It has never been hooked up to a computer nor had a sd card in the slot before this happened. Not exactly sure what I was doing with it before I last shut it down. Either working on a car or checking for program updates. My DS lets me download program updates even though the subscription is expired. It told me I had the latest version on it and never tried to download anything.
I tried hooking it up to my PC with the usb cable but does not show any contents of the sdd. It recognizes it as a removable storage device but shows nothing in it. I was hoping I could get into that way.
I don't have a sd card that small but was wondering about getting one, plugging it in and try to boot it that way to see if it would do anything different. What about trying to load something like Norton on the card to try and access the system file and possibly fix it?
