DS problem-help needed quick!!!!

[Milkapoke]

I was going into wifi when my DS froze. It is still on the "logging in" screen, but there is a high-screechy noise, and nothing will work. I am scared that if I turn my DS off, I'll lose some data, but I don't want that to happen. Please help

From Nintendo's support site:



Occasional lockups with video games can happen from time-to-time and do not necessarily indicate a need for repair or replacement. If you are experiencing frequent lockups, or a particular game always locks up in the same area, please see the information below.

• Make sure you are using only licensed accessories. Unlicensed products and accessories do not undergo Nintendo's testing and evaluation process. They may not work at all with our game systems, and they may have compatibility problems with certain games or accessories.
  
• Check for visible contamination or foreign material on the connector pins of your Game Cards or Game Paks. If you see contamination or foreign material on a Game Card, please click here for replacement information.
  
• Does the problem occur frequently with multiple games? If so, it may be difficult to determine if the problem is with the system itself, the games, or a combination of both. Please call (800) 255-3700 so that we may assist you further.
  
• If possible, try the Game Card in another Nintendo DS.
  
  1. If the game still does not work in another system, it is likely a problem with the Game Card. Please review our Nintendo DS Game Card replacement options to determine how to get your game replaced.
     
  2. If the game works properly in another system, the problem is with your Nintendo DS.

Nintendo offers convenient repairs, fast turnaround times and, for all systems repaired, a new one-year manufacturer's warranty. To begin the repair process, we will need to gather some information from you.



Pretty much, it means that your game's frozen up (Happens with my Gamecube games all the time). If multiple games have the problem, or if it works fine on another DS (and definitely won't work in the one with the problem), then it's your DS. Nintendo offers an online repair service.
