"DSI" is ambiguous. Please specify which you mean:
Common problems & fixes:
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Hinge crack (top screen) | Common. Nintendo repair ended. 3D-printed reinforcement or tape. |
| L/R buttons fail | Blow compressed air, contact cleaner (DeoxIT), or replace flex ribbon ($5). |
| Won't connect Wi-Fi | DSi only supports WEP / Open. Use phone hotspot (set to WEP) or open guest network. |
| Dead pixel(s) | Nintendo policy: 3+ bright / 5+ dark = repair (ended). Stuck pixel massage / flashing videos. |
| Shop Channel / DSiWare gone | Shop closed 2017. Use DSiWare preservation + Flipnote Lenny for homebrew. |
| No GBA slot | Use TWiLight Menu++ (SD card loader) for GBA/NDS roms. |
