I wanted to know if its possible to replace the top screen ribbon instead of replacing the whole screen, because it seems wasteful to throw away a good top screen while the ribbon is the only thing broken.
My friend had a similar problem with his. He opened up the top screen of the DS and the ribbon cable came off from the socket. All he did was clean it up with a cotton swab and snapped it right back in. That said, not sure if the ribbon with your DS is just disconnected or if it's really broken.
If it truly is broken, then you could buy a replacement and they're not that expensive online. I'd link you to a retailer, but I question the legitimacy of the site.The ribbon has got a small hole like it was stabbed on the contacts, one part is normal but the left one is all gray, i'll try your tip.
You can always request returning your undamaged screen and keeping it as a spare part in case the new one breaks but the ribbon remains intact.Sigh, I found someone who would fix it for me for 20$ with a new top screen, i guess i gotta put it to repair...again.

Pretty sure there's actually a slot for it... but hey, I may be wrong - I never replaced mine.Yeah but if the ribbon is inside of the screen and can't be replaced what good is that spare part for then?
