Hacking No blue LED! Please help!

[biovenger]

So, I got my brand new G6 Lite 3 today and was happy until I plugged it into an USB port. (Of course, I inserted the cart FIRST)

Everything seemed fine to a start, Windows XP says it found a new mass storage device, it installs it and I get a new drive in the "My Computer" folder labeled J. Ok, so far so good. There's no blue LED on the burner but I figure it worked anyway.

However when I tried to open it, it says there's no disc in the drive.

I see others have had problems with this, but none of their solutions worked for me. I've tested various other USB ports (12 different ports ranging across 3 computers, with and WITHOUT extension cable) and none of them work.

Any help? Or should I just send it back to the store I bought it from?

You can try this. Don't know if it works though.

Already tried that. Did no good... Wondering if it's a faulty product or not... Contacted customer support from SHOP01.Media.com but haven't got a reply yet. Hoping they will reply soon 'cause I'm really itching to try a NDS flasher.

Of course if your G6 is brand new and has never worked then it could be more serious, to reiterate my G6 had always worked but then became unrecognised by the PC.

You could have a faulty USB burner and without access to a second, you cant find out. When I say burner I am refering to the white USB plug that the G6 slots into with the, when working blue LED.

Maybe the board isn't lined out right, so try to open it and look if its lined out and maybe even try to switch the color of the cartridge.

Yeah, green usually works for me.

Before you send your drive back try a couple of things. First reboot your computer and start over again to see if something may have been conflicting with the drive. Also, try to install it in another USB port than the one you used the first time. Make sure it is a direct usb port.

If that doesn't work. Find another computer and see if you have success on another computer. You wouldn't want to replace it only to find out the problem was with your computer. It looks like you have tried this.

It may just be a bad chip. The many messages about problems with this drive seems to tell me that there is a quality problem with the flash drives that have been sent to some people.

Good luck. I hate when things like that happen.
