So i had an old DS Phat (the first models) with a broken top screen, so i first did a GB Macro mod and it worked great, but then i read online that the top and bottom screen are exactly the same in hardware, so i compared both screen and they look exactly the same visually and have the exact same connectors, so i tried to put the working bottom screen on the top screen connector (by using the NTR-SUB-01 board just like the original hardware configuration) and i also added a 330 Ω resistor between the pins LEDA1 and LEDC1 on the motherboard to "simulate" the bottom screen presence, but it doesn't work (crashes at boot, meaning an hardware failure like a missing screen)

Do you have any ideas? Is that even possible to swap the screens (it should be since it's the exact same hardware piece) ?
