    Alright, so recently I stopped playing my DSI for a bit but decided to play yet again. I press the power button, the blue light shows up, then a quick white screen comes and the entire system turns off. I've tried turning it on multiple times but to no avail. I also tried charging but nothing. If it's anything internal I am willing to open up my dsi to fix it. If i have to, how much would it cost to send to nintendo also? Thank you :)

    Replacing the battery does not require you to open the system... It only requires you to remove the battery cover.

    It's ok if it's the battery but messing with chips and stuff may damage his dsi

    Of course it won't work... it doesn't have any source to get power from.

    Replace the battery.

    ... you really think i would just remove the battery and then turn it back on without it in?... whatever thank you yassine and iluvfupaburgers for your help, i sent it in for repair.

    plug it in the mains and power it on? because even if the batterys dead it still should power on then.

    No it does not.

    The battery will be charged once you plug it in but it has no battery...

    It did look like you said as if he would turn the power on while his battery is out :p
    was kinda funny to read :p

    Even if the OP did, the system wouldn't give a damn.
