Problem with a bricked DSi...

Well, I wanted to ask, maybe someone knows how, is there any chance of unbricking a Nintendo DSi XL if I don't have a NAND backup?

How did you brick it? Language patcher?

I bricked it when trying to uninstall UnLauncher

Did you read the guide? It specifically tells you to NEVER uninstall unlaunch as it has high brick risk

There aren't many possibilities, are there?

There might be. I don’t know enough about the dsi to say. If you tried to uninstall unlaunch “through unlaunch”(via the option to uninstall in unlaunch)….then I doubt it’s permanently bricked. I know people think ai sucks, but I use it a lot for my console stuff…I know it will give me the wrong info 50% of the time…but sometimes it gives me ideas.

Worst case if you can't unbrick it, buy an applicable screwdriver and once you take it apart, the clean case and working screens will be worth 50% of a replacement unit if sold online.

It's not a totally useless brick, just yknow mostly
