Hacking Supercard DS One rarely starts up when DS turns on

[triplej3k]

My SCDS One used to work perfectly, but recently I have ran in to some problems. When I turn on my DS Lite now it doesn't automatically go to the SC menu, it just boots up like it normally would with no DS cartridge inserted. I have to turn my DS on and off many, many times for it to finally work, but I usually just give up and come back to it later hoping it will randomly work that time. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? I really want to use it but I am beginning to be tempted to buy an R4 just so I can use it without a hassle!

edit: This is also the first version of the DS One card.

I had a similar problem with my SC lite. Try re-inserting the cartridge, then turning the ds on. You could also try cleaning the metal contacts, but be carful, as it might damage the SC one.

I forgot to mention I do remove the cartridge and reinsert it when I try to get it to work, and the contacts have been gently cleaned and it has worked occasionally after that. I hope I can figure this out.

Would flashing my DS Lite have any effect in fixing this?

when booting up the nintendo ds leave it on the health warning screen for a couple of more secs.

Hm, when I try this it just eventually goes to the normal DS screen and shows no cartridge inserted like it normally does if a Supercard is in there.

i thought that would help because sometimes when i skip the health screen to fast ym flash cards dont show up

however i dont own a supercard one.

This happens to me once a month or so. Try blowing in the contacts in the DS(like in the good ole days with SNES and NES). Or clean the contacts on the micro sd.

I tried cleaning some more and still no luck.

never blow your electronics, they may get a bit wet, I use a vacum cleaner from a distance and it's OK

 

[TLSpartan]

that is the most wrong sounding post ive heard today

 

[kersplatty]

throwing it didnt work, im a go send mine back since its under two year warranty

Hope you get a working replacement this time, and i agree that xabier's post sounds a bit wrong too. Whats wrong with blowing on the contacts? Unless you spit on it its gonna be dry and fine.
