Charge Port repair or replacementon DS Lite

I purchased this at a yard sale for 5 dollars and was told the charger port is irreparably damaged by the people in the local repair shop. I came here to figure out how to fix it. Googling it did nothing. I have yet to open it up.

So far the only thing i know is that it doesn’t charge.

Is there any way to repair or replace the port and if so what tools would I need? I already bought a Mako screwdriver set and am ready to try whatever. Preferable I would like to replace the busted port with a type C port or another common charging cable type.

Hi Colin!

The Nintendo DS Lite charge port is a custom port which Nintendo used for the Nintendo DS Lite only.

But you CAN replace the port for a USB-C one! But the downside is that you do need to solder. Do you have any experience with soldering?? You need a soldering iron, a philips screw driver (00) and a tri-wing screw driver (0 and 00).

You need to take the motherboard out first. Guide: Nintendo DS Lite Motherboard Replacement

And then replace the charge port for the USB-C one.

Please check the guides if you feel comfortable to do it by yourself! Otherwise you do need to bring it to a shop. You can also buy the part in the provided link.

Please let us know how it goes!
