Gaming Broken DSi

[machomuu]

How would I go about fixing my DSi (regular not XL)? It broke last year. When I try to turn it on, the top screen just flashes and then turns off. I sent it to Nintendo, but they didn't want to fix it because I opened it.

Another broken one?


You've been through quite a few it seems..

Yeah, my XL is my replacement for my replacement. My DSi is somewhat valuable, though. DSiWare wise (that isn't free at this point in time) it has WarioWare (Ughh...), Photo Dojo (Ugh...), UNO, Art Style Digidrive, Art Style Box Life, Dragon Quest Wars, and Aura Aura Climber...so yeah.

I thought they would still fix it with a voided warentee but you had to pay for it yourself.

why would you think that?

Cause that's what they usually do. They fix it for free if it's still under warranty and still intact ie. unopened, if not you have to pay for them to fix it.

Anyways, you should have made single thread entitled: "Broken DS's"

And how did they know you opened it? You told them, didn't you? That voids the warranty. Find a local shop that fixes and sells old systems and games. The one near me, the guy is always fixing old NES consoles.

I'm pretty sure the manufacturers have some nasty tricks to see what and when something is done to the DSi.

I had this once with my PSP, my screen was defect, but I opened it, I didn't tell Sony, and just sent it, they sent it back and told me opening the device voided my warranty :S.

Most of the dslites that I have ever opened had a dollop of glue attaching the main board to the plastic, if that glue is no longer jioning the two together, then its been opened.

you had to peel off the warranty sticker didn't you? that's why they could see it.

The warranty was already up.

I didn't because the two DS threads are completely unrelated.

Wait till the 3DS comes out and then transfer* the dsiWarez over to it. If you're not getting a 3DS then nevermind.

*it's an announced feature of the 3DS, I have no details on how it works

I am getting one and I do know about the transfer feature, but the problem is they haven't announced how it will work.
I'm hoping they'll allow club nintendo users to transfer the DSiware via Club Nintendo. As long as I can transfer the tickets without using the system they're on, I'll be fine.
