Nintendo DS Lite Replacement Battery

Step 1

Unscrew the Phillips screw securing the battery cover to the lower case.
The screw remains captive to the battery cover.
Pry the battery cover upward with a spudger or fingernail, and lift out of the lower case.

A Phillips #000 (PH000) seems to give a more secure fit (no slipping) than the stated Phillips #00.

This will be good for mods

I'm having a problem getting the screw to unscrew. I have the right Phillips ( it was included with all the stuff I got this) Any tips. it doesn't look like the screw is spinning but i haven't played my Nintendo DS Lite for 3 years.

Soit un changement de batterie, soit la carte-mère a peut-être un court-circuit :/

Step 2

Wedge the edge of a spudger in between the side of the battery and the lower case housing and pry upward to dislodge the battery.
Remove the battery from the DS Lite.
