[KevinLSX]

The charge light is blinking when plugged in with battery plugged in and without it plugged in. Does not power on. Was working yesterday. Any help. Heard you could bridge two points to get this fixed but i dont know which.

Thanks

Dead Battery?

Dead Battery?

No, i dont think so. The system does it even without the battery is in. Afaik it should turn on with the chsrger plugged in and without the battery, but it doesnt.

This is odd, did you just buy it or have you had it for a long time?

Ive had it for years. L button was stuck so i opened it up to fix it and put it back together and i was left with the orange light blinking. I tried powering on the system before putting it back together and i think i might have put the battery on the wrong way. Maybe a fuse blew up. Not sure

I just confirmed it with mine, your battery is shot, i took the battery out of my Dsi and plugged it in and the amber light flashed on and off and wont power on.

 

[KevinLSX]

Really? I thought theyd power on with just the charger?, guess not. Ill order a new battery then.

Thanks dude.

No problem, the only other thing i could think of is when you put it together maybe something happened to the power cable on the inside, you might want to check and see before buying a new battery, just to be sure.

Yes I check and even checked if anything was maybe causeing the wires to short. Thanks again.

(Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker. If you want you can correct my errors, it really helps me.)
Me too. I opened it to try to fix the cameras, and ended with my DSi not turning on. I think it's not necessarely due to a dead battery (for me it's not, my battery works), but it can be something connected to the battery. It can be the charging port or the power board (in my case I think it's the power board that is faulty). You'll have to check with a multimeter to know what isn't working (see online what you need to check).
(By the way, if there are French here that know a good website for Nintendo DSi parts, let me know.)

I'm having the same problem with my red Nintendo dsi. I had it for 7 years and only recently did it have problems. I got a new battery and it still flashes the orange light

Make sure to check the F1 fuse of the power/d-pad board, it is often the issue if the battery is ok.
Changing the board (or bridging the fuse if you know what you are doing and have the tools) should fix the issue if there is no current.

Things happen.
