haha, I've had Wiid on my DS before

Anyway I hope my lite doesn't crack, my bro's original DS got thrown out of a window at a bouncy castle and it bounced off and hit the floor and is still in mint condition

the same thing happened to me, i just pick up my ds and it cracks, its at the same place as the tc maybe the left hinge is weaker?

I have the start of a crack in the exact same place, theres a gap in the centre and the two edges bu the havent connected yet... I've been most protective of my Dslite, no bashes drops or any rough behavour...I have no clue how that happened...

If it's happening to quite a few people at the exact same spot with little to no physical damage done to it, perhaps their is a slight fault in its creation...or maybe I'm just unlucky D:

ok including the O.P that makes four people who claim a crack at this location on thier DSLite, or the beginnings of one.

someone should make a post at forums.nintendo.com and start up a big stink.

 

[kittyy]

mine is cracked as well.....

same spot....

i was not abusive to it so i guess it is a design flaw. i am debating the use of crazy glue. i think if i get it replaced that it will just happen again to the exchanged unit.

oh well...

I have emailed Nintendo about this problem and I urge you all to do so as well.

Ok, I made a thread in the forums.nintendo.com, and see if others will reply with same issue.

There is another member on that forum that has the SAME crack.

Here is the link so everyone can follow it.

I already exchanged mine at NESA in scarbourough (ontario, canada) on the spot because of a dead pixel and THAT EXACT SAME CRACK!!!

I thought I was the only one ....

 

[Jinny]

My old one had cracks too, until I "exchanged" it.

Just checked my new Lite and it has no cracks.

(at least not yet

)

My theory, I hope you understand the picture...

I don't have a crack on mine yet but I'm hoping I won't have one in the future.

 

[Kezz]

Now that's funny. I just checked my DS lite....and I got the same weird "gap" there! Not that I would bother, but well, add me to that list of yours

 

[cornaljoe]

Holy ****, this sucks I have to the same crack and I didn't even know until I read this message!!! This sucks will nintendo replace it if it ever gets worst. Right now its just an unnoticable crack. But my nephews DSPhat hinge broke all the way off but nintendo won't fix it for free. Said I have to pay $50.00

 

[UnknownBeast]

This is getting serious, I think this is a design problem on the DS Lite.

I think the plastic on the hinge is too thin, and it is getting chipped of from the clicking mechanism that was supposed to hold the DS Lite open. Check the picture I posted before.

 

[IxthusTiger]

Aw F#@$ I have it too

Never noticed it!!

How in the hell?

 

[MDoggie]

Have a dead pixel on mine and the same crack as well.

Problem is, even if we "win", and Nintendo allows us to send it off to be fixed...many of us here have used flashme on it already. For some reason, none of the flashme_stealth versions worked, so, I used regular old flashme v7. Anyone think Nintendo won't provide us service?

Does this crack's appearance depend on how far you flip your top screen back?

I barely flip mine open 120 degrees, but I notice when you flip the screen to almost 180 you hit a bit of resistance and then hear a little pop sound. Doesn't feel right to me, so I never push it that far.

 

[xflash]

meh mine seems fine or atleast i can't find any cracks but then again i have a navel blue lite and not a white one

 

[fatfree]

I found that the locking mechanism (the clicks you hear) is ONLY on the right side!

I looked at a disassembled DS Lite pictures, and notice it only on the right side, and you can verify this because if you put your ear to it, you can hear it click only on that side.

BTW, more people on the other forum has found cracks too.
