Does anyone find that the stylus, after very little use, becomes extremely loose in its holder and constantly falls out? I have two of these and they are both the same.
Design fault?

DS Lite. Definitely feels as though a bung or something in the hole has disappeared into cyberspace. One machine I can understand but not two, one after the other. About four months old.

Thanks for that. Wanted to see whether it was a common problem - appears it must just be me being unlucky again. Will take it into Game and see what they say!

Yeah I've had this problem. Its usually wear and tear but I have a habit of chewing the ends of them and that makes them loose also.
The notch that holds the stylus in place is on the stylus itself so its definatly this thats the problems.

I have a DS Lite and I never had this problem but now that you mention this... it does fit a bit loosely than I remember. |

Got 3 kids, each got a DS Lite a,d they have all got the same problem, we just stick a bit of insulating tape around the stylus to make it catch.

So it's not uncommon. I am going to drop Nintendo an email and see if I get a reply.

totally off topic...
but can I just point out that the plural of stylus is styli not stylusus (unless your American)
and I know for a fact that Doug ain't American!
