Tips & Warnings

• Refurbished AC Adapters are “like new.” They have been tested and have 90-day limited warranties.
• You can buy from a brick and mortar building, too. Ask the sales clerk about registering for the warranty.
• You can buy third party accessories, but they aren’t covered by the Nintendo DS warranty.
