I don't know, I guess you'll have to get a new one... Did you damage it or something?

Try a different outlet, see if the orange light comes on.

Looks like it's just broken.
I'd send it to nintendo if I were you ;)

Good luck repairing it/getting a new one =D

Does it turn on briefly, and then shut off, or it just won't turn on? If it starts to turn on, take out your GBA and DS games, blow in the slots, and try again without the games in the DS.

But if it just won't turn on, might be a blown fuse.
 
If it's one of the old DS's, then I've heard those can just die for no reason 'cuz they're so old. 0_o I think mine might be dying, it's battery life is down to 3 hours, and the bottom inch or so of the touch screen doesn't light up. XD

it could just be the battery? you might not need to get a new DS worth $170 you could just try and oder a battery for around $30.

Well, right now my ds won't work because when I power it up, the touch screen flashes white and the top screen stays black, and then it powers down. There is a problem with the internal wiring and you need to all the phone number on the BACK OF YOUR DS. It's Nintendo's house. They'll offer a repair for around 89.10 dollars, or some manufactered one for 90+ dollars. If you've had your ds for less than a year, they should give you one for free or for a trivial amount.

Assuming you haven't had your DS for exactly a year, then your warranty should be good enough that you can send in for a new one. Or, you could purchase a new one.

*looks above* Nevermind, beaten...
