You know what would really make this guide even better? A VIDEO TUTORIAL VERSION!!
And approximately how long did it take you (the make of the guide) to dissemble and then reassemble the entire thing? 2 hours? 4 hours? 6?
Also, is there such a thing as a #00 Philips (+) Screwdriver?there are plenty of videos on youtube already (which is why I've never bothered to take the time to make one. it normally takes me about an hour to perform a complete swap (but then again, I'm pretty ADD about it and in no hurry. there is a link in the guide for the 00 philips (+) screwdriver near the bottom of the guide. that's the one that I use.

I used this guide to help me replace my DS game slot-1
i got it all together and what-not but my touchscreen wasn't working, then now it doesn't even stay on. When i turn it on it has the green light for about 5-10 secs and then shuts down. So im stuck with a "non-responsive" touchscreen and it wont stay on.
Is there anyway to fix those problems?
P.S. GREAT GUIDE!usually, if the system powers ups and then shuts down, it's due to the connector for the top display not being inserted correctly, however I've not heard of ones that stay lit for over a second of two before shutting down. as far as your touch screen goes, did you change the frame around it? if so, it's possible that you separated the touchscreen layers and inadvertantly ruined it. otherwise, I would check to make sure that you plugged in the flexible cable for it correctly.

Thanks for the guide.
What a learning experience my first time has been... trying to fix a broken hinge (which I did), and now upon reassembly I have ended up with a stripped screw in the PCB, an upper screen that isn't working, and a touch screen that isn't working =(. The stripped screw makes it very hard (nigh impossible) to troubleshoot.
Guess I may just have to get that DSi... I'll miss my GBA games =(
