Bricking

What happens when your Nintendo DSi gets bricked?
like can you still use it?

No, it becomes equal to a brick.

lmaoDid it happen to you?

Lol....wut did u think "bricked" meant....how'd u fuck ur ds up?

AH but not only will it be a brick it will also double as a paper weight.now you got me curious, hell the DSi hasn't been out that long you and already bricked one!?
must know the "what,when and hows" of it.

pardon the noobness, but i also have no idea what "bricked" means.

Replying to #6

i will allow Seph to answer that

Seph · #2No, it becomes equal to a brick.

literally meaning A BRICK, of no more use cause it's broken, unrepairable by yourself in most cases

Except of a reinstall of original firmware, which doesn't always solve the type of issue.

Isn't there a battery fix for this?, like... you use a special unbricking battery? (or am i delusional from going 5 days without coffee? or sleep?)

i messed around with my nintendo dsi, found some interesting stuff, and i accidentally activated the bricking feature.
in future firmware updates, it will become activated.

[facepalm]this is why your not ment to mess around with things you have no idea about :D

You would be thinking of the Pandora's Battery for the PSP.

Don't loose faith. Hold on to that brick for a while longer.Think of your tinkering as an excavation. You've just hit a rough patch(or brick). Also, Don't think you're the only person doing this. Theres bound to be at least a few other people that are doing the same thing that you've done. there has to be some sort of way to unbrick it. Nintendo wouldn't make such a system(or would they).Wouldn't it be cool if there were a mod chip for the DSi? The only question is Where would you attach it? Cause the DSi has no DVD drive.

See, i was searching through the system to find if i could totally delete it so I'd never be bricked......... turns out i did the opposite and activated. I came close though........ i need to borrow someone's DSi to continue what i started.

what little research I did on DS bricking is not as bad as the PSP (this is before pandora battery came out) but it could be straightened out via a "flash me" card/program now for the DSi being newer tech it might be a diffrent story all together.

im e newbie to the ds world aswell. how do you even get a ds bricked??

I tought this only happens on psp

^No. jono, there's many things which modify firmware (hentai viewer etc.), most of these can actually be found on DarkFader's site :)
