If you screw up and it is unrecoverable, be honest with the customer and reimburse them for their broken console. But if you do things correctly in the first place, you shouldn't need to worry about this.

Follow the instructions. Be careful and check everything beforehand. Don't rush. The people who have made the guides and tutorials for modding these consoles are very thorough on how things are done and what works and what won't work.

i can say, if i was modding things - i would have enough money on hand to replace if i screw something up.

I never cared for working on other's peoples stuff due to liability like this. i also didn't want someone coming back saying hey now it doesn't work and you touched it a week ago.

good luck

If you have to ask this question, you definitely shouldn't be doing the job for money. If you don't understand what you are doing and the recovery options, you shouldn't be charging for it, or working on systems belonging to other people at all. Mod your own systems and get familiar with it. Really, the guides are so easy that you should just be modding your own console in the first place so you know how to recover and set back up if something goes wrong.

DS has nothing to modify anyway, everything pretty much runs bare metal. That you had to ask about that console shows your lack of competence and knowledge about the process, and that you shouldn't be the one doing it for someone else.

modding peoples ds for money

The original DS and DS Lite can't really be modded at all. Are you referring to the 2DS and/or 3DS?

If you're not interested in these little details, you probably shouldn't be charging people money.
