Ds blackening my Laptop screen?

[Izzi1r]

So I was messing with the Pokewalker when I decided to look something up about it. I put the walker down and began using that hand to find what I needed. My other hand, holding the DS, lowered a bit and the top half of my DS tapped the touch pad area of my Laptop. The next thing I see is my screen going totally black instantly. After like 20 seconds I figured out my DS caused it and tapped it again. Tried it a few times to make sure it was because of the DS, which areas of the DS would cause it, and if the power being on mattered which apparently didn't. Anyone have any ideas as to why this happened? Maybe a small magnet within the DS top half?

A magnet? While computers aren't supposed to have magnets near them, it'll have to be a big one to screw it up.

Read the manual that came with the Pokewalker. It'll tell you if there could be any damage done to it.

Pokewalker had nothing to do with it. My DS top half was what did the damage.

True what he says, I don't do these things because they mess your game. Think before you do something, thats my advice.

The Pokewalker doesnt affect the laptop...if you randomly get your DS screen near the bottom edge of yer laptop it blackes the screen...why I dont know but I am sure its something sueable...FCC regulations and what not.

if it did ever happen to you again , plz restart it and press f8 to open safe mode and than go to unable vga mode , never ever tap your laptop .
