I know you said it. It's a great excuse that works for nearly everything.joelozy said:BakuFunn said:Just call Nintendo and ask for repairs... You'll have to pay for it because you're not under warranty, but it's better than paying for a new DS. Say you dropped it, and everything's messed up. Pretend to be an idiot. that helps a lot.
You could always try to go the way of other professionals to remove the screw and finish replacing the case, but if you're lazy, just send it into Nintendo.
I was going to say that I dropped it in an earlier post. How much would it cost for Nintendo to replace it? And what other professionals could help (where do I find them?)
PS: Go pun somewhere else.
For reference, to replace a DS Phat's cracked and leaking top LCD screen out of warranty, it cost me 60 dollars. I'm guessing it's around the same rate, but might be cheaper or more expensive now (Mind you, this was before the DS Lite came out and the price dropped.)
For professionals, many thrift game stores offer repair services for a fraction of the price of Nintendo's (But you can't always verify the quality of the repair) and you could try going to some general hardware workshops that will help you remove a stripped screw. They usually don't give a damn what you're disassembling, and their rates are usually quite reasonable.
Try calling Nintendo first. It'll be a decent price and you'll be sure it's in perfect working condition.
