Hello!

I have a non-Lite DS and an M3 SD (first design) and I've been experiencing some problem the last days.
The M3 was working very weel. I noticed that the screw on the M3 was a little bit unscrewed so the two part of the casing were moving a little. I decide to rescrew it, but then, my M3 wasn't booting everytime (black screens or hang after "This product is not supported by..."), almost 5 out of 10 tries.
After some more test, it is obviously a pin contact problem between the M3 and the GBA slot (not the with the SD, because it doesn't boot even with no SD in it).
I tried to find a good screw/case/pcb position and now, it seems ok, but I don't think that it will not bug again.

Did anyone encountered the same problem? Is there a good way to solve this problem excepting buying a new one?

I hope for M3 owners that other M3 model are better made.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?

    Yes it requires a degree

    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
