Has the hinge broken or cracked on your Nintendo DSi? Our professional Nintendo DSi hinge repair is designed to repair damage around the hinge area and restore the structural support between the upper and lower sections of the console.
Our Nintendo DSi broken hinge repair costs £59.99. The right-hand hinge area is a common location for this type of damage.
If your DSi hinge has broken, we strongly recommend that you stop opening, closing or continuing to use the console. Movement of a damaged hinge can place additional strain on the top LCD ribbon cable and potentially cause further damage.
Nintendo DSi hinge repairs are carried out at our Bolton, Greater Manchester repair centre, with a UK-wide repair service available for customers throughout the country.
Common Nintendo DSi Hinge Problems
Damage around the Nintendo DSi hinge can appear in several different ways.
Common symptoms include:
• Nintendo DSi hinge is cracked
• Right-hand hinge area has broken
• Top screen feels loose when opened
• Hinge no longer holds the top screen correctly
• Hinge area separates when the console is opened
• Plastic around the hinge has cracked or broken
• Top section moves excessively when using the console
If the console still operates correctly but the hinge area has broken or cracked, this is the repair service to select.
Nintendo DSi Broken Hinge Repair
The hinge connects the upper and lower sections of the Nintendo DSi and allows the top screen to open and close while remaining supported in its normal operating position.
When the hinge area becomes cracked or broken, the top section can become loose and further movement can place additional stress on components passing between the two halves of the console.
Our Nintendo DSi hinge repair is specifically for repairing the damaged hinge area and restoring the structural support required for normal operation.
Stop Using Your Nintendo DSi If the Hinge Breaks
If your Nintendo DSi hinge has broken, we recommend that you stop opening and closing the console until it has been repaired.
The top LCD ribbon cable passes through the hinge area. Continued movement after the hinge has broken can place unnecessary strain on this cable.
A DSi that initially has only a broken hinge can therefore develop a top-screen fault if it continues to be used with the hinge unsupported.
Stopping use as soon as the hinge damage is noticed can reduce the risk of the fault becoming more extensive.
Does the Nintendo DSi Top Screen Still Work?
The condition of the top LCD is important when assessing a Nintendo DSi with a broken hinge.
If the top LCD is still displaying correctly and the primary problem is the broken hinge, this hinge repair may be suitable.
If the top LCD has already stopped working following the hinge damage, the console has suffered an additional fault and the hinge repair alone will not restore the screen.
Your current Nintendo DSi hinge service is intended for consoles where the hinge is damaged but the top LCD remains operational.
Nintendo DSi Hinge Repair – Not a Complete Re-Shell
Console Wizard does not carry out complete re-shells on Nintendo DSi consoles.
This service is specifically for repairing the damaged hinge area. It should not be ordered as a cosmetic service to replace the complete outer shell or change the colour of the console.
Scratches, marks or unrelated cosmetic damage elsewhere on the Nintendo DSi casing are therefore not included within this hinge repair.
Cracked Nintendo DSi Hinge
A hinge does not necessarily need to separate completely before it requires repair.
If a crack has appeared around the hinge area but the top section is still attached, continued opening and closing can allow the damage to become worse.
We recommend arranging the repair while the top LCD is still working rather than continuing to use the console until the hinge fails completely.
Loose Nintendo DSi Hinge
A damaged hinge can also cause the top screen to feel unusually loose or prevent it from being supported correctly when the console is open.
If the looseness is being caused by damage to the hinge area, this service can be used to repair the affected hinge.
If there is no visible damage and you are unsure what is causing the problem, contact us or select our Nintendo DSi fault diagnosis service.

How We Repair a Nintendo DSi Broken Hinge
When the Nintendo DSi arrives, our engineer checks the hinge damage and confirms that the top LCD is still operating correctly.
The console is carefully dismantled so that the damaged hinge area can be accessed and repaired.
The Nintendo DSi is then professionally reassembled before the hinge movement, top-screen operation and general console functionality are tested.

Nintendo DSi Hinge Repair FAQs
How much does a Nintendo DSi hinge repair cost?
Our Nintendo DSi broken hinge repair costs £59.99.
Can you repair a cracked Nintendo DSi hinge?
Yes. If the hinge area has cracked or broken but the top LCD is still working correctly, this service is designed to repair the damaged hinge area.
Should I keep using my Nintendo DSi with a broken hinge?
No. We recommend stopping use of the console once the hinge breaks. Continuing to open and close a damaged hinge can place additional strain on the top LCD ribbon cable and may cause further damage.
Can a broken Nintendo DSi hinge damage the top screen?
Yes. The top-screen ribbon cable passes through the hinge area, so excessive movement after the hinge has broken can potentially damage the cable and cause an additional top-screen fault.
Can you repair the hinge if my Nintendo DSi top screen still works?
Yes. This is the ideal situation for this service: the hinge is broken or cracked but the top LCD remains operational.
What if the top screen has already stopped working?
If the top LCD has also failed following the hinge damage, the console has an additional screen fault. The £59.99 hinge repair alone does not include replacement of a faulty top LCD.
Does this service include a complete Nintendo DSi shell replacement?
No. Console Wizard does not carry out complete re-shells on Nintendo DSi consoles. This service is specifically for repairing the damaged hinge area.
Can I use this service to change the colour of my Nintendo DSi?
No. This is a functional hinge repair rather than a cosmetic re-shell or colour-change service.
