Great video !! Help 100%

[@FireflyWasHere]

I have a question, I was wondering if you know what could be causing rainbow lines on both my DS lite screens? It was dropped awhile ago and I’m wondering if it is fixable

[@wakefulcvt23]

just got everything in i thought i needed finally, got to the removing speakers part... did not know i need to solder 😕

[@DerZven]

Amazing video! 🙏🏻🤝🏻

[@TheFixTech]

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this repair. I have links in the description for items I used in this video.

[@adamreyes7730]

I have a torn top screen cable will I need to purchase a new top screen altogether or can I just buy the cable? Top screen itself is good and not cracked.

[@codingjhames]

@@adamreyes7730 you have to buy a brand new top screen

[@richardericlope3341]

I had two broken DSL a few years back and I fixed one but converted the other one to a GBA Macro since the top screen replacement costs as much as a used DS. I seem to remember there was this little ribbon cable near the Wifi module(for the digitizer?). I don't see your DSL having one(or I just missed it?). NVM. Saw it. Lol

[@fredthesmilingpineapple9856]

My nintendo dsi has the same problem in the bottom one could I pay you to replace it?

[@lmaothesetagsarestupid]

The bottom screen ain't working?

[@erickrivas7034]

Wait soldering is required for this? Is there another to attach the wires to the ribbon or no?

[@Ale_Alessandro37754]

Mine has a broken screen on top too! And the battery won't connect to the Nintendo

[@marklupinc1241]

Thank you very usefull❤

[@TheFixTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vins2393]

I've never used a soldering iron. Is there anything specific to know before trying this operation?

[@marisolfloresmarinelarena2809]

My DS Lite is broken and also I need a brand new upper screen and a brand new shell

[@indy5280]

Unfortunately I got the black wire stuck under the cartridge slot and can’t get it out

[@Marko00345]

Will ds work if u replace screen from other ds and dont add new speakers

[@TheFixTech]

Yes, no sound though.

[@GoreFqn]

Can you help me??

[@ShaneJones-hh1nw]

helpful thx!!

[@marcokappaa]

Hi, I have a problem...I was disassembling a nds lite for hydro dipping it, but when I was disassembling the top screen i kind of "cut" the ribbon cable...do you have any links for the replacement? I searched even on aliexpress, but I can't find them for less than €20..

[@brodilla]

Any luck with your findings? Just cut the ribbon on the tail end of a shell replacement and was looking for a proper replacement

[@marcokappaa]

@@brodilla the only solution is buying another ds lite and using it for parts

Thank you sr🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@shuccle6161]

wow! this was uploaded recently. do you offer repair services by chance buddy?

[@levi7148]

Hi if white spots appear is it a problem in lcd or in the lense?

[@TheFixTech]

That’s usually the lcd, the backlight itself can be replaced but that’s more extensive

[@mountain4647]

what soldering temp? 😅

[@TheFixTech]

About 500f

[@prodbyser1on]

hello, i have completed this repair, however when i turn the ds on the top screen is black, the bottom screen now works like the ds is brand new whereas with the previous screen, it simply turned on, bottom screen flashed and the system shut off. any advice on a fix? thanks

[@Lichohedge]

try reseating the top screen ribbon cable, if it’s still black then you might’ve damaged the ribbon. i had that happen to me with a 3ds xl screen replacement and had to get another screen

[@ZFighter14]

I can NOT get the top cover back on. Is there any trick to it or anything??

[@TheFixTech]

The cover slides into place, makes sure the rubber stoppers are removed/out of the way, and check the plastic shell for any damage/bent slots.

[@ZFighter14]

@@TheFixTech so it JUST slides in, or are you supposed to snap it in first & then slide??

[@ernky5635]

Hi, my DS lite's screen works fine but both the top and bottom lenses have gone bad. is it possible to replace the lenses without removing the case? if no, i know how to replace the top screen thanks to your video, but for the bottom screen, are the steps similar? Thank you
