I've been trying to get my mini sd card to work trying pushing it and stuff and now my ds won't even switch on. I've pluged it into the wall and switch the charger on and the orange light goes on then off and still won't work. I don't know how i could of bricked it the SC won't even read.

Any help?

Your DS can only be bricked if it was flashed. Was yours?

Twist

Nope, I recieved my SC and mini-SD card today and i've been having problems with the card being recognised by the SC. There were no files on it and it had been working before. It just said SD card cannot be found and switched off. It hasn't came back no since.

Could this be a problem with the battery? I can't test this yet, as I don't have a screwdriver handy.

sounds like you blew a fuse...search the forums on how to fix it

It is a faulty power supply, either your battery's toast or the fuses blew.
As you just plugged in new hardware that wasn't functioning correctly I guess it shorted the DS and the fuses blew.

Right thanks for the info guys. Know what i'm doing now. Does that mean there is something wrong with my SC then? Do I need to open that up and fix it too?

Does this mean that a pin is bent or broken in my SuperCard? Will it be possible to open it up to check and fix it, or should I ask for new product from the supplier?
