My DSi broke today and off course I still have warranty. But I wanna know if I can get my DSiware back on my new DSi(that Ninty will send me). Because I spent really much on it, I have almost all the EU games so it pretty sucks when I can't get it back...
Not playing on my DSi for two weeks sucks even more I think...
I believe the answer is yes, when you send in your DSi they do transfer over all of your data and you get to keep your previous purchases and such. The reason I think this is because that's exactly what they do for broken Wiis, they switch over your whole account onto the new Wii. My friend has gone through three Wiis, and they did the same thing each time. Quite the unlucky little bugger, but at least he has all of his stuffs....
When I had to send my wii in a few years ago after its mother board bit the dust, they transferred my account to the new wii and re-downloaded my VC and Wiiware games for me. Unfortunately they were not able to transfer save game files.
You can't do it by yourself. I tried transferring my DSiWare to another DSi via SD card. Didn't work. But Nintendo could do something. Why not send it to them?
Contact Nintendo personally and it wouldn't hurt to also post a topic on the Nintendo Tech Support Forums. They'll give you the same answer but they'll give you some more details on the phone number and stuff.
Why not try contacting Nintendo directly? Whether by phone or e-mail, they want your business and they'll be able to give you a definite answer. Usually there's links/e-mail forms at the support site for your region, and a customer service phone number too.

And I'm going to send my DSi tomorrow so... Next week it's vacation here, and it pretty sucks if I don't have it back then
Btw maybe I am a bit lucky, because the new colors are coming this friday, and if Nintendo gets me a new one I think I want that smexy dark blue metallic DSi

sorry for my dumb remarks about how they take the hardrive to the new dsi body :/ also sorry to the mods for what i said :/ well anyways if your hardrive was not damaged they will take into the new dsi body
This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade. And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
Awww I got a letter from Nintendo, and they told me that broken contact pins arent don't fall under warranty and that they wanna sell me a new DSi for 80 euros...

Why oh why don't they just give me a new one!
That seems really wierd that they won't atleast give a new DSi. I thought if it was under warrenty they had to give you a new one.
