Then it's time to pull for your consumer rights and get a new unit from them. You wouldn't be going back to them if you were happy with your purchase, right?

Standby mode, also known as sleep mode, eats very little battery charge. I accidentally left my DS on standby mode overnight after a few hours of gaming, and it was showed green on the LED the next day.

That overnight time, you are using R4 or Original game ?

Yeah, this purchase was unhappy for me. The first time he gave me was N5 and it is real battery eater. With the setting same as me using now, last for only 3.5 hours. Nice that I had returned the N5 back to them and order EDGE from the forums.

But even want replacement, I also hard to give up this since the whole thing is so perfect, no dead pixel, no cracked hinge, the touch screen is so shiny and no scratch. > <

R4 flashcart inside. I accidentally left PocketPhysics on

I get the dreaded red LED after approxmiately more than 5 hours of playing with the setting on my previous posts.

I will try again later after the battery charged. I had charged about 3 times since I purchased exactly 1 week.

But this console of mine is real new > < I cant give up on it T_T

Except it is yellow tinted for the touch screen

Yeah. Standby does eat up your battery. It is running after all, just in standby mode. If you wanna get a new battery, i think the shop in parkson has it.

Which shop in the parkson? I think now have 3 shops selling game console right now.

The bottom one. The one sell DVDs also. They sell the battery last time. Not sure now.

Oh, that one selling NDSL and PSP original games one ? Seldom goes into it because the girl sellers is quite annoying. Not one, but all...

I had played my NDSL for 6 hours after the fully charged and the LED is still green color. Now kinda tired

I noticed mine has very short playing hours too

Lowest Brightness setting + No or Mid volume setting + EDGE flashcart = 7 hours MAX only

I just bought my NDSL two weeks ago

Ok, here's my result after one day testing.

Brightness: 0
Volume: 50%
Flash Card: EDGE with 1GB, version 1.37
Total time played: 8.5~9.0 hours

Here's the games that I had tested and sorted accordingly with the time played:

2.0 hours - Nintendog: Dalmation & Friends
1.5 hours - Jump Ultimate Stars
0.5 hours - Super Robot Taisen W ( just downloaded and tried)
2.0 hours - Jump Ultimate Stars
2.0 hours - Jump Ultimate Stars

After playing till this point, the LED start becoming red and I continue playing it with the games below:

Mario hoops 3 on 3 - when playing this game, the LED change back to green/yellow for 15 minutes, weird
Cooking Mama 2
Mario Kart DS - The game just played about 10 minutes and woops.... Battery runs out and the DS shut down.

Took me about 0.75~1 hour to fully depreciate the battery life starting from Red LED.

I'm wondering is this normal for all DS users ? And does 3D game really eat more power than those 2D ? example, Nintendog and Jump Ultimate Stars.

That's the result that I had tried. Hopes help.

how can i know my battery is n5?
what is edge?

your lucky,at least can play 5 hours

mine, i dun think it is more than 2 hours
now cnnt charge,dunno whether it is the charger prob or battery prob

just buy 4 days ago,still got warranty..no need to pay right?

my friend psp does not light orange when he charge
after he send it to the seller back,the seller ask him to pay for the led lights
and he send it last day of the warranty

but that is caused by his mother accidentaly trjatuhkn psp.
sadly i buy from the same shop as his..
should buy at other shop but many ppl here in lowyat forum says that the best,shop,no liar
price is ok.

ya,if it is charger prob,should i ask for a fake charger or ori charger?[mine right now is ori charger]

both n5 and edge are flashcarts

n5,edge..flacsh cart what is that??
r4 is what?flashcart too??

lmao
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/234561

arh,.nvm..

so many infos..lazy to read

i know i only have r4,thats all

wao... bole tumpang thread tanye?
1 q:if i charge excessively,does it drain my ndsl battery?

simple answer
no
thats the good part of lithium ion based battery

if finish charging ,there will be no orange light right??
there will be no light??

yes, no light.. and thx for the answer

i'm used R4, now using M3 real, battery life on lowest brightness is about 16 hours or a bit lesser as stated in the manual. maybe edge cards suck up more power?

oh yeah, it's not whether 2D or 3D games use more power but touch screen base games uses up more power compared to just buttons games like mario kart. you try and play something that uses touch screen then when the light flashes red, change to something that doesn't need touch screen, it'll be green again.
