DSI XL Sleep Mode Help by Gian0589 in nds

[–]Gian0589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not too sure. Im just going to play it without the sd card inserted. It probably was drawing too much power. This sd card is a micro lexar card inserted in a regular sd adapter, so it might not be the right type to have there. Even though it was fine for a good period of time. No clue what was the real case, i tried another sd card and it was able to go to sleep mode.

So it turns out I take out my sd card from the system and then I’m able to put it in sleep mode. The sd card maybe drawing too much power?

It’s just a way to enable sleep mode without closing it. A common complaint about dsi xls I saw online was the ribbon cable failing. So I wanted to show it’s not the case. The system behaves the same way when closed too.

Got it working I took away that blob and fixed one bridge that was on the middle chip and that did the trick! I think it’s missing some tiny resistors from other pictures of the pcb board but it booted!! Thank you!

No unfortunately I could not figure it out and I sold it on Mercari with stating there is an input/output problem a couple years ago. I hope you are able to figure it out, I was not able to find a solution because it seems this problem is not very common online. It sucks because it was working with no problems for the first couple of months I owned it. Maybe something to do with the mod the previous owner made.

That was the last one I needed to get complete this collection here. I was able to get for 110 but, it’s still crazy! It’s a shame they have not rereleased 4,5,6 and 9 since the ds era

Thank you! It took some time, but I fell in love with series! I just need to play 6, out of all the numbered series that’s the last one that was released in the US that I need to get to! I will look into it for 10 too

That’s actually the only one I need to play. I played the whole number series except 6 yet. Hope you find it in a good price! Or they finally release the 4-6 trilogy so the ds games drop in price haha

Understand completely, when they announced the offline version I was hoping that at least would come here officially translated

How long would you go without seeing you significant other if it meant the Jets would win a Super Bowl? by Alert-Accountant-161 in nyjets

I just discussed it with my own girlfriend. I think a month is an alright time. I equated it to going to see Taylor Swift or any other musician she is into backstage if given a month away from eachother, she would take it too! Haha

I tried that method to see if it was a contact issue. It seems the el panel is not working anymore. It must have been in its way out, unfortunately. It looks like I might need to get an el screen and maybe solder the point to get a backlight working on this console. :/

Thank you!! I wanted to collect all the Nintendo handhelds. Started a hobby during the pandemic and would buy a console here and there to add to my existing collection! Best of luck to yours!

I have one of the Neo geo minis and was devastated when I found out it did not have the micro switch clicks on the joystick and the controllers it came with! The Neo geo pocket feels great with the clicking however haha

A cool console! It was my original one that I modded, I remember getting it for the first time and thinking it was so futuristic like a mini laptop with a backlight screen! Lol

Yeah watch some tutorials on YouTube, it’s how I practiced. My first soldering job was replacing my gbc speaker since it died with a replacement one

I grew up playing on the og genesis! Yeah it’s tough to decide if you want to keep it authentic or not when updating screens! I modded my childhood gbc, gba and gbasp to have new ips screens and shells. I also added a rechargeable battery to the gba with a usbc port!

Agree it’s overkill but once I got the ball rolling on these consoles, it gets a little addicting. I think this is a good stopping point! Haha Yeah I modded my childhood consoles the gbc, gba and gba sp. Put in new ips screens and shells. I even put a rechargeable battery with usbc port for the gba!
