    Hacking Refurbished DS Lite from Hong Kong/China...

    Like someone above said, Nintendo probably send their broken DSs to a group in China where they replace the broken parts then sell them off as refurbished. You can't fake a motherboard, but everything else is "serviceable" with enough patience and finger finess... I'd say these are probably...

    Hacking Broken the end of the touch-module ribbon? No worries!

    Only problem with the top ribbon is that its size changes between the end and the body. The touch ribbon is consistently the same size so it's easily reinserted. I think if your top screen ribbon is stuffed you're in for a new top screen >

    Hacking NDSL fast battery drain after housing switch

    Hi there, I recently replaced the housing of a friend's NDSL and now their battery life seems to drain at an extremely fast rate. I've tried switching batteries with my own NDSL and there is no difference. I had this same problem the first time I replaced my machine's housing, and it seems to...
