Great tutorial. Managed to replace the top screen no problem, and I'd never soldered before. I just did a few practice solders. Folding the top screen cable and feeding it through the circular hole was the hardest part, just take your time.
Only thing I would add is to tape the shoulder buttons in place (on the outside of the case) when you're putting the motherboard back in. I went through about 20 minutes of the little springs flying off every time I tried.
Hint #2 cuts off the replacement of the silver sleeve that protects the ribbon cable. ARGH! also any tips for protecting the ribbon cable from being chewed up by tje open end of the silver sleeve?
This dude is a soldering god. It makes it look stupid easy. And has perfect soldering spots. He is badass. I've soldered for years and years and my solders do not look at good as his does.
That top screen ribbon sucks! I broke two Ds lites trying to change the housing. Today though, my ds broke from the hinge and the screen ribbon broke! So I ordered a. New screen. This video is more helpful than some others ive seen so hopefully this time I will fix my ds lite!! Thanks!
You make sliding the cover on look so easy. I checked that all the wires are in place but i still can't slide it on. Also, i don't know what happened. I changed the top screen and it works fine but now the bottom is looking fuzzy.
mate my top screen only displays flat background colors it lights and everything but no image just plain brackground colors, any ideas do i need a new one??? hope u could give me a hint. Thanks
i dont seem to have that silver stuff you put on to get the cables stuck together for the speakers... i guess its not going to work without it? :S ive already got everything apart as well :(

um does anyone know how to take off the glitch from the action replay for the DS because mine does a weird thing when i turn it on my ds chooses the download while i try to choose the game does anyone know how to fix that
Do most people have soldering irons? I don't so I think I'll just skip that stuff. I'll just wear headphones and get the sound and hope I don't need the mic. The ribbon tore on my top screen and this seems fun to try. Even if I fail, I've lived without my DS for a while anyway.
lol i got to this point on my own and was liek hell im doin good then i saw it and just was liek MOTHER COCK HO soldering? and found this video... since im already here i might as well look for ways to make my sound system MOre jacked up yea? yea dudee... this is SRS BZNEZ parts everywhere in other room....
after watching this vid i tried and failed, it took me 3 times before i got it right. E-bay has broken ds's that u can buy and then repair.great way to earn some decent cash.
sorry for answering half of the question. Yes it does feel like you could brake the components rather easily. If you do attempt this, have at least 1-10 hours on hand. this is a hard, and lengthy process.
Great videos, Now I just got to try and not lose patience with the Tri-wing that came with my replacement screen XD
