    • Unscrew the two Phillips screws securing the battery cover to the lower case.

    • The screws remain captive to the battery cover.

    • Grasp the battery cover and lift it out of the lower case.

    • If it's difficult to grasp, lightly tap the opposite side of the device.

    • Using a spudger tool (or your fingernail), lift up the battery from the top.

    • The liquid damage indicator sits underneath the battery. Pry gently, or you may damage the indicator.

    • There's a small tab on the top of the battery to make removal easier.

    • Grasp the battery and remove it from the DSi.

    This is also where the water damage indicator is located, if that's important

    • Two screws are hidden underneath two rubber feet highlighted in red.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to pry the rubber feet out of the lower case.

    One of the feet did break on me, tweezers came in handy for picking it out

    Willie Narvaez -

    I unfolded and sharpened a paperclip. You can use that to stab and hook the rubber without tearing it, as the rubber is thick enough to reseal when reinserted.

    Keegan Andersen -

    Nasty, broke my spudger and the feet in this step.

    • Remove the following screws securing the lower case to the body of the DSi:

    • Six 5.2 mm Phillips #00 screws.

    • One 2.7 mm Phillips #00 screw.

    Impossible d'enlever les vises… trop serré! comment faire?

    • Insert the spudger in between the lower casing and lower panel near the top right corner of the DSi.

    • Carefully run the spudger along the edge of the outer casing, creating an opening between the body and the casing.

    • Continue running the spudger around the body of the DSi until the majority of the lower case has been separated.

    • Carefully lift the lower casing from its bottom edge.

    • The lower case is still attached to the motherboard by the volume and SD board cable highlighted in red. Do not try to completely remove the lower case of the DSi yet.

    • Pry the volume and SD board cable up from its socket on the motherboard using a spudger.

    • Once the cable is completely removed, then you may take off the entire outer casing.

Conclusione

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
