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.
