If a SC does "brick" one of your DSs you only need to bridge fuse F2.

The SupercardSD and superkey I ordered from realhotstuff
works PERFECTLY! (on my lite)

I flashed my DS Lite with a Superpass 2 SE, and Supercard Mini-SD

I'm one of the customers that had to return my DS Lite and get it replaced. Luckily I had the extended warranty from EB so they just exchanged it for a new one.

I saw the comments about bend pins and I'm wondering if that's potentially what happend? I don't have the Supercard CF anymore as I sent it back for refund (I did get a Supercard SD just for my GBA from Real Hot Stuff, thx guys, works great!).

I did not try flashing, I really just copied one game to it and attempted to fire up for the first time. I can say though that the CF card did not easily glide in to place like the SD version.

Don't know, but everything worked out, just waiting for my return to get back to Real Hot Stuff. They are a really great company, highly recommended. Like I said, even with the first problem, I bought another card from them!

It's good to have one of the example here. I will check the CF returned from you to see if I can find anything wrong. I may open up the case to fin d if any of the pin is bent. I have few DSLs left but I am not going to touch them since they are for sale and I do not want to screw them up. I'll let everyone know if I find out anything.

I bought mini supercard from them and no problem with my ds lite so far. I trust Realhotstuffs

realhotstuff · July 07, 2006, 11:57:23 PM

I got the return from one of them who had problem. Tried it on my DS (not DSL) without having any problems. I have no clue why it happened to them.

I had a problem with a supercard MINI in my DS LITE, I bought 2 supercard minis from a source on ebay, and one of the supercards worked fine, but the other, when my brother started using it in his DS lite, worked fine the first two times he powered it on, but on the third time, it just stopped turning on, the only response you could get from the DS was to plug it in, and it would flash red for 1 second then the charging light would turn off. no response no matter what, I think this indicates that a fuse is blown on the DS. I thought it was just my brother's DS was defective, since my supercard mini had worked perfectly for a few days. so I tried his supercard mini in my wife's DS lite, and it worked the first time, but when i went back to use her DS lite again, it had the same symptoms, it would simply NOT turn on. I am certain it was the supercard mini, luckily both my brother and wife had their 30 day warranties intact.
Im lucky I didnt put it in my DS lite because it surely would have killed it and mine is japanese and there are NO returns

So beware, I think it is rare, but supercards if functioning incorrectly can blow the fuse in your DS!

PS.. I verfied, and these were actual Supercard minis, with the battery inside, they werent the fake ones.

I received a SuperCard today from www.SuperCardStore.com and it works as it shoould with my Lite. I have flashed it with SuperCard 1 hour ago.

Lol, confirmed... Supercard/Superkey works great on NDS Lite.... 15 sets of Supercard MiniSD/Superkey have passed through my hand so far... no one returned them due to damage or anything else like that ....

AndY1 · July 13, 2006, 03:00:50 AM

I flashed another 2 DS Lites with SuperCard and it's all OK.

Those 2 DS Lites also have SuperCards of their own and they all work as they should.

I got the other supercard (miniSD) back from my customer and it killed my DS as well. The DS will not power on now and I'll have to send it back to Nintendo for repair. I've seen it myself now and I am convinced it is a defective supercard. In case anyone having same problem, this did happen.
