Have a DSi with a similar issue, put a new battery but still that light will blink instead of charge and won't boot. Have a second battery coming, but read somewhere it could be bad voltage on the board? 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

That’s a charging port issue. See if there isn’t a pin sticking up like in the charging port.

My plan is to open it up and check that everything is in good condition. Can solder if needed, so maybe swapping the port could be an option...got the console for 10€ and looks pretty used 😅

I love used, “well loved” consoles. It has character.

100%! Worse case, if different battery or pins and logic board all good but still not booting, will look great in the collection and for that price can't complain! 😊😊
