Instructions for changing Nintendo DS Lite housing - Part 1 of 2

[hellrazor117]

wow...the 360 is easier to take apart than that shit...

[KryptikKash]

I got the same Triwing! Thanx for the video.

[QauNuckShin]

Worked great! I made some mistakes and had to go back a few times (even forgot to put the buttons back in once :P). The biggest problem was that my touch screen (the touch part, not the screen) stopped working at first - it would respond on the "touch to continue" screen at startup, but then nothing. Really weird. I went and reinserted the (very small) touch screen ribbon. Worked like a charm afterwards.

[AdamJamesLee]

I'm having trouble unscrewing the tri screws put in, i have the correct screwdriver however the screw just seems to not turn anti clockwise, any help?

[drak567]

can you awnser my question:

i am puting this case over his ds and i need help on the L and R part

how come i cant take it out?

[theshonen8899]

WARNING!

The ribbon cables are extremely easy to tear!

Be careful when rolling/unrolling the top LCD ribbon cable and make sure the bottom LCD doesn't move around too much because the thin ribbon cable on the top keeps moving back and forth.

[bertha15ful]

@rayquazaboi Hi

I have the same problem - did you manage to resolve it??

[shylyn123]

@rayquazaboi this means u didnt fit the flatwire in all the way

[shylyn123]

@rayquazaboi this means u didnt fit the flatwire in all the way. Make sure u push it in all the way and click it in.

[anthjero]

where did u get the housing.?

[skybabylon1]

Can you make a video for the Dsi please i need to change my housing for it...I WILL SUBSCRIBE IF YOU DO!

[manicania]

How do you get the rubber things out of the top part? I can't do it...

[TheSCOHara]

do i have to keep track of which screw goes where?

[kyle286]

So did your housing come with that metal sticker thing and decent parts? i might buy the camo case. seen it on ebay earlier.

[PhantomLink29]

My case has been broken for over a year now. Thank you for putting this tutorial up. Now my dad and I won't be so nervous about taking it apart when I finally get around to ordering my replacement case.

[LLDJ1997]

Thanks for your vid, changed my son's case with your instructions. My old eyes are sore now! Thanks again.

[daburahg]

@LLDJ1997

Glad it was of some use to you, haha. That was an interesting project to do.

[everts24]

Great video!! Thanks from Holland!!

[MicroLight15]

the rubber pieces i just stabbed it with the screw driver on one side and it came out easy -_-

[phmc2]

I tried to do this because there was a hinge crack on my old ds shell, so a bought a new one. But when I was switching it, my flatwire cable broke and now I have to buy a new top screen :( Anyway, my old one was with a pixel error(a big sprite at the middle of the screen).

[Zzer0zZ]

Not as Easy as the PSP :(

i guess ill wait to repair my DS litle

[RivalBro]

Do you have a guide on replacing housing shell of DS Phat?

[Earthworm401]

[daburahg]

I myself am not that familiar with what you're looking for, but I'll ask my buddy (who's featured in the video) if he's ever done that before.

[Flawless250]

What a useful video.
