Yesterday my DS Lite started turning off when you close the lid rather than going into stand by.
This happens if there is a cart, flash cart or no cart inserted into the DS.
Normally when you close the lid the screens turn off and the right shoulder LED periodically flashes. When you open the lid the LED turns on fully and both screens are lit.
However, now when I close the lid both screens turn off and the system also turns off. There is no shoulder LED flash and the system does not restart when you open the lid and you have to manually turn it on again, hence losing any unsaved progress.
The battery is charged and this happens if the DS is charging or not.
I have been having a search for any info but I don't seem to be finding much in the way of causes/solutions and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced or heard of this?
I bought my DS second hand so must be well over 2-3 years old now. I have never replaced the battery in this time, could this be any thing to do with it?
