My dsi wont read sd cards at all

After factory resetting my dsi it would no longer read sd cards stating "The device inserted in the SD Card Slot can't be used." I have tried everything from completely replacing the sd card slot to using ten different sd cards.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi!

The DSi is still able to read the SD cards (as it’s saying that it cant be used). This is most of the time caused by the SD card it self. How is the SD card formatted? Be sure it’s FAT32 formatted.

The official max size supported is up to 32GB (as those cards can be formatted in FAT32).

More info here: https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Support/N....

Please let us know how it goes!

I have formatted all of the sd cards in FAT32 and it still wouldn't recognize them.

Hi! You could try the format tool that Nintendo suggest: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com...

Please let us know if this worked. Thanks!
