That's a fair take considering the spread you have there. There are times where the amount of third party replacement parts needed becomes pricier than buying another used/oem ds lite.
True, sometimes the parts outweigh the value of the device. Working these can run from 50-70 depending on condition. If they are non functional they run for around 10-20. Sometimes a screen is more or around the price of a non functional console. The hinge is the biggest weak point considering there is just one hinge mechanism and it sits in the right corner. If that breaks you need to swap the entire shell and aftermarket just isn't the same. Nonetheless, the DS Lite is a great handheld.
It’s a modification that people do, it’s actually called the game boy macro. People buy ds lites and original ds’ with a broken top screen and chop it off to use the bottom half like a gba
From my understanding it's called macro since it's a bigger Gameboy micro. Tried to title it where it can be found via search. I did add USB C to them instead of the speical Nintendo charger. But I did that to the normal ds lites I repaired as well. Just trying to save old tech from the trash and make something work from the scraps. I turn them into Gameboys if they have busted top screens or too much damage to repair. They are really portable and comfortable to hold. Slightly better than a dsi in comfort.
I have seen something like it once before. I would have to see them both apart at the same time to see how easy it can be done. Pretty sure the screen connections are different though.
Dang, might just be the screen, can you take a flash light and press it against the screen. If you can see anything that looks not normal then the screen itself was broken. Usually looks like liquid or something dark. I might have showed how to test screens in this video.
@@Johntriger I saw that trick you did! Very clever. I thought it may been the screen. But when I plugged the same screen into a different board, it worked. I’d be down to share a photo of what the broken board looks like
