Gaming Nds is freezing.

[titen96]

I have an old Nintendo DS(Crimson Black) and whenever i turn it on it plays fine for a while but then it freezes, after a while of this happening i noticed that it only happens when a little pressure is put on the bottom right part of it, is there a way to fix it, i am getting a triwing screwdriver from shoptemp in a few weeks and i want to find out if there is a way to fix it.

EDIT:Here are Some Images taken from my phone, i think they are too dark though

What game are you playing/with what flash card? Does it do it with every game?

 

[titen96]

with everything even when it turns on the health screen freezes so i ruled out anti piracy

 

[Son of Science]

Maybe something is out of place on the inside then. When it freezes, exactly how much pressure are you applying? Like enough to feel the case smoosh?

 

[titen96]

atually if i press on the nds a a little bit on a flat surface on the bottom right part of it it freezes, it also happens if it shakes, that's why i chose to get a screwdriver to open it up and see it, but i don't know what to do once i get it

but i don't know what to do once i get it

Post pictures, and hopefully it'll be clearer to us

It sounds like there's a loose connection somewhere.

 

[titen96]

ok i'll post pictures

Have you tried removing both games (DS and GBA) before switching on, and then replicating this? Because the DS does freeze if you remove the game whilst it is turned on... so it could be related?

 

[titen96]

yes i have done this

 

[BORTZ]

Ha, warm it up/sarcasm

Um does it even do it without a card?

The cart is probably not making good contact. Try the paper trick. Link

 

[titen96]

isaid yes it does freeze withoput one thing in it

 

[Sephxus]

It could be many things. Post a video or some photos.

they are being uploaded now,my computer's speed sucks

 

[titen96]

Man, that's one pretty banged up DS you got there.

 

[titen96]

i know i've had for a few years and it's gone through some of my younger siblings and i have replaced it, but i want to fix it so i could play this game with my brother

I don't know about fixing it but how about just giving up and buying a new one ? I don't know how can anyone even enjoy their DS when it's in a condition like that - freezing or not. 69 bucks for a refurbished DSL from gamestop doesn't seem too bad .. Or 99 for a new one.

 

[anton134]

buy a new one?
or just pretend its not freezing (think its natural)

get ninty to fix it for you?
