lately ive been doing a fair bit of travelling, on the bus and stuff, and I have been taking that time to play my DS.

but I have noticed I have gotten what looks like a small cut in the palm of my hand, at firs tI didnt take much notice of it, but when I play the DS I realised that the bottom right corner is always pushing into my hand on that exact spot, so im guessing the ds rubbing on my palm is causing the cut, any ideas on how to stop that? or any one else experience it?

Also, I have noticed that since I last used my DS about 6 months ago, that just before the charger light goes to red indicating its low on power, the light will start flashing between red and green for about ten minutes either in sync to the music in the game, or when I press the buttons, and the R buttom sometimes stops working completely, and I have to hit it about 20 times before it starts working again, is there a way to repair this?

EDIT: I have a ds-lite

I think the red/green light flashing has more to do with battery consumption at the time. You may find that the light is just green, but if you press the touch screen it'll go red. It's all based on how much power the console is using at that given moment. As for your other problems, I can't really help you. I've never experienced having a cut palm. My original DS used to dig into my palms, but I got used to it quite quickly. I would have assumed the DS lite would have been more comfortable, but I guess not lol.

Don't use your DS anymore. It's SUICIDE hehehe :-)

I never got my hands cut from any console, so it seems your DS wants to eat you.

No, seriously, I suggest you hold it from the underside with the palms of your hands to avoid cuts.

Put a small plaster over the area that has been rubbing your hand, no damage will come to the DS and yo're skin will be protected.( this tip is sponsored by womens shoes)
