Well, I finished flashing my new DSL just today, and I noticed a small bug I guess with my DSL and flashme...

When I power on, 50% of the time before the screen fades to the warning/DS menu screen, I can see bits of black lines or specks on the right side of my screen. Kinda like if you glitched a game and all these random 1-pixel length lines showed up.

So is this normal? I tried flash and stealth, but those short lines still can show at powerup...

I have not flashed my lite yet (because they are only released today in Europe). This sounds like a ds fault not a flashme fault, seeing as I have not heard any other reports of this happening. Anyone else care to shed some lite? (ha ha)

I have flashed 2 DS lites and have not had that problem. I would return the DS
Supercard SD, Sandisk 2 GB, AData  256 MB
Supercard One - 512MB Transcend
Pink DSL with flashme v8a Org-FW  haven't checked

one of my mates had that *exact* problem on a normal DS... it's definitely a hardware-fault!  same opinion here: exchange it.
ilver DS, White DSLite
Supercard(s) + FlashMe
512 MB digiBrain SD, 1GB SD

Mine does this sometimes but I don't think it's a faulty DS lite. I just think it does this because the DSL screen is brighter and it probably did it on the old DS but because of its darker screen we didn't notice it. I'm enjoying my DS lite right now and won't be taking it back in anycase. Everything else works great.

I've heard of this as well.   Sounds like a screen defect to me.
