery out and put it back in, nothing changed. The battery looked fine. I also opened up the back to see if something was looking weird, but I didnt really know what to look for.

When the power flashes for a second and turns off, it's usually a sign that one of the screen cables isn't seated correctly. Strange that it would only start up now though, more than a year later.

Looks like you bought an installation, I'll take a look at it if you want to send it in.

Hey, thank you! I'll probably send it in. I shot you an email a day or so ago. Mind if I send in my other one too? That one is a bit more clear cut, the connectors for the USB are acting up to the point it will barely record.

And as far as sending it in goes, just use the address listed on the order page, yeah?

[loopy]

Yes, same address that's on the order page. You can send both.
