SOLVED

if the dealer means by prevention out of japan sale, that would actually constitute to region lock, not parental lock. Parental lock can be turned on and off.

You most probably can't download any software, but we can't confirm this as not many own an NDSi.

How could the bloody dealer sell u in the first place? If he know Nintendo is going to lock us out!

That's odd. I don't know if this the default setting for new DSi, but usually parental control in devices are off by default. And even if it's turned on by default, there should be some documentations on how to unlock it with default password or something like that.

I think your DSi is a used second-hand unit.

I share the same view as PM.

wow..so fast got 2nd hand unit?

It's a Master Keys that it needs... i am not sure whether master key and parental controller is same ccode... but when i want to surf the shop, it ask me to enter the Master Key, is it normal??

Perhaps the shop already messed with it and forgot the password.

Added on March 13, 2009, 2:00 pmand FYI, if totally new, there are some steps to follow when you first on the NDSi, setting the time, setting the user name. i dunno that had you experienced that.
but i afraid like other ppl mention, maybe the shop keeper had open that and set everything include the master key.

Added on March 13, 2009, 2:23 pmIt had been known that you still need the password (4 numbers) to reset your NDSi too.
This is what I found online as I cannot open my NDSi.

but maybe like ppl said, second hand unit. Dun be shock, you can find many second hand unit at Japan now, lowest price is 14800yen which is roughly RM592 if divide by 25

hmm... at last!!! get rid of the problem.. the dealer change a new device for me,,, unfortunately black to white(it's for my GF anyway)...
Yes the time when i got my ndsi, it's all set which shock me a bit but i didn't bother since they promise me a new machine....
It's the other branches whom he took the machine from who set but didnt admit till i disguise via phone that inside the NDSi itself contained a picture taken by the camera... The guy was speechless and had no choice but to give me new machine... VOILA... ^^

and thanks to musha san ^^, your guide was helpful to me... amazing that u (type??) the japanese and the translation

new NDSi in hand and still unset ... GG ^^

Thnx everyone to involve urself in my topic ^^/

So I was right about the DSi being tampered with before.

Japanese? copy paste la, just do the translation..

yes it does ^^.. but they do exchange for my satisfaction ^^.. including free 2nd delivery

I thought u are able to read the Japanese.. haha.. Translator.. I see i see XD

thanx kyoyagami san.. but in the end the shop is OK with the initiative to change new one for me ^^

I dunno where is the shop but the delivery man did said that he had to go back to summit, the new electronic shop.. O.o

It's useful for you to provide shop and location name so that we are able to at least do cross references in the future. As to what shops that we might want to avoid.
