    Gaming DSi Wifi card not working/not making contact properly? Causing "An error has occured" screen.

    Hi, I've recently been having problems with my DSi (Unlaunch, HiyaCFW). It was recently showing the "An error has occurred screen" when launching a game/app and sometimes not booting at all (screen black, flickers white for a second when home/power button is clicked. However, when I bend my...

    Homebrew How do I display an image using devkitpro?

    I was wondering how would I display images using devkitpro. I have read over the source of the example (https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-examples/tree/master/graphics/bitmap/24bit-color) and have tried to do so myself. However, I can't seem to get it to work after many attempts. It would be...

    Hardware Old 3ds slow and keeps crashing

    Hello. I have been having an issue with my brother's old 3ds. When I turn it on, it takes a few seconds to boot up into the main menu. Then, it functions normally until I open an app. When I open an app, the system crashes completely and I have to hold the power button to force shut it down...

    Hardware Need help with removing destroyed screws on old 3DS.

    I'll think about it but I'm not too keen on that as it's the only #000 screwdriver I have and I am scared I'll destroy it too. I'll use it as a last resort

    Hardware Need help with removing destroyed screws on old 3DS.

    I have been having an issue when disassembling my brother's old 3DS to fix it. One of the black screws in the top right corner is destroyed to the point where the #000 screwdriver just slips. This one of the screws that you remove after the back plate. Any and all help appreciated!

    Gaming DSi not booting

    The issue appeared again but this time I'm going to use WD-40 to hopefully dissolve any corrosin or gunk. (Obviously removing the ribbon beforehand)

    Gaming DSi not booting

    Ok, I'll keep that in mind. If the problem persists, I'll try getting a brand new replacement switch or ribbon cable assembly thingy.

    Gaming DSi not booting

    Thanks for your input but I found another strange fix to the bumper problem. (The original problem was the bumper being unresponsive) I read that mashing the bumper and blowing into the bumper from the side will make it responsive again. This is the ifixit thread with the bumper fix...

    Gaming DSi not booting

    Ok, I've discovered something weird. So I finally managed to unscrew and pry open the bottom half of my DSi and when there are no screws and the bottom case is holding on by only friction, the DSi magically works again. Now I'm thinking that it was actually a hardware issue and pressing random...

    Gaming DSi not booting

    BIG UPDATE: I managed to get to unlaunch by pressing A, B, X, Y, L and R on boot. It's definitely a software error. NOTE: My R bumper is a bit dodgy meaning that I don't manage to get to unlaunch most of the time.
