Hi there, I've recently got a bottom half of a ds lite which has been snapped in half off my friend. He says he can't find the top part. Now I've never personally repaired a DS before, but I've repaired plenty of PSPs and know the drill. Also I've got all the necessary tools (inc. a triwing).

Here's a photo: (Click to enlarge)

My question is:
The actual bottom part of the DS looks undamaged ie the hinges are on and nothing is cracked. Would I be able to buy just a top half of a shell or would I have to buy the whole thing?

I realize that the other parts I'll need is the top screen, microphone and wifi board.

Is there anywhere you can actually buy just the top?

THX,
Matty

Yeah, you'll need a new WiFi cable, microphone cable, top screen and the casing.

Be warned, the fuse might have blow. You'll have to solder over it if that's the case.

    @SylverReZ Yup. Been a longtime fan of Ween. Not a mega-fan by any means but I'm pretty familiar with most of their tunes.

    I like electronics that use detachable cables, that way if the cable breaks you can just swap in a new one instead of replacing the whole unit

    the L hdmi adapters work great on my tv and receiver. so much less stress on the ports using them than regular cables. in that instance anyway.

    @RedColoredStars, I also listen to Beck, some of their songs are fine. Only found out about them through Windows Me; you know, that one operating system nobody ever likes?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.

    I downloaded XP on dialup when it came out. Overnights for like a week. cuz I couldn't tie up the phone line during the day. It was so awesome and worked so great going from ME to XP.
