My Dsi has always been in Good condition, and I have always taken good care of it, now it freezes, and Just now it wouldn't load any games, so I cleaned out the slot again and it loaded it, Giving me this message after booting

Let me start off by start off by asking a few diagnostic questions.

Have you dropped, jarred, or subjected your DSi to any kind of impact? Have you ever used any pirated games? Have you ever surfed the internet with it? Have you ever used your DSi to download something from a questionable source? Did you smell a burned or coppery smell right before this error occurred?

This will help rule out some possible problems.

Although you've been taking care of your DSi system, it's possible for a wire getting loose. I'd recommend calling Nintendo and see if they can repair or replace your system.

The only one of the Above was Surfing the Net, but thats just for Facebook/serebii, when I couldn't find my laptop Charger.

That seems like a Slot-1 related problem.
Contact issues probably caused the random freezings.

Cleaning the contacts might have done something to the contacts that would prevent them from reading the games properly.


May I Inquire on how one would come across Cleaning the game/DSi in a safe way?

Wires? In a DSi?

Yep, there are wires in a DSi. Although it's mostly made up of circuits, there are 3-5 wires inside of a DSi.
