Hello, Wiggy, I still haven't opened the back. I fell asleep and didn't wake up until after 4am. so tired lately.
I will look at it this afternoon.
I downloaded the operation manual and I will look at the Nintendo site as well.
I feel that it could be a corruption of system data that causes it to crash. Perhaps a factory reset will fix the problem.
otherwise, it may be something more like the digitizer.
I just have to remember that it is not a PC, so I cannot apply the same troubleshooting methods.
I'd like to fix the system for this girl because it is her daughter's DS and she is sad that it is not working.

anyway, I will post after further inspection.
Thank You for helping.

edit:
no error code. just switches to a black screen and shows the message that I had posted earlier.
The manual suggests that I call customer service.

wiggy:
Let me know if you end up needing parts at all. I have quite a few parts systems sitting around.

taigr81m:
Hello, Wiggy, Thank You for the kind gesture, you are a good friend. I will let you know as soon as I can work on it. I have been so busy since February. I am mentally exhausted. I had to configure a firewall and a gateway router today. I have to install the firewall and 6 routers tomorrow, so time is short. I will drink some coffee now and relax a few minutes, then I will tinker with the DS. I didn't expect the firewall to arrive until Monday, so I am behind with work now. Anyway, Thank You for helping me. I will try to find the problem, then go from there. If I need any parts, I'll let you know and we'll discuss cost and shipping if the girl wants to replace the part(s). I understand that she wants to buy a new one, so I'll have to convince her to not waste it and just repair it. I'll be back later if I find something soon. I'll finish disassembling it and look around.

taigr81m:
just finished peeking at it and I think that I've identified the source of the problem to be the WiFi card. I've disconnected the antenna and the DS functions normal. She is happy using it without WiFi but I told her that I'd ask you if you have a spare card and how much would you want for it?

wiggy:
Oh I'm sure I do. Lemme look. If so, like 5 bucks shipped.
