Not sure what is wrong with your original Nintendo DS, or can't find the fault listed in our available repair services? Console Wizard provides a professional Nintendo DS fault diagnosis service to investigate the problem and identify the repair required where possible.
Our Nintendo DS Fault Diagnosis costs £20. If we identify the fault and you choose to proceed with the repair, the £20 diagnostic fee is deducted from the repair cost.
If you decide not to proceed after receiving the repair price, no additional repair fee is charged and your Nintendo DS will be returned unrepaired. If we are unable to repair the console, the £20 diagnostic fee is non-refundable.
This service is specifically for the original Nintendo DS, sometimes referred to as the Nintendo DS Phat or NTR-001.
Nintendo DS fault diagnosis is carried out at our Bolton, Greater Manchester repair centre, with a UK-wide service available for customers throughout the country.
Nintendo DS Fault Diagnosis
This service is designed for Nintendo DS consoles with a fault that is not covered by one of our specific repair services, or when you are unsure which repair to select.
Possible faults we can investigate include:
• Nintendo DS will not power on
• Console powers on but does not operate correctly
• Intermittent or unexplained faults
• Problems loading or playing games
• Screen or display problems where the cause is uncertain
• Charging or power problems where the charging socket is not obviously damaged
• Console crashes or freezes during use
• Other hardware faults not listed in our standard Nintendo DS repairs
Our engineers will investigate the reported symptoms and determine the cause of the fault where possible.
When Should I Select Nintendo DS Fault Diagnosis?
If you already know which component is faulty and we have a dedicated repair listed for it, you should normally select that repair directly.
For example, if the Nintendo DS has a visibly broken hinge, damaged charging socket, faulty touch screen or damaged LCD, select the appropriate dedicated repair service.
Choose Nintendo DS Fault Diagnosis when the problem is uncertain, the symptoms could have several causes or the repair you require is not listed on our website.
What Happens After We Diagnose Your Nintendo DS?
Once the fault has been investigated, we will explain what repair is required and provide the repair price where the console can be repaired.
You can then decide whether you would like us to proceed.
• If you proceed – the £20 diagnostic fee is deducted from the repair cost
• If you decline the repair – no additional repair fee is charged and the console is returned unrepaired
• If we cannot repair the console – the £20 diagnostic fee is non-refundable
We will not simply proceed with a differently priced repair without giving you the opportunity to decide whether you want to continue.
£20 Nintendo DS Diagnostic Fee
The diagnostic fee for an original Nintendo DS is £20.
The fee covers the time required to investigate the reported problem and determine the repair required where possible.
If you accept the repair, the £20 you have already paid is deducted from the repair cost. This means you do not pay the £20 diagnosis fee on top of the agreed repair price.
If the console cannot be repaired, the diagnostic fee remains payable and is non-refundable.
What Is Included in Nintendo DS Fault Diagnosis?
• Investigation of the reported Nintendo DS fault
• Inspection of relevant hardware and components
• Identification of the required repair where possible
• Repair price provided before additional repair work proceeds
• £20 diagnostic fee deducted if the repair proceeds
If the console is successfully repaired following diagnosis, the completed repair is covered by the warranty applicable to that repair.
Original Nintendo DS Fault Investigation

Should I select diagnosis if I already know what is wrong?
Usually not. If the fault clearly matches one of our dedicated Nintendo DS repair services, select that repair directly. Diagnosis is intended for faults that are uncertain or are not listed on our website.

Yes. If your original Nintendo DS has no power and the cause is unknown, select this service so that the fault can be investigated.
