Does your Nintendo DSi XL display “An error has occurred” when you try to launch a game or application? Console Wizard provides a professional repair service for this recurring Nintendo DSi XL application error.
Our Nintendo DSi XL Application Error Repair costs £44.99 and is intended for consoles that power on normally but display the recurring error message when attempting to open games or applications.
The message normally displayed is: “An error has occurred. Press and hold the POWER Button to turn the system off. Please refer to the Nintendo DSi Operations Manual for details.”
We treat this as a mainboard fault repair rather than assuming that one particular component is responsible in every console.
Nintendo DSi XL application error repairs are carried out at our Bolton, Greater Manchester repair centre, with a UK-wide repair service available for customers throughout the country.
Nintendo DSi XL “An Error Has Occurred” Message
This repair is specifically intended for the recurring Nintendo DSi XL error that can appear when attempting to launch a game or application.
Typical symptoms include:
• Nintendo DSi XL powers on normally
• Error appears when attempting to launch a game
• Error appears when attempting to open an application
• Black error screen appears after selecting software
• Multiple games or applications produce the same error
• Restarting the console does not permanently resolve the problem
If this describes the fault affecting your Nintendo DSi XL, this is the repair service to select.
What Does the Nintendo DSi XL Application Error Say?
The recurring error normally displays the following message:
“An error has occurred. Press and hold the POWER Button to turn the system off. Please refer to the Nintendo DSi Operations Manual for details.”
Turning the console off and restarting it may simply result in the same error returning when a game or application is opened again.
This page is specifically for the recurring application error described above rather than every possible error message that a Nintendo DSi XL can display.
Nintendo DSi XL Application Error Mainboard Repair
Console Wizard treats the recurring Nintendo DSi XL application error as a mainboard fault repair.
We do not assume that every Nintendo DSi XL displaying this message has exactly the same failed component. The console is assessed and the relevant fault is repaired as required.
This allows the fault to be investigated properly rather than replacing components unnecessarily based solely on the error message displayed on the screen.
Error When Loading Nintendo DSi XL Games
One common symptom is the Nintendo DSi XL menu loading normally but the error appearing when a game is launched.
If the console recognises the cartridge but repeatedly displays the application error when attempting to start games, this service may be appropriate.
If the Nintendo DSi XL does not recognise inserted cartridges at all, however, select our separate Nintendo DSi XL Cartridge Slot Repair instead.
Error When Opening Nintendo DSi XL Applications
The same recurring error can occur when attempting to open applications on the Nintendo DSi XL.
If applications repeatedly produce the “An error has occurred” screen rather than loading normally, the console may require this mainboard fault repair.
The important distinction is that this service targets the recurring application-launch error rather than an individual game cartridge that simply cannot be detected.
Application Error or Cartridge Slot Fault?
These are two different Nintendo DSi XL faults.
Select the Nintendo DSi XL Application Error Repair if:
• The console displays “An error has occurred” when launching software
• Games are detected but produce the recurring error when opened
• Applications also produce the same recurring error
Select our separate Nintendo DSi XL Cartridge Slot Repair if:
• Game cartridges are not recognised
• Multiple known-working games do not appear
• The cartridge reader or its internal pins are physically damaged
This distinction helps ensure that you select the repair that matches the symptoms affecting your console.
What Is Included in the Nintendo DSi XL Application Error Repair?
• Assessment of the reported application error
• Mainboard fault repair as required
• Testing of game and application loading
• Professional console dismantling and reassembly where required
• Final console functionality check
• 3-month repair warranty
The Nintendo DSi XL is tested after the repair to confirm that the recurring application error has been resolved.
How We Repair the Nintendo DSi XL Application Error
When your Nintendo DSi XL arrives, our engineer checks the reported symptoms and confirms when the error occurs.
The console is assessed to establish the fault responsible for the recurring application error rather than assuming that a particular component needs replacing.
The required mainboard repair is then carried out and the console is tested again.
Games, applications and general console functionality are checked as appropriate before the Nintendo DSi XL is returned.
What If My DSi XL Has a Different Error?
This £44.99 repair is specifically for the recurring “An error has occurred” fault when attempting to load games or applications.
The Nintendo DSi XL can display other error messages for different faults. If the message displayed by your console is different, do not automatically select this repair.
If you are unsure what is wrong with your Nintendo DSi XL, select our separate fault diagnosis service so that the problem can be investigated.

What error message does this repair cover?
This service is specifically intended for the recurring “An error has occurred. Press and hold the POWER Button to turn the system off” message that appears when attempting to launch games or applications.
Can you repair a DSi XL that shows “An error has occurred”?
Yes. Console Wizard provides a mainboard fault repair service for Nintendo DSi XL consoles affected by this recurring application error.
Does the error have to appear when loading a game?
No. The fault can also occur when attempting to open applications. This service is intended for the recurring error affecting application or game loading.
Does this mean my cartridge slot is faulty?
Not necessarily. If the console recognises the cartridge but produces the recurring error when attempting to launch it, the application error repair may be appropriate. If cartridges are not recognised at all, select our separate cartridge slot repair.
Is this always caused by one particular component?
No. We do not assume that one particular component is responsible in every console. The Nintendo DSi XL is assessed and the relevant mainboard fault is repaired as required.
What if restarting the DSi XL temporarily clears the error?
If the same error repeatedly returns when games or applications are launched, the console may still require repair. A temporary restart does not necessarily resolve the underlying fault.
