@Kalvinjj

My suggestion to that is checking the top screen ribbon cable. It might be lose/badly connected or downright thorn. Some people say you can just take the screen away and do no solder mod to the board and it works, but from what I've repaired DSses and 3DSses they don't even boot up if the screen isn't present, or if the backlight isn't detected, which happens with a thorn ribbon cable. On the 3DS it thankfully happens more on the cheapest of the ribbons, which is the speakers, backlight and 3D slider ribbon, there's freakin' 3 ribbons on that hinge, cameras and screen being rolled inside the backlight ribbon so it sort of protects them a bit more. On a DS Lite tho... it means to replace the dang screen.

A broken top screen ribbon makes the DS Lite (and 3DS for that matter too) to just shut down suddenly. It's about detecting the backlight being present, or else it throws a fit, hence that resistor he soldered. Could it have been what happened to you?

When I was little I had the DS Lite and one night I was playing Mario Bros DS and I kept dying to the dumb spiders from world 8 and I got mad and bend the top screen back really hard and it broke off. 😱😱😱 I started crying like hell and I showed my Mom and she was pissed. A little while after that I turned on the DS and the bottom screen still worked so I would play GBA games on it. The games I had were Spongebob Lights, Camera, Pants which is a really good game and LEGO Star Wars 2 the original trilogy. So my DS turned into a weird GBA which was kinda cool. A few days later my Dad saw it and threw it out cause the wires were exposed. And I started crying again :(. But don’t worry there is a good ending. A few weeks later my Mom took me to ToysRUs because I got a $20 gift card from my grandparents as a early birthday present. So we go to the electronics section and outta no where my mom buys me a DSi !!!!! I started losing my shit and freaking out at the store😂😂😂. And I bought LEGO Batman 2 with the gift card I got and got home and played the hell outta that game. It stinks that they removed the GBA slot for the DSi though.
