Last night my DS Lite suddenly had a strange problem. Both screens turned a bright white. I had been soft-resetting trying to RNG abuse for the first time.
I thought at first my game had just frozen. I turned it off, took the game out, reinserted it, and turned it back on. Once again the two screens were bright white. I thought the brightness just got stuck too high, and tried tapping the lower corner of the touch screen. It changed the brightness, and I noticed that the screen seemed "faint", I could tell that what should be on the screen was there, and was acctually more noticeable if I tilted the DS looking at it at an angle.
So, basically I can tell that my DS is "working" in that I can start it up, I can start a game up, and all the buttons are working... but the screen is just not functioning correctly.
I have never dropped my DS, or mishandled in anyway.
Is there a way to adjust contrast as well as brightness? I am convinced this should be an easy, although admitedly probably obscure fix. I have searched all over the internet and all I can find is references so a "white screen of death" co-inciding with use of action replay, which I was not using at the time this occured. Also this sounds different than the white screen of death as I can still see "some" screen details.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix or at least have a guess?
I DO have a original DS as well, wich I had bought used with a broken hinge and I only use at home for trading between my pokemon games. I really want my DS Lite working so I have something I can take around with me.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Ringo
