Well, I think I damaged the ribbon connector while swapping cases on my DS Lite. It powers up briefly, the lower LCD flashes a second then it stops. Meanwhile, the green power LED kicks on, gets a little brighter, then shuts off.
I tore it down a second time, got it to boot fully once out of several tries, and now it won't boot again, so I'm guessing I shorted the upper-half ribbon connector per the description here: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=98240 -- also the teardown I followed.
If so, is this what I need to buy: http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/zz-dsl-lcdtop
Also, I don't see the speaker connection there, do I have to solder or did they just crop it out? If someone can recommend a cheaper US retailer (or heck, CA if it's much cheaper) I'd really appreciate it. Am I just better off buying a dead DSLite on ebay?
Thanks!
