used this guide to swap the stock power connector to a usb micro one, was a bit tricky because the sockets I use have some holes on their sides where solder kept flowing in, but in the end it works and it’s totally worth it. did the same to my old ds lite too, works flawlessly.

Is the motherboard paired? I'm replacing a shotty chairing repair. (One of the pads on the charger port is ripped off and not soldered well) wouldn't it be easier just to swap the whole board and nothing else?
