Gaming Did I just kill my DSi?

Ok, what makes a beep for me is wen I put a needle on the negative part on both sides

But not on the positive?
Negative battery to black wire?

Nope, just negative to negative. Batery doesn't help either.

Then I guess you didn't resolder those wires correctly, try resoldering the positive wire again

Note that it was giving me voltage signals before I tried using the continuity tester mode, so it seems to me that somehow I screwed it up later while testing. I will resolder the wires though, to check if that fixes anything.

I did have it connected to power unfortunately. The battery gives a noise but only if i put the needle on opposite connections. Nothing seems to work on the board though

You probed the battery terminals in resistance/continuity mode while the DSi was connected? The multimeter applies a very small current on the circuit to test continuity, the DSi tries to charge your multimeter, you probably blew a fuse on the mainboard.

It gives me no power. Sadly i think I'll just have to replace the motherboard now.

I had similar thing. If when you plug it into a charger it blinks orange light you need to replace the power board. It's literally less than 3 bucks in Ali.
