    Gaming I found a NDS in the street! but... fucked.

    My favourite tool to fix the game slot is a simple nail file, slide it in and give the pins a little rub and it'll work as good as new. (not for DSi models though that they have a springy bit of metal built into the slot)

    Heres my bottom lcd plugged in to the top lcd socket, you can see how the dark edge of the wire is flush with the end of the white socket and in a straight line across the flap, My bottom lcd connector My bottom lcd plugged in Check the flap on the lcd connector is straight like the...

    The problem with the bottom photo (of the bottom lcd in the top lcd socket) - is the wire isn't connected in far enough, it's got to pretty much touch the white connector before you close the flap, Your bottom lcd connector pins look fine and in good condition

    I've got 3 motherboards here and when i attach 2 bottom screens (one in the top screen slot) i can get them to power up, so it's very odd that you can't get them to light up even when plugged in to the top connector, If you get round to trying it again, take a photo of how you have the bottom...

    Stop pulling the poor blokes leg about his fuses :rofl2: he'll end up prodding them with his multi meter and breaking them. There is no chance that the fuses would effect the screen from turning on. It would be totally dead, or work fine but not charge. Could be a problem with the connector...

    Gaming Dsi help please

    Hey, Does it go off when you open and close the screen? If you open and close the screen slowly does the picture distort? If yes - it's the ribbon cable on the top screen. If the power goes off when you move the whole thing, or tap it, - there is a common issue on the DSi XL where the...

    Did you definitely plug it in to the left of the socket like in the photo i uploaded? Notice the cable on the bottom screen isn't as wide as the top screen socket.... If you can't get any of your bottom screens to flash when plugged in to the top socket like that, then the problem is 100%...

    Hardware good way to remove the stripped screw on 3ds?

    If you have some different size flat head screw drivers, you may find you can get one in on angle and turn the screw

    i've got an idea i think auto Here i'm running a DS Lite using 2 bottom screens, no top screens, although the top screen ribbon cable is a little wider due to the speakers, the bottom screen can still be plugged in auto Make sure that you put the ribbon cable to the left side of...

    On the thread you posted a couple of pictures of a mark on the motherboard, Looking at that - it looks like it's had liquid spilt on it at some point, the problem is with liquid damage sometimes things start to have a mind of their own and will work sometimes but not others, so it could...

    Hey, the DS Lite code of faults is. Bottom screen flashes on then off = top screen fault. Top screen flashes on then off = bottom screen fault. Sometimes when you order new parts - a defective one could arrive, so if you still have the old bottom screen - try it on it. Or check the ribbon is...
