Screen blackout/corruption thing... little help?

Heart gold edition, got it yesterday. It was all fine, done 4 badges and now all of a sudden when I come to continue my game by clicking continue all I get is a black screen and nothing else. The music plays in the background but all i’ve got is a black screen. Even when I take the game out the back or close the DS the music continues but nothing else, no buttons work, tried turning it off and on etc. Weird thing is it works fine if I start a new game but don’t fancy losing my data. Anyone know what’s going on or what I can do to fix it?

Cheers

Well, you can try blowing the game chip part of the game chip (the bottom of the back side of the chip, not sure what that is called) and blow on that. Then blow in the game chip slot. Then try playing it again.

As a last resort try restarting your game and see if it works. If that doesn’t work, just take it back and get a refund. You got it yesterday, so I’m sure the store will have some sort of warranty.

Have you been to this game store before to get other Pokemon games? Or games? Or anything at all, really? (xD) Because if it’s your first-time there, maybe you shouldn’t come back there. It might sell fake games.

Hope I helped. :)
