Hacking Another Problem!!! (My DS Lite)

[Jakob95]

I fixed the DS. My cuzin came to my house with his battery and he gave me his battery and I put his battery in my DS and now it charges. For some reason I took my old battery out and gave it to him and he put it in his DS and it charges on his DS.

YYYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS i finally got another battery for the ds lite and it worked all thanks to my lil bro's friend(

). on the day he fixed it the battery was low so i said ok im going to charge it then disaster! ALL THE BULLS WERE RAMPAGING LIKE IT WAS THERE BIRTHDAY AND COCA-COLA TASTING LIKE SHIT BUT WORSE OF all the DS wouldnt charge like it wouldn't even blink on...the light didnt turn on for 0.5 second or any seconds... so what i did was repeated all the steps i did before First:me

Second:me

Third:more me

Fourth:my big bro

To the OP it sounds like it could be the L2 power inductor. Doing a quick Google it looks to be a 33uH. Try replacing it and seeing if that works.

To tell you the truth I have a mobo doing the same thing and an other one where the mic got wet and fried. So I am going to harvest the L2 inductor off the blown mic one and transplant it to the other one. I'll post back in a few days once I get it done and let you know how is works out.

See pic below for L2 location:

Sorry should point out that (if not obvious) that it needs to be SM (surface mount) 33uH inductor.

Stevebenz,

It sounds like the "F2" fuse is blown, you'll need to replace it or bridge it. I recommend replacing it. See the pic below for F1 and F2 fuse locations;

If replacing or bridging the F2 fuse does not fix your problem then try the F1 fuse.

I hope this helps

 

[Stevebenz]

P.S. im a newbie and is to scared to open my ds cuz i only have one DS

2nd P.S. i have a one of those fat DS and im using a ds lite would the fat ds come in handy?

To fix the fuse(s) you'll have to open your DS, this should help;

You`ll need a tri-wing screwdriver, I find a good place to get the screwdriver is dealextreme (google it not sure if I can link to it) they are cheap but very slow most times. You`ll want to get sku.2905 it has both the Triwing x50, Cross x50 screwdrivers that you`ll need to open your DS.

Also you`ll need a soldering iron and solder (1mm or .5mm) if your going to bridge the fuse. The guide says to use a small peace of wire (not need) just lay a small amount of solder over top of the fuse covering both ends. Hpw ever I would recommend replacing the fuse and not bridging it. (your call)

Be very careful when taking the DS apart and putting it back together so that you don`t brake the power switch. for the price of a replacement one from dealextreme it would not hurt to buy one or two to have on hand (sku.15610).

If your to "scared" to open your DS it would not hurt to ask around where you are and see if any one there can do it. (may have to pay for the service)

Let me know if you have any other questions, and good luck.
