Let's Refurb! - Original 2004 Nintendo DS! 

It would probably still be charged

Mine did , and had charge

i've used my pink ds lite since i was like 7 years old. i'm 16 now.

Keira Jade NO JOKE ME TOO. I WAS LITERALLY JUST PLAYING MARIO KART

Kids bro kids. Took less than a day for my younger bro to rage quit and wreck his DS in half.

Birthday + 4:20

Nice timing

Nice

@Mayuri Sama yeah, did anyone ever had a DS on here or what?

@Mayuri Sama Did you had the birthday date correct? Or even the date correct?

Mayuri Sama . Then you set up the date incorrectly. Thing happen for a reason, it doesnt do it randomly.

Hey peasants, go play some real games.

Solid advice

Cesar Melendrez right? Is just logic, if I was a modder I would do that, save the good working parts for me and sell the junk to others, but hey even that junk may work as parts.

How to fix a button not responding

Legit

@Jail Breaker How are they a hater?

I hope the 3DS isn't as bad as the DS with the hinges. I would hate for my 5 year old 3DS XL to have its hinges break.

yeah all my old ones had the hinges come off in the exact same place

Actually, the 3DS is worse, switching the upper screen or fixing a broken hinge on it is maybe one of the worst things to do. Fixing a broken hinge on an old NDS or GBA SP is way easier, because you can actually take the upper part apart, on the 3DS you have to cram the ribbon cables through the right hinge and hope they don't break while doing so. There are tons of broken 3DS (first gen, XL, N3DS) with broken hinges or just broken ribbon cables. If you find one on ebay that "doesn't turn on anymore" or "just gives out a klicking sound" it means the ribbon cable is broken 99% of the time. That said, I have an old NDS around here that maybe needs a new top part of the upper shell, because that one is really scratched (the silver paint has actually been rubbed off of it in some parts), but the hinges are fine. It used to have a dead pixel on the touch screen (which isn't scratched at all), but that seems to have fixed itself. I got it a few years back from an easter egg hunt done by some reseller on his website.

@@VeeTHis ive had my normal 3ds since 2010 and its not broken yet even with very frequent use.

Thanks!

Yes, always cool when people can fix things most people just trash.

I pretty much have lol

Jon Raymond ...I’m On day 3 of binge watching 😂😂😂 thanks elliot

@@TheRetroFuture same these r great

PixCub - The shell by the hinges breaks quite easily actually.

I think you robbed a trash can.

They're literally tanks? Really? I don't remember my DS firing explosives.

@@iscrewy sarcasm at its finest hahahahah

OKAY ( Runs Over With Tank ) Did It Survive?! ( DS Breaks ) ARE YOU-

Yeah, and the fact that he'd scavenged the batteries. I sold a Nikon 5400 that I broke while deployed for the Gulf War. When I Got back, I sold it on eBay. It went for about three times what I expected to sell it for. I contacted the buyer to make sure he knew it was broken. He said yes and left me positive feedback.

He got 5 faulty consoles, exactly as advertised.

Tbf sometimes when you buy a single item like a PSP out of a draw. I've brought 3 untested ones like that. And all 3 worked.. untested no charger etc. But when I seen 5 i was like hmmm lol

@@RyeOnHam thank you for your service! 👍

It's not really that old.

yeah compared to the game boys its obviously not that old but still the original ds is 14 years old for a console that's still pretty old

The fact that it's old, but still feels so fresh.

Still my favorite way to play GBA titles!

@@oreorezlive2275 16 years is a lot, especially when they seem like such a recent thing

Oh Christ, i'm so sorry for your loss):

Big F

No one can make a more durable system than the ds Nintendo knows how to make things last

@Patrick Daileg ah that's a problem I forgot about, 😅 their prone to break hinges because they are too stiff sadly and they are a pain to reshell

@Patrick Daileg that sucks :(

My ds lite is amazing! I still use it all the time

All but NOT l and r

🤣 The crippled one always works

Because even though the DS can break, Nintendo built it to last a lifetime

Only if it's board is revision C/NTR-CPU-20. It is much more common to find in japanese models.

You have to flash a v5 ds with flashme v7 and it gives it 4 brightness levels. ds lite is v5 also so when you flash a normal ds v5 with flashme it thinks its a ds lite.

Here goes. The DS has had a few different versions of firmware in it, this can be checked with the pictochat test. People that have v5 firmware in their DS (note not V5 flashme, v5 firmware) may have had a chip in it that was used in the lite. This chip being there means you can install a version of flashme and gain the variable brightness levels on a normal DS. Onto the flashme part. V7 flashme breakdown. First there was V7 original, this was not able to take advantage of the variable light levels of the DSlite. A beta release was err released which enabled this variable light levels to work on the lite. Lastly the beta version and the original version were bundled together with some detection code to get the current version of flashme, confusingly for some this was also called version 7. In conclusion: You will need to have a DS that has V5 firmware, no DS with a lower firmware version has the chip required. I do not know if all DS' with v5 firmware had this chip but it seems likely. You will need the very latest version of flashme (you can force the beta but I do not advise it) and when you try and run it the chip, if you have it, will be detected and the version that allows variable light levels will be installed. You now will have variable light levels.

I have all 3 board revisions and based on my testing, cpu-20 is the only one that works every single time.

You can use Alite.nds to test whether your DS Phat has brightness control.

how?

βεππγ ιεμηδ At the main menu click the ds icon to go settings and click the yellow icon to re calibrate the touch screen

@@connor211 thx a lot

@@connor211 doesnt work if the touchscreen is damaged tho

Connor Daniels yes, but the touch screen was damaged.

Yeah. He must've meant 2005. Mario Kart DS wasn't released till then.

the copyright year on the label says 2004 so it's an easy mistake to make

I also had a gray one. Still do actually and it works, just in a box somewhere.

No worries bro!

B-but how?!

Now it's a game boy advance

Young Packs no a game boy macro (when a ds hinge brakes and turns into a cheap gba and its custom)

I was thinking bout that, my mariokart DS said Nintendo ©2005 lol

Oof

Game stop should have them

Same.

Torian McNeill vintage stock has them too I saw a white one at vintage stock that had a spider man sticker on it and came with 3 free games and the original charger

Hahaha! That is name of my new series!

Lol

Cliffymetal598 oof if it was cheap then 👏 👏 👏 great deal! But..... why don’t people just charge them if they don’t turn on ugh 😑 but great deal if it was cheap!

CalizpzZ0 exposed?

@@solstice_day4920 He obviously just remembered it wrong

Glitchy Demon Fairy take my DS lite I have a3ds

he should do them with a warning before the video

Cool, thanks!

The Retro Future No Problem! I did it to a DS lite and it was a pretty fun project and they make Great Gameboys!

Works the best with DS lites

It was about £20!

arent there some models of the phat with screens similar to the lite? I have a broken one my uncle gave me (top screen discolored, broken hinge) and the screens are nice and bright, and look just like the lite screens.

GBR6000 he did, but the screen is damaged.

r/thathappened

Cool! Wait a second..... That sounds familiar Edit: It sounded familiar but I don't know why

Some people are thinking that about the Switch with the rumors of a hardware revision

@@soridosuneku There's already a switch that comes in a different box that has a better chip and comes with colored joicons

Took a bit but; soundcloud.com/dominusbeatsofficial/pret

Although the screens are probably more valuable than the main board so I would hope they work and the mainboard doesn't.

Absolutely no
