My Nintendo DS Lite Won't Play Games

Check the charge on the internal battery. If the pack is charged, the LED indicator for the system's power should be lit green, if nearly fully charged, or red if running low on battery power. If you see no light, use the AC adapter to plug the DS Lite into a wall outlet to charge the internal battery.

Inspect your AC adapter cord if you are using this as your power source, such as when the battery is exhausted. It should be fully plugged into both the wall outlet and the DS Lite.
