So here's the deal, guys.
I've had the original R4 for years now, and it's worked fine.
Now, today, it's stopped working.
I turn on my DS lite and it starts, but it never gets past the "Loading..." screen.
Of course this has happened before, the usual solutions are defragmenting, formatting, etc.
That isn't working.
I've spent the past 6 hours trying everything I could think of,
defragmenting,
reformatting,
using different microsd cards,
using different firmwares (original R4 vs Wood R4)
blowing into the microsd card slot,
blowing into the DS slot,
using a different DS lite,
but still, I just get the same screen.
Loading...
Something odd that I noticed, though, was that when the microSD card isn't in the slot, it doesn't give me the usual "couldn't find SD/TF card!" error.
It just stays on the loading screen.
I opened the cart up, nothing seemed to be wrong, but I've never actually messed with any sort of SD card slots to begin with, so maybe I just don't know what I should be looking for.
Any ideas?
What should I do?
(And no, I don't need or want a different kind of card.
This one's good enough for me at the moment.)
