    • There's a small tab on the top of the battery to make removal easier.

    • Grasp the battery and remove it from the DSi.

    This is also where the water damage indicator is located, if that's important

    • 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

    Willie Narvaez - Contestar

    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.

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

    • 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.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to pry the power board connector out of its socket on the motherboard.

    do not pry up! pull to one side so you don't disconnect the clip from the motherboard!

    Lisa - Contestar

    Actually Lisa, you are incorrect. If you pull to one side you WILL end up pulling the connector off the motherboard. It is designed so that you ARE MEANT TO pry it upwards out of the connector. All you need to do is use the point or corner of the flat edge of a spudger (or a small flat-headed screwdriver), push it ever so slightly under the middle of the small white plug where there is a small recess in the connector for just this purpose. Prying the plug up in this fashion you should clear the connector with the spudger by prying it up through the recess rather than catching the connector and pulling it off the board.

    James Gravestock -

    how to fix if the clip comes off of the motherboard?? please help!

    jaime - Contestar

    Push it back in straight if it is still in one piece.

    Tman Tech -

    If the socket comes off the motherboard along with the connector, what’s the best way to fix it?

    Kimberly Meyer - Contestar

    it has to be soldered back on, so if you can't do it yourself, find someone who can (maybe a local repair shop).

    I already pull it off from board new i have to learn how to weld it back

    • Use your fingernail or the edge of a plastic opening tool to flip up the retaining flap on the following three ZIF sockets:

    • Lower touchscreen cable

    • Lower LCD cable

    • Power board cable

    • Be sure you are prying up on the hinged retaining flaps, not the sockets themselves.

    • After flipping up the locking tabs on all three sockets, use your fingers or a pair of tweezers to gently pull the cables straight out of their sockets.

    I accidentally broke the retaining flap off of the lower touchscreen’s socket. Is it possible to reattach it?

    Thewolfpack23x - Contestar

    Mine broke off too. At first I thought it would just pop back in, but when I looked at it under magnification, I can see that a tiny piece of plastic actually snapped off the flap. I think we're farked. Looks like the only way to fix would be to solder on a new cable connector.

    i love and hate flex cables.

    they are flat and awesome, but every single flap for the connectors has broken for me (past experience vent lmao)

    • Use your fingernail or the edge of a plastic opening tool to carefully flip up the touchscreen ribbon cable retaining flap.

    • Make sure you are flipping up the retaining flap, not the socket itself.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to pull the touchscreen ribbon cable straight out of its socket.

    When I was putting mine back together, the flap popped off and when I tried to put it on with a tweezers, it snapped. Any suggestions other than scrap it or use it without the touchscreen? Pictures at https://sites.google.com/site/memesbyluc...

    This little flap is a pain in the butt to get back in! If there is any way to bypass the removal of this, my advise is to do it!

    Tamara Girodie - Contestar

    Adding on: The cable actually ended up breaking as the tweezers I used to put it back in scraped part of the gold ribbon off. Be extremely careful!!!

    I actually chose to leave this ribbon cable connected, and had no issues completing the rest of the steps around this. Just be careful not to pull the cable!

    • Use the tip of a spudger to pry the metal backing of the lower LCD up from the DSi's framework.

    • Lift the lower LCD assembly out of the DSi.

    It’s not mentioned here, but I found it easiest to just remove the buttons and rubber backings here as well - they will likely just fall out anyway when moving the case around and you may lose them.

On Step 9 please add something like this to the description. I didn’t fully understand what was said and i ended up breaking my power connector off the motherboard. I luckily went to Ebay and someone had a replacement thankfully that i was able to solder back on the motherboard. ——————To remove the power wire connector off the motherboard use a small flathead screwdriver to push the white part of the connector straight up. If you try to pull it back like a standard connector it will break! ————-

Needs to be more specific in removing the touch screen as mine didn't come off properly and I had to get a new

[deleted] - Contestar

Hello! I have a DSi with a missing lower display. It won’t turn on (even pluged in). Can anyone tell me if it’s supposed to turn on with the lower display missing? If it is not supposed to turn on without the lower display, then I can buy a replacement display so it probably work, but if it supposed to turn on even without the lower display, then there is some extra problem there.
