Hacking Nintendo ds lite - brick

[ExtremeX]

Hello,

So i recently found my old nintendo ds lite (black) and i wanted to start it up again etc, it worked fine loaded gba games and ds games which i have original, but i also had an m3 ds real flash card, so i try'd to download the firmware on a site called 4flashkaarten dont try to go there to use the firmware for the m3 ds real since it doesn't work and it will brick your system.
When i copied everything to my micro sd card and i put the thing back in the m3 ds real i put it in my ds started it up and it loaded up and i was like nice! it asked me what langauge i wanted to have so i clicked my langauge, it went to install mode or w/e it did and suddenly my ds shutted down and it is not turning on anymore. The only thing that happens when i turn it on is the bottom screen flickering white for a second and directly turns the ds lite off, it didn't had any issue and worked perfectly fine... is there a solution i could unbrick my ds? Or is it bios related/fuses which are blown up? Hopefully someone could enlighten me up what the issue is, thanks!

does the ds-lite turn on if the m3 ds real isn't inserted? if it still boots up then you could use this alternative firmware for your m3 ds real https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/ i have the same card and this firmware works very good.

Yes the ds lite does turn on but it doesn't boot, it just flickers a white screen for a second then instantly shuts down, so i don't see anything else when booting it up except the 1 second white screen on the bottom screen, weird thing is the ds was fine until i used that particular software idownloaded and when i installed it when the m3 ds real asked me to pick a langauge it shutted down suddenly. So idk if it's hardware related now that it broke or software related

Ye i am not sure what the issue is, but the ds worked fine before i tryd to install it with m3 ds real so i don't think it is a hardware issue more a firmware of the ds issue itself? I don't know resets for the ds sadly, hopefully someone else knows it i guess?

Hey so i tried to turn my ds lite on again and guess what? It works again, is this a power issue of some sort? Or a failing screen? It's so weird cause it started to flicker a white screen when i tried to put it on and then turn off directly.. but now it works again, which is amazing though! but what is the reason it acts like this?

Great that it works again. i keep my fingers crossed that this malfunction won't happen again soon.
