Recharge Indicator Light Blinks
Nintendo DSi
The information in this article can help when the orange recharge indicator light on the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL is blinking.
Note: If the orange recharge indicator light blinks while the system is plugged in and charging, then it is likely that the battery is not installed properly. Properly inserting the battery should resolve the issue.
What to do
If you have ensured that the battery is installed properly but the orange light still blinks, check to make sure that the battery is a licensed by Nintendo. The only licensed Nintendo DSi battery will have the model number TWL-003 (Nintendo DSi) or UTL-003 (Nintendo DSi XL) and will display Nintendo's logo.
- If the battery does not have the model number TWL-003 or UTL-003 then it is likely not a licensed battery and a licensed replacement should be purchased:
