My niece dropped her ds lite and the touch screen now has all lines. Looking for recommendations on where to buy a good replacement touch screen, and also looking for some good guides on opening the ds and replacing it.

I've seen loads of touch screens on ebay, but not sure of the quality. I have also found a few guides on opening the lite and replacing the screens but the pictures in the guide were horrible.

Thanks

I had this problem after the I disassembled my DS.

The ribbon cable to the bottom screen has fallen out, it's an easy repair job if you have the tools to take a DS apart.

I can get the tools no problem. It's a good touch screen that I need at a good price. And a good guide for the process.

I've seen some screens on dealextreme but some reviews were that it's not as sensitive as the original. Also see loads on ebay.

Just looking for help from those who've done this before.

The screen is not broken, the ribbon cable that sends the image to the screen has fallen out. You just need to open the DS Lite and slot it back in.

    Good for the people that aren't guilty of much, or anything, who may really need it. But being able to pay £5 million to get your ass out of jail for proven assault is shitty.

    @Sicklyboy, know any IEMs with type c?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, not directly. Mostly use bluetooth earbuds nowadays but when I do/did use IEMs I ran them through a USB C / Bluetooth DAC (FiiO BTR5, but there are newer and/or cheaper models available too)
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I just kinda miss old earbuds just dont know any with type c that have that decent bass
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Consider one of the cheaper USB C to 3.5mm adapters, too. It is technically a DAC as well but less featured, less powerful, and less configurable than something like the FiiO but WAY cheaper and slimmer. https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Adapter-JSAUX-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH That'll get you a lot closer to plain ol plug-in headphones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That paired with any normal IEMs. KZ ZSN Pro are the cheapies that I actually really liked lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
