Nintendo DSi Top Screen Replacement | Nintendo Restoration

[@seraph4581]

This is a nightmare to work on. Probably one of the most complicated repairs I've seen. Appreciate the help.

[@IkanaNot22]

I think 3ds is the actual restoration horror😢

[@joshcollins1383]

The way you pulled out the hinge so easily...this is my first DSi repair and it's sort of a nightmare in comparison to the DS lite imo

[@TheFixTech]

The dsi is the hardest console to work on in my experience

[@zuppaox]

was halfway through when i found a tear in the new screens ribbon cable- as soon as the other new one comes in ill deff come back to this vid!!

[@RoseBaby]

I love this model. I think it’s the best looking portable Nintendo system.

[@FrankCastIe]

yeah im thinking same thing , it feels very premium when you hold it and have very own style

[@FrankCastIe]

actually you make it very simple and unquestionable,im just follow your steps and it works thnx nice video

[@pessensei6283]

Did it work?

[@FrankCastIe]

@@pessensei6283 yeah like a charm :)

[@electronix259]

Man you’re a legend, I recently got into collecting and slightly refurbishing the DS family of consoles and you have a video for everything I need

[@kadenbrewer310]

Wonderful tutorial, Mate! I did everything according to the video, and everything came out as result! The only encounter that I had different was whenever removing the padded squares on the top shell housing. The screws were hidden behind a shiny reflective tape, however, this doesn't apply to everybody's console. A++ to this man's demonstration!

[@dankuradraws4905]

shell swapping the dsi only showed up here because i took the 4 nubs off and didnt see screws so far everythings been done properly..thankyou bro!

[@thefishinggamekeeper5713]

Thanks a lot. I really needed this. Didn't know how to properly take apart my dsu case the first time and broke the top part. Now I know what to do when I do that again. Thanks

[@handheldhavoc6635]

I tried fixing my DSi a few years back and broke some of the ribbons trying to put it back together... I've had more experience since then so I am gonna try to now fix my 2ds xl 👍

[@Idontwishtoexist]

Man you made it look effortlessly easy thanks for this

[@KaJaReviews]

This is so nice. I hope you do a housing replacement tutorial for the old regular Nintendo 3DS too. I'm gonna try your recent tutorial for the DS Lite. But I also want to give a fresh look to my 3DS. Hope you keep doing these videos! ☺️

[@TheFixTech]

Yes, I will be adding that video shortly

[@TheFixTech]

This is a straight forward repair, let me know if you have any questions regarding this repair.

[@RoseBaby]

It really is straight forward. I love that! Great quality image too.

[@JaysonsVideoGameSecrets]

Does this work with DSi XL as well, or is that model a little bit different?

[@Eeevonn]

does this also work with the DSi XL

[@rishiththakur4372]

Where can I get the new screen

[@rishiththakur4372]

And I also have problem with the camera, it doesn't work pls help

[@garaget81]

Thanks. Fixed the DSi following this video

[@awartskibenor]

I was contemplating doing this myself....i think ill just buy another unit and keep this as a backup! A new appreciation for the engineering and design team though!

[@victormachuca6621]

Make it look so easy! It’s really hard; you’re a master at ur craft!

[@cconelli]

gran trabajo, seguí paso a paso el video y es realmente complicada la reparación pero después de todo mi Nintendo Dsi volvió a funcionar

[@danielfc]

OMG this made me so mad yesterday that not only I damaged the new screen cable, but also the cameras. Now another 2 weeks for the replacements to arrive and try again. The twisting part is terrible. But thanks for the video, it'll surely come in hand

[@sug4rk4ne59]

I took mine apart and followed all your steps and I made sure everything is connected right and the power button turns blue for about 3 seconds and then it powers off.

[@TheSimonHxC]

Thanks for the video! Great help to follow with my restoration today!

[@absonon]

Noticed the speaker wires are reversed when you soldered to new lcd, see 6:38 vs 7:38. Will the speaker still work?

[@paoloh885]

This is definitely in my top 5 most frustrating things that I've ever done. Holy shit that ribbon cable is a nightmare.

[@BigCheeZeMan]

On second thought.... I'm good

[@Nintendo-n34t]

Awesome repair!

[@TheFixTech]

Thanks!

[@LoganLayneOffical]

I was going to buy one with a broken screen but I wanted to see how easy it is to fix I heard soldering and I just went nope I tried to fix a 1st gen Xbox and I had VERY bad luck to say the least

[@keeby4]

Yeah I think I’m just gonna deal with the screen with changing colors Edit: I ended up doing it. I scuffed up the case towards the top and had to buy a new board after accidentally breaking it but it works now.

[@giuliac4344]

i tried to follow it, but my dsi has nothing below those rubber screw covers on the top screen, just smooth metal..

[@TheFixTech]

Pry up the metal, it is metal covered rubber caps

[@davidallancoe01]

Remember having one of those as a kid lol,any updates on the Bronco?

[@TheFixTech]

O yeah, my next video will be about the speedometer (bouncing needle fix) and simultaneously fixing cruise not working. Or a complete distributor tear down and fixing a startup issue.

[@TheFixTech]

Also for the front brakes I will be doing a video showing the removal of the rotors and converting to Warn manual hubs.

[@KennethPlaysOfficial]

Those rubber caps suck. I tried taking one of them off, and it got ripped in half. I literally cannot open it now.

[@nevertrustCHEEZ]

great video, helped me a lot

[@radcalrc]

Thank you

[@fabiomachado5797]

Just changed the bottom LCD screen of mine, and then assembly everything back again, the nintendo was doing a flickering when powering, re open it again and put back again the LCD screen cable and then now the nintendo wont even turn on and while charging the orange lights blinks

[@botchedoperations3485]

I’m going yolo and installing it without speakers then. Got a broken one on purpose as a project…soldering is not a skill set I have. Start with the top and eliminating the broken screen and then work through the bottom. I fix a laptop screen and it wasn’t this difficult. This is ridiculous

[@fangdelust1675]

whats the cable in min 2:00? becouse it completely detached(broke?) when I tried to unplug it, now I have to solder it, and its really micro

[@fangdelust1675]

welll I managed to solder it, but, i think between tries i did something wrong, the dsi turned on, but i disconeccted the batery with the battery off, I think a fuse blown out, now it doesn't turn on with battery, but flash the orange light once when connected to power supply. HELP

[@mysticmistake8286]

@@fangdelust1675 I got the exact same issue and I didn't even apply any force trying to unplug it. It just ripped right off immediatly.

[@ChronoTriggerMTY]

thanks!

[@Nanyael]

Thanks for the video, bro. 🙏

[@fliguy84]

I hope you can make a video for DSi XL soon.

[@TheFixTech]

I will soon.

[@fredthesmilingpineapple9856]

I have the exact same ds but the broken part is on the bottom can that be fixed as well?

[@TheFixTech]

The lower screen? Yes, that is an easier task

[@krimsin.]

is taking apart the bottom required too for this repair?

[@Mat-jv1fx]

How do you coil the LCD cable.... ive tore the connector trying to slide it in.....

[@maggiemagnolia1872]

Hello, is there any way I can send you my dsi xl to repair. The top screen is cracked.

[@cuhross]

I only made it to 2:01 before I destroyed it.

[@alexpiatt1282]

The casing for the connector at 2:00 came out as well when I removed the connector. Any way to easily reattach that?

[@RomanianGuyGaming]

Sick! Can you make one on how to fix the mic? Thanks.

[@elizabethscott3641]

I've copied the video my bottom screen was working and since I've replaced the top it's just blank white how can i fix this please x

[@eddycolindres3227]

Con que habia que hacer eso para conectar y desconectar la pantalla 😅 y yo complicandome poniendole cosas para poder hacer ese movimiento, sin duda que es un proceso demasiado delicado, queria saber del microfono ya que no me funcionaba y parece ser que es el cable rosa, lo que lo hace no tan dificil de reparar la verdad

[@kimwar3992]

would the process be the same for dsi xl?

[@TheFixTech]

The process is similar, yes

[@mariocruz6599]

By any chance do you know if both bottom and top screen should have the same brightness

[@efraincami1609]

My DSI somehow got some dirt inside de front screen. Do I need to disasemble the lower part too to clean it or simply open the top part?

[@kylewalter6714]

Now that I put it all back together it won’t turn on :(

[@michaellvoltare]

2:47 Hey man, why do we need to open the console here?

[@PoylowMusic]

Hello! I have a Nintendo DSi that charges (orange led) but it doesn't turn on. Do you have any idea where this might come from? I have so many memories in this DSi 😅 Thank you!

[@TheFixTech]

A no power issue could be simpler a bad battery, or could involve a bad power board. I recommend buying a working dsi for parts

[@giadinhthovacarotomy]

Nice video. I have quick question , does dsi have ips screen ? Thanks

[@TheFixTech]

I am not sure.

[@giadinhthovacarotomy]

@@TheFixTech just checked, no dsi don't. Just dsi xl. Thanks

[@randomotaku5022]

Would a DSi xl look the same? (When it comes to the inner parts

[@coffeechimp3816]

What temperature do you use for the soldering gun?

[@espartacoramirez3801]

the madman knows

[@Nintendo-n34t]

iPod Touch (4th Generation) Blue

[@alpha206]

Ok I think Imma just be fine with my pixel error I think I would destroy the whole Dsi 😂😂

[@InfamousTaters]

fuck i dont even own a solder. brb.

[@sudoo6987]

My top screen doesnt have screws lmao

[@amy-joe5772]

I guess the top screen is fubred

[@Nintendo-n34t]

I love this model. I think it’s the best looking portable Nintendo system.

[@Nintendo-n34t]

Thanks. Fixed the DSi following this video

[@handheldhavoc6635]

Awesome repair!
