I was trying to on my nds, but I couldn't.
I keep pushing the button, nothing is appearing.
The red light is on, instead of green light.
So, i thought the console is running out of battery.
I charged it for 24hrs yet its still not working.

Does anyone know what's the problem?

does it work with the charger cable connected?

Nope

it could be the battery is dead

When you charge, is the light on?

I just bought this console 3 months ago.
I went back to the seller, he told me warranty over.
Don't want help me to fix and want to charge me

Does the red light on (on the top right corner) when you charge? I'm thinking it's a dead charger

Yes. It's on.
Both of the lights are on. Left light is darker red, whereas the right one is lighter.

warranty over? that's odd. i tot new unit got 1 year warranty.

im pretty sure thats the battery is dead.

try la changing the battery with ur friend if they hv a ds too

Tried. Same situation.

Ya, It suppose to be 1 year warranty.
I bought it from Top Games/ Games House.
Yet, when the console has problem, its only 2 months old.
He denied to fix it for me.

I send it for service in Midvalley, they told me this isn't original console.
As in not original manufactured.

refurbished set ?

No idea.
All the buttons are different from mine.

Indeed, this console that is having problem is not mine. Its my friend's.
Just helping her to check out.

a pict would've help

if that seller hv a sales thread here, u should at least report it to the admins.

pity ur friend though.

He has. I wrote about this in his post. and he called me up and scolded me up.
How am i suppose to report this to admins?

open up a WTC thread here:

http://forum.lowyat.net/TradeZoneHelpdesk&...esolutionCorner

Put a proper user id / name / address of the person u want to report and reason for you doing so. State as clearly as possible.

put it under the sales dispute area
http://forum.lowyat.net/TradeZoneHelpdesk&...esolutionCorner

not original manufactured??
a pic would tells a thousand word tho...

Sry, Its kinda blur

err better recapture the pic @_@

game house top games? gosh last time i was about to buy wii from him, good things i bought from kyo

anyway a better pict please

ya, we want to see how's the button different from other nds

I'll post it tmrw. I can't get a better look of it with my hp camera.

If you says that the buttons are different..

You should take the pictures of the buttons too as well~

anyway, take better picture this time..

dude.is top games games house is at pj?
in the cold storage?

is this ?
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1195057

Will do. My hp's camera can't produce a better image.

Yes. I complaint before in his thread.
He closed the thread.

Don't buy stuff from him. His service is so lousy and never admit his own fault.
Ask him to compensate or ganti another new console. He say we are trying to cheat him.
WTF!!!
If I want to cheat him, I'll cheat ps3 or games that are worth more.

yeah.stay away from that shop

my friend buy xbox 360 modded from him.they msj via phone
the seller said got 1 year warranty, and also got 2 black controller if add up another rm100.overall price that time was rm 1480
then when we came to that shop.it only written 1 month warranty.wth?we don't complain as the guy was not there.only a girl,so we thought she don;t know much and was reallyt excited to play at that time.can't wait any longer..then they should have the xbox package ready bcause we already book the item,but the girl give white xbox controller bcause she said that black already out of stock.

then,we came another day to get the xbox controleer black which was promised then wtf.he said must add another rm 15 or rm 10 with 2 of his game.then my fren just give rm 10 with the games.bcasue the shop its not really near.we thought he could be trusted bcause he replying sms quite fast.
and there one more thing.the seller said the xbox don't need bootdics just 1 day before my fren buy.then when we are at his shop,he say must use bootdisc(must add another rm 10)

and i think the xbox got problem too.bcause most of his game can be played,but games from other shop.some can;t be played.eventhough after using bootdisc
last time my friend xbox which was 3rod now.can play every game he buy from other shop.a bit weird.

actually i already reccomended my fren to buy at ps zone,smartchocie or bangsar shoping centre or bernard at pertama but all those shops was quite far

and just few weeks after that.xbox no need bootdics and get free hdmi cable at the price of rm 1280+.
this we can't really blame him bcause other shop also got near the same price.sux.should have buy it later.

wow, that shop really bad lar, good things i didn't buy wii from him.

anyway TS, please update the DS pict. i recommend to not using flash just take the pict in well lit room

did u guys open up a WTC thread yet against this shop? at least make ur voices heard la and don't let them get away with this.

wow I though Top Games was a trusted seller but guess i'm wrong then, actually you can even make a report to consumer tribunal for this

As requested, clearer image.
I'm using macro angle lense, so for some part, you guys have to mix and match.
Sorry for that.

hv u created the WTC thread?

What's the point?
Its not like i'll get back my money. I bought 2 console from him, 1 for my friend, 1 for myself.
Mine was faulty after 1 month usage, i fix it at another shop since he says that warranty over.
For some reasons, i sold the console. Last month, the buyer complain and give me back the console.
He say the flash card is not functioning, battery can't be charged, and the button is loosen.
I've no choice but to get back from him and lost rm200.

Originally, i bought the console @ rm1000 for 2 sets.

I ask him for warranty service, he say no such thing.
Then i say since like that, i want to reject.
I told him i want silver set and red set, he gave me guitar hero version and mario version.
And the mario version 1, is not really mario version. Its just red colour without the mario logo and pictures.

What should i do to this unreliable and untrusted seller.

Added on January 28, 2010, 6:39 pmYes! I ask him for best price for nds games. He scolded me, what's the point of getting ori games. Use dl games.
I was so pissed off.

at least he will not do business here again and people will know how bad his services are. as long nobody said a word..he will surely strike again.

many ppl outside this nintendo thread still didn't know about this and we can't do the reporting coz it didn't happen to us since we don't hv any history with him.

unless, u're ok with how he do his business...not saying anything is a sign of consent.

Agreed with you. Posted complaints

good for u

might be those cheap refurbished set that is sold in dealextreme where they combine spare parts into one

dear TS, urs NDS is a fake version

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north-east-...03-22412528/i3/

I was referring here and saw at ur serial number, there a barcode.

and again for comparison, this is my DS

Thanks for your info.
If i were to argue with him, will i get back my funds?
I bought 2 consoles from him.

This post has been edited by Kellyyhx: Jan 28 2010, 08:16 PM

tiem to bash that store

Added on January 28, 2010, 8:17 pmwell, u could try

This post has been edited by viledante: Jan 28 2010, 08:17 PM

Yeah. Wonder what's the original price for that FAKE console.
Well, I will. It's money.
Furthermore, i need money to fix it and compensate my friend.
Feel bad for recommending her such a lousy seller and unreliable.
Selling fake stuff here.
Moderator should block him

People already spreading words about the injustice, hope you can get a satisfying compensation.

Thanks, I saw the post.

Yes, selling fake items are not allowed here. If you have sufficient proof, click on report on his sales thread.

As far as I know there's no completely red DS Lite except the limited edition Mario Red DS Lite. Is your friend's unit look like this?

I checked with my Mario NDSL, the LR buttons, the tag are completely different, confirmed fake

no nid to check that, even the serial number have barcode above it.

guys, i doubt the DS is a fake just based on the barcode

Mine was bought few years ago, US version, black, and there's a barcode on the serial number, and I even successfully registered the serial at Nintendo Club

The website vildante provided doesn't really proves the existence of FAKE DS, the so called FAKE DS actually is US region DS, where can be seen clearly from the serial number, and the one they are comparing is the UK version. If you look under the Jap version, again it's different.

The website call it fake just bcos of bad 3rd party power adaptor. Remember the US DS came with 110V power adapter only, whereas UK is using 220/240V power, so in order to sell the US set in UK, you'll have to replace the 110V with the 220V 3rd party adaptor.

In the case of TS, i believe the DS is a GENUINE NDS from NINTENDO, but most likely is a refurbished set sold as new, some of the refurbished set they changed the case and the buttons, and also the battery.

one way to check if it's refurbished or not, check the screws, got any scratched mark on it or not, brand new one should have any, and also open up the battery compartment and check the battery to see if it's genuine battery from Nintendo. and also check the packaging.

There's no FAKE NDS, there's only re-furbished NDS sold as new.
But if confirms it's re-furbished, then the seller also is a conman and doesn't deserve sell his items here in LYN anymore.

then refurbished it is

cause gundam did said the casing diff from his, so its make that the casing has been change with a 3rd party casing.

No. The whole thing is red. Without the M logo

Its not the matter of genuine or fake.
Its the matter of warranty and trustworthy. He's selling faulty set and he don't want to give me any service.
Yet, I just realize that he didn't ever give me a warranty card.

It can't be brand new original as PM has suggested, all red NDSL comes with M logo. So there are 2 possibilities:

1. Fake NDSL
2. Recon NDSL with buttons and casing replaced

Either way it's a con case.

Thanks for the comments.
Since its proven that its not a brand new original one.
I will consider for police report

This post has been edited by Kellyyhx: Jan 29 2010, 03:00 PM

wise decision don't let these kind of ppl ruins your day, make sure submit a consumer tribunal report too police can't really help you to get refund or compensation only consumer tribunal can

Just check with a shop in Midvalley.
Shop keeper told me that it's not battery problem, but screen.
She claim that if its battery problem, lights won't turn on.

Any suggestion where should i fix it?
Since Top Games won't be offering me any warranty or service.
I rather pay more and let other do it for me. Rather that seeing his jerk face.

try bringing it to bernard at gamer's solution city bazaar in front of pertama complex.

Seconded. My black USA DSL has a barcode over the serial number and it's genuine. Should be a refurb unit rather than a fake unit.

Just sharing my 2 cents with you regarding the bootdisc.

The old xbox with falcon chip does not require the play new games or old games.

As for the xbox with Jasper chip ( the new xbox for now), normally requires bootdisc for some of the new games and it may not be able to play some of the old games too.

Got to know about this from a friend of mine who sells console in Summit. Hope it helps.

summit usj is it ?
all those shops a bit lembap.
i asked every week also all that guy say must use bootdics(most of the shops)

most of the other shops now(jasper) nno need bootdisc now.u can refer here

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1072415
even the top games who the TS called a conman also no need to use bootdisc for jasper

they even provide service to mod if u don't want to use bootdisc.


i think summit usj all old stock.before january stock

btw, Kelly...

I works in Jaya One.

There were 2 Game Shops above Cold Storage... which shop is this?

is this the one selling only games+console (which is inside)?

or the one got sell handphones+phone accessories (which is nearer to the outside)?

anyway, I've visited both last week... both looks dodgy to me.

This post has been edited by penman: Feb 7 2010, 01:22 AM

ts problem solve d???

what's the mod take on it anyway? did Top Games get a dispute tag?

or at least his account banned or his thread deleted.

i mean...sometimes some sales thread n account just got deleted on the fly even without a dispute thread created against a person

i thought unit will have 1 year warranty ?
hmm i have bad experience too .. bought the ds then 1 month later.. found out the button got some issue so went backt o dMAll... and found out the shop... bankrupt +_+
aiks...

adv.. buy from bigger / reliable shop

The one that sells handphones & accessories.
Look likes some decoration shop

Unfortunately, mod didn't take any action.
That's why i'm getting inactive in LYN.

Moderator didn't bother to take any action.
Indirectly, they're suppose to be responsible on all these unreliable seller.

Yes, it suppose to have 1 year warranty.
But since they're selling refurbished/fake set.
They couldn't afford to offer more warranty than 3 months as the console might have problem any time


Furthermore, this isn't my console.
I'm posting on behalf of my friend.

Mine was original version.
Bought it from reliable seller.

I once bought a fake NDS game as well. from Midvalley

that's why i'm so pissed off sometime.

they said they want to impose a clean garage sales of this stuff...but a shop like TG get a chance to still do business while others got banned just at a click of a mouse.

yes... that shop looks dodgy, run by 1 ah beng and 1 ah lian. I asked them a few questions, they don't even know what I'm talking about... and I skipped them.

Anyway, next time try to get from reputable+recommended traders listed here.

I did lotsa research b4 getting DS/Wii at LYN Forum. 'cos there are 2 many conmen out there.

sorry you+fren kenal...

and ya... why mod nvr take action against these traders?

maybe they got inside cable

Because we have to go into the dispute sections and read the whole thread, which we rarely do. Unlike sales threads reports where they'll show up in a big red box on top of our forum page. Things take time.

Anyway, I've flagged the case to be reviewed by the forum admins.

so, by right, have to click report too for mod to take notice?

Added on February 9, 2010, 12:43 pmstill no result?

This post has been edited by PhoenixByte: Feb 9 2010, 12:43 PM

What result?
He has a dispute tag now.

But he didn't bother to reply me in this thread.
Its so obvious that he is trying to deny his action (sold fake consoles)

Kellyyhx,

i have been messing around with the ds scene for so long
yet to hear any fake DS console
what i had heard about is refurbish set

anyway, if the battery is not the problem? could it be the charger? thats the case for one of my friend
no matter how many times he changed the battery is always red light for him
so he concluded that was his charger..... and after changing his charger.. everything works

since you bought your DS 2-3 months ago... can you recall any nintendo stuff came with the box?
normally, an original DS should have some goodies from nintendo club (depends on the region)

not really the case..
infact one of the sellers has an account on LYN and i have been buying things from him
xbox360 and a couple of ps3 games

This post has been edited by elixirdream: Feb 10 2010, 10:11 PM

I still have the whole box content with me.
Only console and charger/adapter..

I've test it with my own charger. It doesn't work.

so what is the update regarding this?

Nothing at all. the seller doesn't agree to compensate my lost

try n buy nds from him and see if u're still lucky or not

these things happens...some sellers sell good stuff for item A n B but for C he did otherwise. in fact some sellers still sell ehem stuff out there (while not in here)

TS,
my DS had same issue as yours
bought it from a forumer here..confirmed refurbished set but he didnt declare it
i took it to the shop for fix, after fix 1 month..same issue appeared

first fix said motherboard and lcd issue...
2nd fix say 2 chipset rosak d
both fix cost alot, just advice the people here, do careful not to get refurbished set
good for you the barcode still can see, my barcode totally wiped off

I think you can complain to the hal ehwal pengguna.
Try that.

They will be knocking on his doorstep the next day...believe me...
