R43DS Gold black screen following linker update

Post by **Labebete** » Wed 16 Jan 2013 19:24

Good evening everyone...A little question....

I updated the card with the file R4iGold_3DS45_NDSi145_Patcha_NDSi.nds. At the end of the update I got the small SUCCEFULL message. I take the DS in my big hands and I press A again by mistake.... The update starts again..... and then it's the drama, while trying to put the DS down, it slips from my fingers and I press the standby button..... POOF, the console turns off. I turn it back on and nothing.......... black screen and the console freezes. I'm forced to remove the R4 to turn it off and restart it with an original game.

Is my R4 dead? or is there a way to fix my blunder

Small detail, I already tried reformatting the micro SD... changing it too and same result

Also tried putting the linker in a DSI XL and DS Lite and for both, no card detected.....

What a klutz I swear

Thanks for your help

I get the feeling the update starts with a reset of the Eprom that's in the linker. Result, it's empty. Not fried, but empty. So it doesn't start up when the DS turns on.

I ordered a brand new one.... and I stopped myself from doing anything stupid again

All that just to not be able to use 3DS games, since it doesn't work... damn kid ........................... and damn me too since I'm a first-class idiot.

it can be restored if your card can update successfully. Do you have the signal line with C1 and R9? Just follow your card's official update guide.

You need another linker to relaunch R4iGold_3DS45_NDSi145_Patcha_NDSi.nds
Once in the menu you change linker and press A
