Tri-Wing drivers are very easy to get hold of. and then Nintendo have shell out for a replacement when the failure was the user’s fault. The idea is that the “proprietary” connector stops people from using the wrong supply, nuking their hardware and then sending it back to Nintendo. >uses of utterly proprietary and nonsense power they have shipped millions and millions of units. I’m pretty sure they know what they’re doing. (80 hour battery life on 2 AA’s with an external battery pack plug on top of that.
NINTENDO DS CHARGER TYPE PORTABLE
This was back in 2000ish and it was a good enough model of portable CD player that it was worth saving. I wish I had the unit or even took pictures, but I did a similar hack to a portable CD player after the circular jack broke. Tired of proprietary plugs and wall warts. Put me in the group where Mini or Micro USB should be on EVERY electronics device. USB wall warts automatically push out 500mAh, I have two that will provide up to 1.2A right out of the socket. The general rule is within 5% (and some cases, within 10%) voltage (over/under) if it’s not matched, unless the electronics are especially sensitive… and to provide more amperage than it draws. The DS charges just fine at 5v 500mAh, since the power brick does 5.2v at 450mAh. Cut the USB cable off and wired the cables accordingly. I had a dead mouse that I saved for parts. I did a variation of this hack by using a cable cut off from a cheap plastic Car Adapter that came with the NDS Carrying case I bought on markdown. Considering it’s encased in solid hot glue, I don’t suspect it’ll ever break (like the original product did), and I’ve been using it for a solid two years now, I’d say.Īs for this project, it’s a great little implementation that I could definitely see doing myself - eliminates another adapter, which is always nice. It came out (after a little shaping of the dried glue) as a small adapter of the perfect shape and size for my needs… I paid a little more than I maybe should have for the parts, sure, but a nice little hack. I took the two I needed (female USB, male DSPhat), soldered on /much/ shorter wires (probably about 1/2″), lined them up and “potted” the whole thing with hot glue. I didn’t, though - when I got home, I took a look at it and saw that the plastic shell that formed the “puck” was completely empty (what I had expected, really) save for the connectors. Despite the fact that I was still in the Best Buy parking lot, I was in a bit of a hurry so I went on my way, planning to make a return later. It was all cheap plastic, though, and the puck literally split in two as I pulled the anti-theft packaging open (ugh, hate that plastic).
NINTENDO DS CHARGER TYPE PLUS
I actually bought a third-party charger that had a USB cable and a little “puck” that had a mini-b female jack, and a male jack of the GBASP/DSPhat variety (what I needed), plus a jack of the DSLite variety.
