help me please... my ds don't turn on. i do everythin in de tutorial but when i put de battery an porwer on de green led is on an de lcd flashes then power off the ds.
THANK YOU! I used an old instructable to replace shell on son's ds lite,turned it on, light blinked then shut off. Every troubleshooting thing I could find said it was probably bad screen or messed up wire. Found your videos & watched the whole thing. Turns out the ribbon wasn't in tight enough - was REALLY scared to push it hard (hubby ruined one by tearing it),but watching you, I did what you did & felt it pop in! Son's going to be thrilled, he doesn't know I did this. You are now a FAVORITE!
Please Please Please Please make the last part of this video!!!! This is the best how to on how to change the case of a ndsl, and I don't quite follow the others. Thanks!
I have a big problem... When I turn on my DSL, it just flashes with a white screen and doesn't start. The battery was not empty. I don't know what to do... HELP!?
@xTigerAkash97x - The most common reason for that is because your flat wire was not connected properly. Re-open your case and check to be sure the flat wire is pushed in far enough. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to tell you. ):
Check out 'How to repair a Nintendo DS Lite NDSL Touch Screen, Part 2 by the same author. This vid will show you how to complete the case replacement.
this has been uploaded since August 19, 2009 and we're March 28, 2011... guys please upload part 4. My lil girl's ds touch screen is scratch and I would like to replace it and change the case as well. Perhaps you uploaded the video under another name?
I think your videos are great and everything was going well, but I've hit a road block. The problem is that the top cover to my replacement case doesn't slide up all the way. I'm positive I did it right because I put the old top cover on and it fits perfectly. If anybody can help I would highly appreciate it. If at all possible before Thursday. Thank you.
One of supermodchips other ds repair videos shows the rebuild after part 3.
Just wanted to say thankyou :O) You have enabled me to repair my daughters ds at home and replace the entire case in time for christmas. Thankyou and Merry Christmas from the UK.
please help we broke the small black clip or flap on m.board for small ribbon cable of touch screen is there any solution for that. our daughter is upset . does she have to say bye to her DS. can ny body help?????
@MrsNk69 no no the motherboard sould be fine all u need to do is desolder the small broken connector off and solder a new one on if u can i can fix it 4 u maybe hope that helped
@Georgybutler thanks for the reply im in UK after long search i managed to contact a site here in uk hopefully they can help me.. by the way ur videos are good and helpful
can someone please answer this!!? after doing all of this my top screen just displays black with a couple of colored lines going through it when it turn it on... WHAT SHOULD I DO and what have i done wrong!?
@salv95 well mate what u have dun is when u were unplugging the ribbin cable u must have ripped it a little so u need to replace the top screen but u need to hav a soldering iron the desolder the speakers there are videos on youtube on how to replace the top screen and u can buy one off ebay for about £10 or i can do it for u
Okay frustrating as it is to not have part 4 available to make sure we don't screw this up by now we have managed to get everything else in place and tested. I simply watched part 1 again and reversed the order. Too bad when instructions are uploaded that a user isn't finishing what he/she started for those that are mechanically or electronically challenged and actually need instructions from beginning to end. Thanks! The videos that were available were great though!
Look up this vid titled 'How to repair a Nintendo DS Lite NDSL Hinge 2' (on here)
This your best bet as a substitute pt 4; this is also from him. It's pt 2 of dsl hinge fixing video--w/ this you can at the very least complete the reassembling properly. Hopefully this helps anyone that's stuck.
Hmmm when i had that problem. i was lucky enough to lend my friends DS to try it with his screen module, so i knew i had to replace the entire touch screen module. but at this point its hard to tell whats wrong with your DS :( sorry
He can't show no. 4 its too fiddly to do... the L +R buttons fall out and if your not careful you snap the power button off when you put the top on... thanks for leaving me on my own with now a completely useless DSL
Thanks!!! Awesome, step by step video explaining how to fix my DS. There are tricky steps but with your guidance I did it!!! you are my wife's hero! Despite I couldn't find part 4 (actually you can go without it) 5 stars forthis one!
hi awesome tutorial, but after i finished my top screen only lite up with a black screen, the touch screen works fine, anyone know whats up with my top screen?
i have a problem, my right button doesnt work but i put a screw in it but the screw got loose like my screwdriver doesnt work on it anymore... plz help!!
You can watch the second half of his "How to repair a DS Lite NDSL Hinge 2" video. Just start from around 4:02 in the Hinge video. (Also a note, he uses a black DS in the other video, but it's works the same way.) Hope this helps.
Thank you so much. Your videos are video easy to follow and you explain everything in such a simple way. I was able to fix and mod my ds lite because of you. Thank you so much. ^^
U don't need a part 4, remember what you did in the start?
Just thread the black wire underneath the slot 1 slot and clip it down, clip down the white wire, then put your NEW bottom onto the back. Note that you also need your your L and r buttons in case you forgot.
Then put the screws back in place, replace the rubber feet, put the battery cover back in, presto your done!!!
PS. i accidentally bricked my motherboard while I was doing this ;.;
Thanks for the tutorial. Did I miss the part where the metal screw block for the battery case needs to be removed and replaced?
I got everything together and tried to screw the battery cover back on when I noticed it wouldn't screw down and close. I needed to open it up again to put it in.
I wish there was a part 4. I was doing this while watching the videos and after part 3 ended I tried to finish off my job BUT I managed to snap the tiny bit of plastic off my power switch. Arrrrrrrr!

Do you have any suggestions. I am talking about the screw in the start of this video. I can't screw the screws in all the way. I have no problem screwing in the old part but the new one will not go all the way in.
Thanks SMC for posting such a helpful tutorial. Actually its proly one of the best. I was able to finish the job in about 1 1/2 hour. Although the 4th part is lacking but you can work your way around it , its just mounting back the screws.

He suggested earlier on something about 'if your screen just flashed, you didn't connect the ribbon all the way"
Make sure when you connected your brown ribbon that it was pushed in ALL the way. You'll know it went in if there's no hole by the 'trapezoid' side.
