The marks on the top screen are from dog teeth. The spacing puts the dog at about 7-9 kilos and 8-10 months. The dirt is from the dog chewing it outside, the dirt mixing with the saliva. It's possible the owner left it outside, let the dog outside for a time and it chewed it. Not that anyone cares.

@genericgreensquid6669 6 лет назад

Hey retro! Just wanted to say that your videos have really inspired me (and the gameboy subreddit) to go out there and repair Nintendo handhelds. However, I am extremely unlucky with DSs. I have bought 3 Lites so far (one from japan with a broken hinge, one with a broken top screen and hinge from the flea market, and another from the flea market with everything fine except the bottom screen). On the most recent one (the latter), I somehow damaged the top screen's ribbon cable and now its junk (bottom screen flashes and turns off). Next time I'm going to buy a Gameboy for repairs instead. Thankfully, I was able to learn a lot, and I didnt even waste that much money.

@genericgreensquid6669 6 лет назад

I hate to say it, but after having worked on them, I think DSs are kind of flimsy devices.

@TheRetroFuture 6 лет назад

Awesome man! Trial and error really, hope the next one goes better!

@SudoWoofie 5 лет назад

When the ds turns on for a split second I’m like: “ yay! “ Then I’m like: “ oh... wow... “ ( slow clap at ds )

WII RESTORATION VIDEO PLZZZ

@MrLezzident 6 лет назад

If the backlight is the only trace broken in the ribbon cable of the top screen that makes the console blink, you can repair it as the backlight has both connection as solder pads near the speaker pads. You could reconnect them with some thin magnet wire to the motherboard

@jamaicanpattys5557 4 года назад

I know this is an old video but I feel like you should make a book about how to repair all Nintendo handheld consoles with it starting at game and watch and ending at switch lite

@Gogeta007yBro 5 лет назад

Yeah, like the 3DS, when a ribbon cable isn't properly connected, or damaged, the console will just pop the blue light, and in case of the DSi, the screens will pop up white and then turn off.

@iamapie13 3 года назад

I still have my childhood DSi, the hinge doesn't lock anymore, the touch screen has dead zones and neither trigger works, I'm thinking of buying a working DSi of the same color and using its parts to repair my childhood one. I have all my Flipnotes, DSi ware photos and recordings from my childhood there and I think it deserves a restoration

@ast3rnomical 5 лет назад

oof i found my broken dsi xl thats been hidden away for at least five years and im tryna find a solution on how to turn it on ;-; the bottom screen turns on for a split second and quickly turns off again welp

@wsketchy 4 года назад

From what I can see in the rest of the comments it might not be recognising the top screen then

@flowerwithsunglasses2420 4 года назад

!!! We are on the same situation! My mom says to throw it away but i don’t want to! I have hope :(

@satyman08 5 лет назад

Maybe the white DSi works. The touch screen blinked and the DS popped and died. That means the ribbon cable for the top screen isn't well enough for every contact to be read.

@powerfulking500 4 года назад

Hey Retro, I have a question, so recently I wanted to fix my DSI, but the only problem I know is that when I turn on the DSI, it automatically turns off, do you know what the problem is and how I can replace? Thanks for taking your time!

@paulb4uk 6 лет назад

I started to dismantle a tidy white dsi it flicks off if turned on, so I have a new screen but quite a bit of work to fit it so it is still in a cupboard till I get round to fixing it.

@gks554 Год назад

What is commonly the issue if the Nintendo dsi bottom screen blinks but top screen stays black? 5:17 I'm asking because I have this issue and have had this problem for years but never got around to fixing it. I desperately want it fixed because I always wanted to save my memories from there onto an SD card Could you please make a video specifically on how to fixing that issue. I'd appreciate it so much!

@egebazl2169 4 года назад

Hı nice video. Which screwdriver did you use for dissasemble battery?

@breeseburger Месяц назад

I accidentally broke the first ribbon cable. 💀 Luckily it was a DS that was worthless as it doesn’t work with game carts or sd cards.

@Nate-gu7gj 3 года назад

I have a red dsi (on my pfp you can see it) but it doesn’t work, when you switch it on the bottom screen flashes then turns off. I have a white dsi that works though so that’s good.

@OutdatedRam 3 года назад

Me: chops off the white conductor off of the motherboard. Me now: what I do with these!.. the black one I have is the one with the poor connector cables flaps missing on left. My pink one supposedly had a flap missing. And don't know why power top right was missing. I was stressing the right side. Pink one was my owned.

I've had my matte blue dsi since I was 5 and now I'm 13 and I realized I did a very good job at keeping it clean and not broken the only problem is the l and r buttons but it's because it was dirty but I only have dropped it once

@Daniel-dl6fp 6 лет назад

The white D's won't turn on cause of a broken bottom screen the top one will allow it to turn on but bottom screen won't let it turn on

@MrMegaManFan 6 лет назад

As is my typical I'll pose a question that's likely to not be answered but beggars my curiosity anyway - why buy 2-4 non-working DSi systems just to only end up with one that does after swapping all the parts around? Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy one that does?
