Hello I was installing the XCM hyper gear lite to my nintendo ds. the projekt was going well but when i soderet the extra resistor to point r2, My soldering iron picket up capacitor c2 when is removed the iron. I first discovered it after it had ben on the tip of the iron in a solder blop in 5 minutes. I toke it out of the solder blop and tried to measure the cap. with my fluke 111 to see the size of it but could not get enny reading of . Is ther enny one how know the size of cap c2 in the ndsl ?
If I find time I can take my daughter's ds lite apart, but I'm not sure how to measure the c2 cap. I replaced the power switch and 2 fuses on it, those things are small and hard to solder.
Now that I have the experience of fixing my daughters ds lite, I could probably buy or get broken ones and fix them up, but there is not much resale value on them now. I could perhaps get into fixing 3ds. Sorry, I haven't been help. I've been busy working. I don't think the part I found can work for C2, I used them for F1 and F2. Here is the site that I used for those, the L2 fuse and power switch. http://www.miniinthebox.com/safety-for-nintendo-ds-lite_p156688.html There is also a temporary fix that I used until my parts arrived that might work for you until you get the part. Carefully scrape the contacts on each to make sure you have contact with the metal and use a circuit writer pen to draw a line across the part to complete the circuit from one side to the other.
I used to repair a lot of ds's when they were current. I threw away a lot of the PCBs, but I may have one kicking around. I will see if I can find one and get you the value of the cap
