Title: Mayor problem with DS hardware after playing Animal Crossing
Post by: Spippy on December 29, 2005, 12:49:43 PM
I live in the Netherlands and ordered Animal Crossing in the US (we have to wait until 31 March here).
The game starts up and plays without any problem. After my first play session I saved my progress and pressed the power off button. After trying to restart the DS only the green powerlight lights up. It's not blinking so it's not in sleep mode. Both screens are blank. I don't hear any sound. My DS has crashed completely.
A friend of mine didn't believe this was possible and started up the game with the same result: total crash! What now? Anyone knows what to do? Or should I throw away my DS and buy a PSP? ;-)

Call Nintendo. Nintendo handhelds have no region lock so provided that isn't some hacked copy of AC, that shouldn't happen.

Maybe try popping out the battery and putting it back in?

I have a mayor problem in Animal Crossing, too. He keeps telling me there's a countdown to New Years, he won't shut up.

My mayor problem is that he wears pink long underwear...At least, that's what one of my female villagers said...Wait, how does she know that? ;_;

I tried that already, but it doesn't work. Maybe something is wrong with the firmware?

Try Nintendo's Tech support. The DS has a 1-year warranty, so yours may still be coverd.

Flash memory doesn't lose its data on power loss, that's the whole point. I'd expect the firmware to be damaged.
