Re: DS always disabled

If it helps in your diagnosing...
The "enabled" / "disabled" message on the DS screen is unaffected by any other part of the system.
You don't need to power anything, other than the DS itself, to test if the dongle is working.

If directly connecting pin 8 to pin 9 didn't earn you the "enabled" message, then that's a DS hardware failure.

The only thing you have control over that could possibly affect it is the DS firmware upgrade.
