Hacking Screen Calibration

[thermaltake]

Hi wonder if any one can help, my screen calibration seems to be out by a long way. As in pictochat if i place the stylus in the middle of screen it starts to write about half a cm to the left. The question i have is shall i buy a new bottom screen and attempt repair? or is it a software issue? or just scrap it and get a new one?. Any one had this problem before?
Oh ive tried the usual brushing around the screen edge trick still no luck!

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried the built-in screen calibration itself?

Go to settings on your DS and click on that yellow square at the end and do what's instructed.

If it doesnt work, and if you decide to scrap it and get a new one. I will buy it off you. Literally o.o

Try taking out the battery and putting back in about a minute later

No sorry that no good either.

Hmm, it defiantly sounds like an inner problem. I would first get a new screen and install it, and if that doesn't work. Then it's defiantly something inside your DS.

I can get a bottom screen from echostore.com for $19.99 not to badly priced. Are they hard to fit?

4 bucks, free shipping. The bottom screen and touch sensor are two different things, so you can just get one of these, and you can keep your old screen.
