Is your original Nintendo DS not charging or is the charging socket physically damaged? Console Wizard provides a professional Nintendo DS charging port repair and replacement service.
Our Nintendo DS Charging Port Repair costs £44.99 and covers replacement of the damaged or faulty original-style charging socket.
This repair is specifically for the original Nintendo DS, sometimes referred to as the Nintendo DS Phat or NTR-001. The damaged charging socket is professionally removed from the motherboard and a replacement socket is fitted.
Nintendo DS charging port repairs are carried out at our Bolton, Greater Manchester repair centre, with a UK-wide repair service available for customers throughout the country.
Nintendo DS Charging Port Repair
The charging socket on the original Nintendo DS is connected to the console's motherboard. Physical damage, wear or accidental movement of the charger while connected can damage the socket and prevent the console from charging correctly.
Common symptoms include:
• Nintendo DS not charging
• Charging socket is physically damaged
• Charging connection feels loose
• Charger needs moving to make a connection
• Console only charges when the plug is held at an angle
• Charging repeatedly cuts in and out
• Damage occurred while the charger was connected
If the charging socket itself is damaged or unreliable, replacement of the port may be required.
Nintendo DS Not Charging
A Nintendo DS that does not charge can have a damaged charging socket, but a charging problem does not automatically mean that the port itself is faulty.
If possible, check the console with a known-working compatible charger before ordering a charging-port repair.
A damaged port is more likely when:
• The charging socket is visibly damaged
• The charger feels loose when connected
• Charging starts and stops when the cable is moved
• The charger needs to be positioned at a particular angle
• The charging socket was damaged following an impact or accident
If the charging socket appears physically normal and the Nintendo DS still does not charge with a known-working charger, the console may have another power-related fault and diagnosis may be more appropriate.
Damaged Nintendo DS Charger Socket
One common cause of charging-port damage is the console being knocked, dropped or moved while the charger is still connected.
The force applied through the charger plug can damage the charging socket or its connection to the motherboard.
Continuing to move or force the charging plug in a damaged socket can potentially make the physical damage worse, so we recommend having a loose or broken charging port repaired rather than repeatedly repositioning the cable to make it charge.
Nintendo DS Charging Socket Replacement
This service involves replacing the faulty original-style Nintendo DS charging socket.
The console is carefully dismantled to access the motherboard. The damaged charging socket is professionally removed and a replacement socket is soldered into position.
The Nintendo DS is then reassembled and the charging operation is tested before the console is returned.
What Is Included in the Nintendo DS Charging Port Repair?
• Inspection of the reported charging-port fault

• Replacement original-style Nintendo DS charging socket
• Professional motherboard soldering
• Charging test following replacement
• General functionality check following repair
• 3-month repair warranty
The complete Nintendo DS charging port repair costs £44.99.
Charging Port Fault or Another Power Problem?
Replacing the charging socket is appropriate when the socket itself is damaged or faulty. However, not every Nintendo DS that fails to charge requires a replacement port.
If the socket looks undamaged, the charger fits normally and a known-working compatible charger still does not charge the console, another internal power fault may be responsible.
If you are unsure what is causing the problem, select our separate Nintendo DS Fault Diagnosis & Repair Service instead. This allows the fault to be investigated before a particular component is replaced unnecessarily.
Original Nintendo DS Charging Port Repair
This service is specifically for the original Nintendo DS, model NTR-001.
The original Nintendo DS is sometimes referred to as the Nintendo DS Phat to distinguish it from later models including the DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL.
These later Nintendo handhelds use different charging connections and have their own dedicated repair services.
Make sure you select the repair for the correct Nintendo DS model before ordering.
