Dsi xl powers off when closing

[bluekirby700900]

I was trying to play pokemon mystery dungeon on my ds when it powered off after i closed it after a hour of play time without saving. i tried playing again and it powered off after another 20 mins and that repeated a few more times. i came to the conclusion that its the ds because this dosent happen with my 2dsxl and it happens with other games too. also if i lightly move the console around with the lid open then it will freeze, any help is greatley appreciated

Sounds like the hardware is bugged. You'll need to either open up the console to look into the hardware, or buy another DSi console.

i remember that this happened to my dsi xl aswell when i closed it too quick sometimes

this happens because a flatcable is broken, this also happened with my 3DS.

how would i fix it if i took the console apart

In the dsi, I don't know if is the same, but in the 3ds, I think the flatcable broken is the one marked in red, and you basically put a rubber band in the place surrounded by the white. Or you can replace the cable.

Or just by a new one instead

i dont know why, but it fixed itself after years. i no longer have this issue with my dsi xl

Well, my 3DS still has that problem, for 4 years it keeps shuting down when full opened...
