Hacking I need to fix a NDS, any help, please?

[Tuxedo Kamen]

Well, basically I was flashing a fat DS for a friend, and we pulled the PassMe device. Now, every time we try to push a normal game inside, it doesn't hold in there, as the game is instantly thrown outside.

While I know that I need to open the DS in order to fix this, I don't know what exactly I need to do inside, in order to fix this problem. Can anyone help me with it?

The spring is a tricky thing (mine is currently absent from my DS, partially by choice though).
First get a watchmakers screwdriver or a toothpick (basically something small and fairly rigid), a torch and seeing if you can tweak the spring/plastic holder back to how it should be.
Alternatively (or if the method above does not work) the spring is enclosed under the DS cart slot: this will have to be desoldered if you wish to get at it and then you can re-set the spring.

There's no way to fix it that doesn't require soldering? I don't really like doing that kind of thing....

Anyone? Please? :|

Tuxedo: He did suggest a method that doesn't need soldering:

You say "We pulled the PassMe device", meaning, both of you pulled it or you dont want the full blame?

hey, I am not a native english speaker, and therefore my english is not perfect.

I understood when the other guy said:

But what is "a torch" supposed to be, and how can I use it? I know about a fire torch, but I doubt your talking about that. >_>

torch = flashlight

Apparently it's the british term. Not too sure about that, so don't quote me on it.

Hum, ok. Does anyone have a video showing how to do it? >_

Hum, just gave it a try, but I still can't manage to do it. Basically, it looks like this:

With the connections in the lower part, and a stuck black piece on the upper one. I think I would need to pull that black piece, but I can't find an effective way to do such task. Any ideas?
