    • Two screws are hidden underneath two rubber feet highlighted in red.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to pry the rubber feet out of the lower case.

    One of the feet did break on me, tweezers came in handy for picking it out

    I unfolded and sharpened a paperclip. You can use that to stab and hook the rubber without tearing it, as the rubber is thick enough to reseal when reinserted.

    Nasty, broke my spudger and the feet in this step.

    • Insert the spudger in between the lower casing and lower panel near the top right corner of the DSi.

    • Carefully run the spudger along the edge of the outer casing, creating an opening between the body and the casing.

    • Continue running the spudger around the body of the DSi until the majority of the lower case has been separated.

    • Carefully lift the lower casing from its bottom edge.

    • The lower case is still attached to the motherboard by the volume and SD board cable highlighted in red. Do not try to completely remove the lower case of the DSi yet.

    • Pry the volume and SD board cable up from its socket on the motherboard using a spudger.

    • Once the cable is completely removed, then you may take off the entire outer casing.

    • Use your fingernail or the edge of a plastic opening tool to flip up the retaining flap on power board ZIF connector.

    • Be sure you are prying up on the hinged retaining flap, not the socket itself.

    • After flipping up the locking tab on the socket, use your fingers or a pair of tweezers to gently pull the cable straight out of its socket.

So when I was attempting to repair my DSI, the red cable became unplugged and now my system won’t turn on. What can I do to fix this before I go the option of getting replaced or ordering replacement parts?

I need help. I busted off the connection of the power board to the mother board. Is there any way I can solder the red and black wires directly? Because the white piece is broken and gone now.

Jack Meloche -

Hi I would like to ask about the buttons because in my case a plastic like bubble appeared on top of the contact gray button and it doesn’t make the pop sound anymore like the others that also means that it doesn’t work anymore could you help me?
