Isn't this neat? Yesterday afternoon Dmitry's teacher called to tell me he'll be receiving an award for Academic Improvement ("Good going, kid! You're not doing near as badly as you used to!") on Friday morning, but to not let him know as it's to be a surprise.
So mum's the word.
Last night there I was, working away at a rather challenging game of Sudoku on the BrainAge program for the Nintendo DS, when the game system shut off. Mind, this is while it was hooked up to charge. Afterwards it either wouldn't turn on, merely flickering and dying, or would turn on then a minute or so later switch off.
Blister it! Could it be the battery, d'you think?
Speaking of power problems, Don sorted the nonfunctioning garage door opener and living room ceiling fan last night by locating the fuse that had tripped. Never mind all the fuses looked to be in the "on" position....he said #18 felt "soft" when he tried it, so he flipped it off then back on and voilá!

Flipping breakers is usually my first response to all electrical problems, well, first just after changing light bulbs
. It's because after that all I can do is call an electrician!
If you (or Dmitry) has another DS, or even a GBA SP, the batteries are interchangeable, and you can swap 'em out to see if that's the problem. If you need a new battery, I think that Gamestop carries 'em.
