DS turns off

I wasn't sure where to pose this question and I tried to Google the answer but my google-fu must be weak.
For the past two days my DS lite has been turning off instead of going into sleep mode when I close the lid. I checked all the settings and I didn't see one that controled the sleep mode, does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this problem or does sleep mode stop working after so long? At first I thought it was just the game I was playing at the time, but sleep mode has worked before on this game. I tried another game out just to test that idea and it turned off on another game as well. I think I can stand if my DS is "broken" but I can't stand to face Mr. Resseti again so if anyone has an idea please let me know!!

If it's under warranty (and even if it's not) I would suggest e-mailing Nintendo about it. When I thought my Wii was broken, they gave me steps to "reset" the AC adapter which solved the problem (turns out my Wii wasn't broken), and people here will testify that they have a very agreeable customer support. They might fix or replace your DS even if it's off its warranty.

I don't know the proper term, but they had me unplug the cables in a specific order, leave my DS and AC adapter unplugged for 5 minutes, then plug it all back and turn the Wii on. Like magic, it suddenly worked. They said it wasn't the Wii, but the AC adapter that had the problem and needed to be unplugged for a specific time. I tried it by myself, but the solution was actually to leave it unplugged longer than what I did.
My adapter comment was for my own Wii issue, I doubt it has anything to do with your DS problem here. I was just saying Nintendo is quick to fix problems.
