Generic AC Power Adapter Charger for Nintendo 3DS/DSi/XL

Ordered this for an old DSi that had been stored for years. It does charge but fits a little lose. Just dont move it once you get it charging.

When I first ordered this adapter, the package showed up empty. It was just a sealed bubble package with nothing inside. Contacted amazon support and they sent out a replacement the next day. When I finally got the adapter, it worked as intended for about 3 months before a 1000uF capacitor inside of it blew. I opened it up, desoldered the bad capacitor, and soldered in a replacement part with a higher voltage rating, and had to cut a chunk out of the plastic encasement to make it fit, but the charger works again. Its made with cheap components, so dont be surprised if a capacitor breaks after a few months. If you know an electrical engineer or EE student, feel free to ask them to replace a capacitor in this when it stops working. Youll know which capacitor it is because the top of the capacitor will be rounded and not flat.

Received charger on date estimated and it works with my original DS, but not the DSi or 3DS. Cost was better than the game store.

Shorter than original

Son wanted to sell his old Nintendo DS but the charger was broken years ago. So found this and it worked to get it charged. Happy with purchase.
