Hacking OK, so my uncle destroys my NDSL...

[.TakaM]

first things first, you need to kick your uncle in the balls

 

[thegame07]

yeah do that first and then smash his tv when hes down incase he over powers you .

 

[jtroye32]

destroy your uncle. it's a fair compromise. even if he doesn't agree, he has to sleep sometime..

 

[Zaraf]

Or maybe you could accept the fact that he lets you live with him, and he's supporting you, and taking care of you, so you should be grateful for that. Sure, what your uncle did was inappropriate. If I were him, maybe I would have also thrown your stuff in a corner, but I would have made sure whatever I was putting in the corner would not be damaged, and would not be something expensive like a DS. But bad things happen, and maybe he was so upset that he didn't think straight at the time.

In any case, I would say that you forgive your uncle, since that is the most noble thing to do. It's very difficult to fogive a person who has wronged you, especially when they damage your possessions in the process.

Wth?!?! How come NDSL costs $189.99 - $249.99?!? What happened to $129.99?

 

[chalupa]

as apposed to "buying" a new DS lite you could call Nintendo customer service and have them send you a brand spankin new DS lite for $50 the customer service is very good and takes about 6 days to get there. the phone number should be at the back of the DS.


I don't understand why Nintendo would sell you another DS so cheap. It's not like the warranty holds as it wasn't faulty from manufacture. Or is Nintendo America just better than Nintendo Australia?

well they only charge $50 because they take your old ds and they use it for parts to build new ds. since all ds lite warrentys are still active its only $50 but if its not active, it would cost $70. If it was a manufacturing defect Nintendo would fix it for free but since it's someone other than nintendos fault, they charge you

Also the ds is new but it was once someone ealses broken ds. i dont know what regin your from so sorry i cant give you more specific info.

I agree the best thing to do would be to call nintendo and arrange for a repair or replacement and get on with life. You can't change who your uncle is but you can keep your dignity in tact. I'd wait until another time in life when your uncle needs you to get your retribution. It will happen. What comes around goes around.

 

[Sinkhead]

I still think it would be funny to stab your uncle in the eye with a stylus...

just by a replacement screen.

 

[tolax]

One of my kids broke their DS screen and I got it replaced by someone on ebay for about $45 or something. Only took about 7 days as well.

Do a search. Always a risk of course sending your DS to a stranger so check their feedback

Throw your uncle into the corner and blotch him. That outta do it.

Well, it sounds like your stuck in the how can I exchange or figger out a way to get a new DSL. Your best bet is to call nintendo customer service. I thought I share my story of how my DSL did not calibrate and had to send it back. Call nintendo and complain to them about the problem you have if worse comes to worse tell them the situation. If they do realize that the damage was intentional then there will be a charge to replace it, and it does not nearly cost as much as a new DSL. Anyways when they sent me my replacement they sent it 2 day air UPS called tuesday night and got it on friday... When I had to send it back the ups label was ready and everything so the shipping charge was done at nintendo. Nintendo have a really good policy about replacing DSL units. The guy i spoke to nintendo will even suggest to bring it to a repair center near you. The closest one to me was like 200 miles away so I chose the shipping option. DONT BE SHY, and call nintendo they will help you. Most people are right Nintendo consoles are so hard to find if you do not want a GBA. Even email them, they will only take money order check or credit card as payment. Have one handy when you call.

i guess u still need make sure your uncle wont throw your second dsl away even if u manage to find one these days.

KICKS HIS ASS SEABASS!!!

 

[corbs132]

I thought this thread died weeks ago? Anywyas, enough of the "kick his ass" etc. responses, they are not helpful. i suggest showing him this thread, and say "all of these things..." unless he goes half on the replacement.

 

[Sonic782]

I'd kiss his ass, but I live with him. He's a very domineering person and the whole family hates him, but I'm 13 and therefore can't do anything. Oh yeah and he also claims he didn't break. Although he just threw it in the corner, hmm...I wonder who did it then, it worked fine yesterday...that old bastard.

We don't need to know that much! joke n_n

 

[faceless]

call the cops and say that he touched you...

 

[JPH]

Well...I got a new black DSL, I just remembered I still got waranty on my white DS Lite (that he destroyed)...one question: My white DS Lite also has a cracked hinge, if I sent it to Nintendo, would they check to see if my screen was broken? Or would they just send me a new DS becuase they saw my hinge was broken?

 

[gordillo]

well i dont know but I went to the walk-in and i told them everything and they just gave me a new one that i had to re-flash

 

[chalupa]

they will charge you like $50 but, you could send it in then keep it for resale and make like a $60 or so $ profit.
