    So I tried to install FlashMe on both my DS Phat and Lite, and it worked PERFECTLY on the Phat, taking less than a minute! But when I tried to do the same for the DS lite, it was a lot harder and got stuck often. When I finally reached 92%, the console shut off! The weird thing is, the SL1 tool wasn't in the console, and the thing was plugged in with a battery still in the console. Now the system won't turn on, and when I try to plug in the charger, the light flashes for less than a second then goes off again. Can someone tell me how to fix this issue? Thanks!

    Not sure if it works with slot1 but it will work with slot2, I've successfully used recovery after failed flashme installs even at 5% or so.

    The console won't power on AT ALL. Not even with that button combo. Blown fuse?

    I've even tried swapping WiFi boards/BIOS boards with another (junk) DS lite. Nothing. Still won't boot. I'm thinking its really a dead fuse or two...

    it's a blown fuse...
    it happened to me during flashme..
    my guess is accidentally touched the other contacts while trying to use a screw driver to short the contact..

    Quick update: bridged the fuses with some solder, and the charging light now stays on, but the console still won't power on at all

    Nope...
    EDIT: Forgot to mention, my other (non-flashed) Lite also has the charging but no power on issue if that helps.

    Thats weird that it bricked like this...usually replacing wifi board and/or fuses helps. I probably won't be able to help any further, never has such problems with ds lites that I installed flashme on.

    Nothing at all, but I bridged the fuses with some solder, and the orange light comes on when charging, but no green power light or anything.
