Hacking Bricked ds doesn't start in recovery mode

[Deleted User]

I have a ds with flashme on it and a M3 mini sd, but it bricked when i played brain age ( i don't know why it bricked :'( ).
So i wanted to boot in recovery mode but it doesn't boot

Someone know why?

Same as before...

Test the F1 and F2 fuse, search for a pic in the forum.

if its blow, bridge it.

What are the F1 and F2 fuse?

You might want to check your mini-sd card and the slot it goes into for bent and misaligned pins.
This may have caused your brick.

no way your system bricked just by playing brain age. there's no firmware writes in that game at all... can you not even boot your DS up with nothing in it?

no, i can't boot it, the screens just stay black.

There's no firmware writes in ANY game.
He's blown a fuse. Most likely due to a short from his flashcart/mini-SD.

Do you get any power at all, do you get the power light?, if you do I very much doubt that you have blown the fuse, it must be something else.

 

[bobbyblunt]

If you have blown a fuse make sure you find out what blew it before you bridge it. Otherwise you may end up blowing your DS completely as there'll be no fuse to save you this time.

The power light work, but i still have waranty and i have flashme stealth. I think i'm going to return the ds

Recovery mode won't work if there is anything in the DS slot. Make sure there is nothing there, then retry recovery mode

That sucks, you voided warranty, rec mode wont work. ehh. Buy a new ds

i'm still going to try to bring him back..

 

[Shinseiki]

you can try, many people have done that and they got a fresh DSL

 

[corbs132]

TECHINCALLY you voided your warantee. nobody notices, i know people who returned a flashme brick without even a question.

I just made a tutorial for people with blown fuses

How about using rosin core solder instead of wire?

Actually, WFC games do write something to the firmware (the WFC settings, that's why you don't have to enter them on every game)

 

[fischju_original]

you beat me too it! i was about to say that, you can brick your ds if you try to get online with old flashme, can't you?
