I need help fixing my Action Replay DS, its a version 1.54

This specific Action Replay was given to me as a gift (that means no computer cable, no manual, no nothing.). It worked for some time, but, when I accidentally turned it off at the wrong time, it erased every single one of my codes. And, whenever I try to add new cheats (or even new games) it glitches up (as in the touch screen turns into this glitchy mess. (It looks like as if you TV isn't working right...) Can anybody help me?

No idea how to fix that except getting an ARDS yourself. It´s not 100% sure that stuff you got will be working fine.

It was working perfectly a few months ago...darn it.

Maybe it´s glitched or broken. I guess without the Code Manager you won´t be albe to fix it.
I´d really suggest to get one yourself, for me it was only 19.99€ (no idea about $), you´d get an actual manual (which will just confuse you anyways) and a comp cable will be your best friend if you´re going to add many codes.

Well, I actually do have a cable, but I dont know where to get the stupid software...or is it included in the action replay?

Actually, forget it. I don't have the right cable....thanks for helping...?

This happened to me once, you basically have to buy a new one.

I disconected the cable when loading PKMN Pearl codes, and glitched up. Then, when I turned it on, whenever it got to the PKMN Pearl codes glitched. I re-uploaded the same codes from the mananger on my comp, so yeah, that's the only way... You'll need a new one D:
