@AparoidX

Do you have a guide for fixing my DS Lite? The hinge broke and the ribbon cable appears to be damaged. Any guides to help me? I've looked and most I've found are very vague or for professionals.

thats what u get from buying it from ebay =D

[marxandkirbyrocks]

I have the same exact pink DS you have.Mine is old and after I haven't played with it in a long time I found out that when you turn it on it only shows white on every screen. How do I fix this myself? It is now worthless and I'm lucky that I have a DSI. I even have an old Gameboy SP that still works,so I play all my old games on there. I plan to sell nothing!!!!

[AparoidX]

Go to AcidMods. They're a helpful community for not only fixing all sorts of systems but also modding.

[annoyingismyname]

@pokemasterq Mine turns on too, except the top screen's just White..

[HorseChoker00]

Can't i just open it anf fix it?

[AparoidX]

Yeah.

[CKproductions111]

thats why you dont buy things off ebay.

but it was only 25$ so it dont really matter you know something fun you can do?? you can smash it with a hammer

[AparoidX]

I knew it was broken in the first place.

[timerman19]

I need help. ONE MONTH after my warranty ended, my ds lite acted strange. Whenever the top screen is moved, the system shuts down. Now, not only that, but it turns off randomly all of the time! Someone I asked online said it had something to do with a ribbon and a belt, but I have no Idea what he's talking about! Please PM ME with a reply!

[samuraisansaetern]

how did it go? did you fix it?

[AparoidX]

I ran into another obstacle; soldering the speakers onto the ribbon cable for the top screen. I was going to fix that a long time ago, but I never got around to it.

If I finish that up, the rest should be a breeze.

[satscout]

That's the stage where I am in trying to fix my son's DS. I finally got the soldering iron, desoldering braid, etc. and was looking for a video showing someone desoldering the speakers and soldering them to the new top screen.

[Stardomproductions]

my lil siters has just had hers do this and shes just got tons of games for xmas :S how hard is it for a lite and if you could can you link me to a guide plz :)

[AparoidX]

I don't know, I'd recommend you watch a video on a complete disassembly or case replacement of a DS Lite several times. Then try it yourself and get familiar with the insides and the tear-down process.

If you want really good support, check out AcidMods.

[SorrowNight]

Hmmm, well, that's all up to you I guess.

[SorrowNight]

You wanna sell this after you fix it or what?

[AparoidX]

I'm probably just going to keep it. After all it was pretty cheap. But I could sell it.

[squalg]

shouldnt be too hard to fix. i looked into this a while ago

[AparoidX]

Yep, me too.
