    The device came with the Trainer Toolkit. It has a USB slot and connect to the DS via the GBA slot. The DS can tell that the device is inserted, and my computer's USB port is working fine. I can tell that the problem is in the device's USB slot. I kinda put the USB cable in forcefully sometimes, so that could have done it. Regardless, is there anyway to fix this sort of thing? Thanks.

    Well, if the cause was by putting it in forcefully and you have no other USB port's you'll have to fix it or buy another computer or something.

    Oh, I meant the USB slot on the thing that goes into the DS.

    What exactly is the problem? Is there a typo somewhere, because everything looks dandy. o_o

    Well the problem at first was that the computer couldn't tell that the DS was being connected. But the situation got worse . 0_o

    While trying some rather ineffective methods of fixing it myself, the USB slot actually fell into the hollow plastic casing. My dad and I also realized by opening the casing that the problem was that the USB connector thing in the Trainer Board wasn't connected to the computer board thing (I don't know the proper word for it) inside the Trainer Board and that's why it wasn't connecting. So now my dad and I are going to attempt to solder it down. Hopefully it works.
