Well, once again my M3 lite perfect has stopped working, it is recognized by the ds in slot-2, it will boot, run the gba start-up, but then the screen turns black and does nothing, passcard will start to boot, but will turn black shortly after shutting off the top screen. Any one know what's going on? I've been trying to fix this for over a month, it was working on and off, but now it won't run at all...
here's what i thought of:
1. copy the contents of your card onto your comp.
2. reformat the card. (FAT16, which is just "FAT" i think?)
3. get the newest firmware and put it on your card. nothing else.
4. run m3 lite as usual.
5. read prompt, install firmware.
6. wait.
7. blah.... if step 5 works, you don't need any more help.
if this doesn't work, we eliminated the possibility of a bad microsd.
so now:
1. open up the m3 and see if anything looks wrong.
a. clean the contacts and so forth.
Ω. try it in a gba [if you have one].
♥. ghetto fix it. Θ. google:(m3 lite not working). [or search engine of choice]

nintenut:This is going to sound a bit odd, but it works, put your lips around the trigger and blow really hard, it works.
bee_cup: My DS Lite L button don't work...
nintenut: Put your mouth on it and blow, gets the dust out, and sounds obscene!
Thank you very much for replying, you have no idea how many times i've tried the first 5 steps :P
I tried the second list but nothing works... I think it's defective, I think i'm gonna have to return it...
*update* Dangit, divineo won't take it back, i'll have to buy another... Is gameyeah reliable?
