I don't know if anyone remembers but...


I bought a used DS Lite, the mic worked at first but broke later on for some reason (just stopped detecting sound at all). At first I had no clue why... Untill now.

To replace this used one, I bought a brand new one...

This ones mic just stopped working today... Then I realized I had used the same headset on both. It was bought on clearance from target. They do not sell them anymore(we bought the last one). The brand was skull candy. This really the only reasonable common factor I can think of that cause this.

The only other common factors are:

I used an acekard.

What could have caused this? Could it have been the headset?

Yea, happened to me too - my DSL mic stopped working after using headphones.
Now I'm scared to use headphones on my DSi haha.
Well, if you have a headset, then I guess it wouldn't be a problem for you, there aren't many games that use the mic, so each time you do need it, just connect the headset for a couple minuets.

I replaced the DS Lite, but I want to avoid this one from breaking. The only headphones I used were the ones on the headset...

They look like earbuds with a mic on them.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
