Thank you SO much! I appreciate everyone's help! I'm going to go try rewiring my oscillator now, I'll let you know what happens!

EDIT: Nope. no go with the rewiring. The DS still doesn't turn on... Not even the green LED comes now. I'm starting to think I broke it permanently... Oh well. Is it ...

Welcome to the forums, dude.

About the ground thing, solder to ground! Find a ground point on the DS - it may be labeled, or you can find it on any component.

1) You could've gotten the power line and the clock output line mixed up.

2) It may be to low or high ...

Has anyone on these forums successfully accomplished an overclocking of the DS? I'm currently in the attempt, but my DS doesn't boot (the green power light comes on, but no OS screen appears). Does anyone have any ideas as to my problem? I think it's possible that I wired my oscillator wrong, as ...
