Volunteers fixing the problem claimed it was us who caused it. We had left the normal DS power supply plugged in, but it wasn't plugged into anything (and there's no battery in the board).

I suppose I believe them when they say our powersupply being left in could cause it, but to prevent misinformation from being spread, there was no battery or anything of the sort. Just a plain 'ol walwart powersupply not plugged into a wall outlet.
