Hacking Dead DS Lite.

[Excko]

Hi all,

I was playing with my DS Lite and all of a sudden, it just went off. I can't turn it back on. WHen I plug the AC adapter in, I get a battery charging signal but the unit still won't turn on. I tried another known good battery and the DS still does the same thing.

Anyone has any suggestions on how I could maybe fix my DS?

Thanks.

Sounds like the F2 fuse is blown.

 

[Excko]

Is it something that is easy to replace?

 

[Brian117]

Well that might not even be the problem, but

All you need to do is get some solder, and bridge the ends of the fuses of the F2 fuse with a piece of wire.

 

[Excko]

I don't have a clue how to solder. never done it before...

Ah well, I guess I'll send it to Nintendo for repairs.

 

[Brian117]

Might be a stupid idea,

But I can possibly fix it for you.

My dad fixed my DS Phat that it's F2 fuse blown on. He bridged it with wire and now it's working.

Nintendo charges you a lot anyways.

In the world of GBAtemp we learn how to fix things ourselves so Nintendo doesn't see our money.

I know that they charge a lot... something like 85$ for repairs and 112$ to swap it out.

 

[Brian117]

Close to that price range.

Would you consider having me fix it?

Sure, why not. It's dead anyways. Let's switch this to PMs if you want to.
