I bought a DSTT card to give to my little cousin as her birthday present, but for some reason her DS lite wouldn't read the card. My DS reads it and works fine on it, but it doesn't on hers. I tried my card in her DS and it wouldn't read it either. I switched out the micros and still nothing. It works on mine and it doesn't on hers. The DSTT i bought for her isn't a fake either i checked, its authentic.

I am confused as to why this would happen, so i wondered if it was something with her DS. More specifically, if hers couldn't use them. The DS she has is the ice blue one that came with the brain age bundle. I couldn't find anything that would get me to think that was the case but i am stumped and don't know what to do about it.

Thin card or folded paper, with my M3 Real I took it appart and added 2 strips of electrical tape behind the contacts to force them forward - this is a permenant fix as when you remove the flashcart you do not have to try and get the card back in the right place

Thanks for the advice, but i found the root of the problem. turns out that because mi little cousin can't take care of her things, two of the small metal strips that would make contact with the chip, are bent slightly. don't know if i can fix them. im gonna have to see what else i can do if the electric tape thing doesn't work.
