How to Replace a Nintendo DS Lite External Extension Connector
The Nintendo DS Lite portable video gaming system contains a rechargeable internal Li-ion battery, meaning the machine never has to be opened up to switch out expired AAs like Game Boy players had to do. However, the machine is beholden to a specific brand of power adapter used to recharge the battery: the external extension connector, also known as an AC Adapter. Changing this connector isn't hard, but you have to get the right model.
