can't get my DSi to turn on

I can keep pressing the button and it works less than 10% of the time; it likes to randomly turn off

Battery's not the problem, it's new, maybe it's just loose. Charge is fine.

This is my only way of getting sketches on my computer, since I don't have a scanner and the 3DS camera is of a much lower quality than the DSi camera. I have a few sketches lying around my images folder, but aside from those no new art until I figure out the problem or get a scanner or something

I've had the DSi since like 2009 so maybe that's the problem

3DS photo quality seems about the same as DSi photo quality to me, so long as you turn on the "Low Light" setting.

The plastic wedge on the inside of your switch has probably worn down (depending on how often you've used it) or chipped at some point. You'll probably have to order a new power switch, take your DSi apart, and replace it. Be warned: lots of small parts in there. I've seen my dad take apart a few.

If you've taken it apart before, there's a chance that you could have accidentally damaged or loosened a cable.
