I got a DS Lite from US. It came with the 110V charger. Can I get a 220V charger in Mumbai?

Ran into an issue with my DS Lite which I had bought a couple of months back. The charger a chinese one that the shopkeeper gave me is not charging the device.

The amber LED turns on for a few seconds and stops.

After a while I realized something might be wrong with the charger as it seemed to be getting hot and the charging would stop. I tried to open the charger but could only remove 1 screw. The second one just would not budge. After prying open the cover a bit and twisting it so that it remains open a bit for a bit of ventilation I saw that the ds lite was getting charged. The LED would flicker a bit but was charging. Once in between it did turn off but it did started charging again immediately.

On googling I found that some people had a fuse issue which caused issues in charging. But, I am not sure if that is the case.

Can some one please comment on what might be the issue.

I don't know anyone who owns a ds lite so I can't get a spare charger to test and the original charger is 110v which won't work.

Please Help.
 
Get a 230v to 110v converter and use your original charger with that. This would be much better than any cheap chinese/local fakes.

You can get the converter for 150-200 Rs from electrical shops.
 
@pr0ing Thanks for replying. Found a converter but the build quality seemed very shabby and it was the only one he had. It had 6 months warranty but I was not really sure which will explode first the converter or the DS Lite. Can you recommend a converter from a good company?

For the time being I got myself another charger so that I ensure that the DS Lite is ok and continue playing.
