Ds Help

Sorry If This Is In The Wrong Section But Im In Need Of Help

I Bought A M3 Adapter Off The Internet For My Daughters Ds When It Came It Was An N5 Adapter I Phoned The Company Up To Be Told Its Exactly The Same Dont Worry About It

They Failed To Supply Me With A Micro Sd Card For It So I Bought One Elseware

I Finally Formated The Card When Inserting The Card The Ds Power Completely Turned Off Took Card Out And Now The Ds Is Compleatly Dead

I Phoned Company Back Up And Spoke To Someone On The Tech Team Who Told Me To Try It In Another Ds So Stupid Me Did And Guess What Another Ds Broke

The Woman Suggested I Send It Back For Them To Test So I Did Minus The Micro Sd I Bought Elsewere

Ive Just Had A Phone Call To Say It Hasnt Blown There Ds It Must Be The Micro Sd I Bought Elsewere(although One Should Have Been Supplied With The Product)

Contacted The Micro Sd People And Theyve Said The Same

Does Anyone Know What My Next Move Could Be

Luckly One Of The Ds Was Only 3 Months Old So It Took It Back And Got A New One

As For The Other One Its Gone To Ds Heaven

Both Companys Wont Give Me My Money Back As It No Use To Me Now Without A Ds

So All In All Im Out Of Pocket By
£100 For A New Ds
£21 For Micro Sd
£42 For M3/n5 Adapter

Anyone Got Any Suggestions

    I dont know what you can do next, but the N5 card messes up the DS kills the battery.

    It happened to my neices and the N5 cards are on their way back to HK

    Not typing every word with a capital letter would be easier to read (and type).
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    What? For a start, you're not typing in capitals, you're only capitalising the first letter of every word, which is a useless feat.

    Secondly, if you can't read caps because of bad eye sight, well, how did you read other posts, and this post for that matter?

    Thirdly, hold down control and scroll downwards with your mouse wheel to make font bigger, so you can read easier.

    I can't offer any more help because it hurts my eyes reading your first post.

    To be honest I think you've done well to get one DS replaced as stirctly speaking I doubt if it was covered by the warranty.

    If I'm reading it correctly the SD card is at fault? If so surely they should replace it?

    BTW £42 for the M3 sounds expensive. You can get them with a rumble pack for $38 at dealextreme. £21 for a micro SD card also seems pricey, a 2Gb Micro SD crad is about £10 at 7dayshop including postage.

    The £163 you're out of pocket would have bought a good few games.
