Battery light acting funny

I started noticing this a little while ago and I'm not even sure if it's related to my capture card, but I'll post it anyway to see if anyone has any suggestions.

1. If I have the card cable plugged into the DS and plug in the charger, it does not recognize the charger (the second light does not go on).
2. If I take the card cable out with the charger plugged in, it still does not recognize the charger.
3. If I do not have the card cable plugged in and then plug in the charger, it does recognize the charger (the light goes on).
4. If I were to unplug the charger after #3 while I still have the card cable the second battery light would remain on, even though the charger is not plugged in.

Also for what it's worth, a few days ago I took it apart to fix my X button and spray some compressed air at it. I've had the card for about 3 weeks now. Has anyone else had this problem?

It's hard to say what might have happened, since this was a self-install. The capture board shouldn't have any effect on how the charger works. Does the capture board still work normally?

The capture still works, and as far as I can tell it still charges normally (it's been plugged in and hasn't died in about four days since I noticed this), the light just acts weird.

By now I don't think it's a real problem, I'm just wondering what happened is all.
