Upgrade your Nintendo DSi to USB-C charging with our professional USB-C charging port modification. The original proprietary Nintendo charging socket is permanently removed and replaced with a modern USB-C connection.
Our Nintendo DSi USB-C modification costs £49.99 and includes the appropriate 5.1kΩ CC resistors, allowing the modified console to charge using both USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C cables with suitable USB power sources.
The USB-C connection is for charging only and does not add USB data-transfer functionality.
Nintendo DSi USB-C modifications are carried out at our Bolton, Greater Manchester repair centre, with a UK-wide service available for customers throughout the country.
Upgrade Your Nintendo DSi to USB-C Charging
The Nintendo DSi originally uses Nintendo's proprietary charging connection, requiring a compatible Nintendo charger.
Our Nintendo DSi USB-C mod permanently replaces this original charging connection with USB-C, allowing the console to be charged using a suitable USB-C cable and power source.
This provides a convenient modern charging connection without adding USB data functionality that was not provided by the original DSi charging system.
USB-C Replaces the Original Nintendo DSi Charging Port
The original proprietary Nintendo DSi charging socket is removed as part of the conversion and replaced with a USB-C charging connection.
The conversion is permanent. Once your Nintendo DSi has been modified, the original Nintendo charging connection is no longer available and the console is charged through its new USB-C port.
USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C Charging
Our Nintendo DSi USB-C modification supports both:
• USB-A to USB-C charging
• USB-C to USB-C charging
This means the modified Nintendo DSi is not restricted to USB-A charging sources.
The USB-C connection is correctly configured so that suitable USB-C power sources can recognise the console as a device requiring power.
5.1kΩ USB-C CC Resistors Fitted
A proper USB-C charging conversion involves more than simply installing a socket with a USB-C connector.
USB-C uses Configuration Channel connections, commonly referred to as CC lines, which allow a compatible USB-C source to detect when a device requiring power has been connected.
Our Nintendo DSi USB-C modification includes the appropriate 5.1kΩ CC pull-down resistors.
These allow suitable USB-C charging sources to detect the modified console and provide the appropriate power supply, enabling USB-C to USB-C charging as well as conventional USB-A to USB-C charging.
Charging Only – No USB Data Transfer
It is important to understand exactly what our Nintendo DSi USB-C modification provides.
The USB-C connection is installed specifically to replace the console's original charging connection.
• USB-C charging – Yes
• USB-A to USB-C charging – Yes
• USB-C to USB-C charging – Yes
• USB data transfer – No
Connecting the modified Nintendo DSi to a computer using a USB-C cable will not provide file-transfer functionality through the charging port.
The modification modernises the way the Nintendo DSi receives charging power. It does not create a USB data interface.
Does the USB-C Mod Make a Nintendo DSi Charge Faster?
No claim of increased charging speed is made as part of this modification.
USB-C provides a modern and convenient charging connection, but the Nintendo DSi continues to use its existing internal charging system.
The purpose of the modification is therefore charging convenience and cable compatibility, rather than converting the Nintendo DSi into a modern fast-charging device.
Can I Still Use My Original Nintendo DSi Charger?
No. The original Nintendo DSi charging socket is removed as part of the USB-C conversion.
Once modified, the proprietary Nintendo charger can no longer be connected to the console.
Your Nintendo DSi will instead be charged through its newly installed USB-C connection.
USB-C Modification for a Damaged Nintendo DSi Charging Port
The USB-C modification can also be a useful alternative if the original Nintendo DSi charging socket is already physically damaged or unreliable.
Common symptoms of a damaged charging connection can include:
• Nintendo DSi not charging
• Charging cuts in and out
• Charger needs moving to establish a connection
• Charger needs holding at an angle
• Charging connector feels loose
• Charging socket is visibly damaged
• Charging socket has become loose from the motherboard
Rather than replacing the damaged proprietary socket with another original-style charging connection, you can choose to have the Nintendo DSi converted to USB-C charging.
Original Charging Port Repair or USB-C Modification?
Console Wizard provides two options if the original Nintendo DSi charging socket is damaged.
Select our standard Nintendo DSi Charging Port Repair if you want the faulty socket replaced with an original-style charging connection.
Select this Nintendo DSi USB-C Modification if you would prefer the proprietary charging connection to be permanently replaced with USB-C.
