YEAH THAT BLACK BAR!!!!!! Legit I don’t remember ever dropping it, but when I turned it on one morning that black bar just appeared over night I swear to god it did.
I turned it on this morning, everything fine except I had to plug it in. Closed the lid, plugged it in, opened it and black bar on top screen. Act of God 😂
I have a DS lite with a mostly white top screen, it still shows some detail but not enough to play DS games, could you repair mine possibly? I don't feel comfortable with messing with the little ribbon cables.
If you replace the screen you have to solder to remove the speakers from the old screen to the replacement screen unless you buy a replacement screen that already has speakers soldered on.
oh man my ds lite might have no hope of getting fixed, if I wanted to fix it I would need to replace the screen, the Shell, I need a new hinge, and a new microphone, as a kid when I broke it, I literally ripped the entire screen off except the black cable it held the screen together 😂, it'll be expensive but one day I will fix my ds lite
Yeah, great job using a screen that already has the speakers attached instead of what most of us would have: a screen without speakers. On top of that, the screen didn't even work. That bodes well when the job ended up not even being a success and then you jump cut to the screen replaced and working.
Worst tutorial I could’ve followed you didn’t say there was screws where there were screws, that you routed the white wire before screwing the board down and didn’t even complete half of the reassembly on camera thanks for the help 😒
@Corey Sandman That is a bad idea, pressing hard on the dead pixel may make it look like its going transparent, but in all actuality, it's making it way worse, you may notice more dead pixels appearing from time to time
i put my dslite back together and the bottom part is kind of bulging or something causing it to not close all the way when all the screws are in? does anyone know whats causing that?
If you are still looking for an answer, you might want to check that any wires are sitting flat on the motherboard. Additionally, It might not be closed all the way if your L and R buttons aren't 100% locked in.
I've taken apart many small electronics myself. Sometimes the design just requires a lot of parts to be removed to get this far. Any shortcut would be breaking something.
Nintendo DS LIte is a pain in the @ss to replace this screen, I suffer too much in my life with this kind of problem haha. I have a DS with a problem on the top screen but I will wait until a can't see nothing to swap, is so difficult.
Fucking hate the tape at the top. It came unsticking and now that the wires are lying somewhere else, the lid won't close. I'm so pissed off that I paid for a DS claiming to have a broken but then fixed top screen.
When I turn mine on, it crashes after a second. The lower screen works, but the upper one is black. I don't know if it works because it crashes after a second. Cables are properly connected. Could it be that it crashes because the upper screen is not connected properly? Thanks for your help!
Not the best video as your meant desolder and resolder the speakers which you completely skipped by clipping the plastics. You need a soldering iron to do a top screen replacement!
