Hacking The hunt for a perfect DS Lite

[Empyre]

My dark blue JP lite is perfect. I think the JP ones are made better which is odd given the number of them they have to make for that region.

most jap made stuffs are good quality

i thinks it's just preference dude out of the four diffrent ds's iv used they have all been perfect no dead pixels yellow screen or anything infact i don't think i'v seen a dead pixel before in my entire life lol

I've had 5 lites, and not a perfect one amongst them.

The only thing thats wrong with both of the DS Lites I've had are the volume control bar, its a little shaky but its not too bad. Not as bad as my last one, I've never experience a bumpy touch-screen, thats a really bad fault, and dead pixels would bug the fuck out of me, like my last DS.

Speaks the truth.

The DS is made in China not Japan.

And the center of the touchscreen is less responsive then the corners, only really noticeable when you play with Colors! and you draw a line from one side to the other (breaks the line)


Now that's strange isn't it? My biggest complaint was the responsiveness of the touch screen. So far no one has reported that problem. And now a fellow dutchman has the same problem. And it was only on a dutch forum I saw the same problem described. It's exactly what I described. Less responsive in the middle, which is annoying because suddenly you have to press harder.
So it almost seems that the touch-response issue is something typical for dutch DSes!?!? THAT SUCKS!!

I bought mine at dynabyte if that helps

all of them are made in china, not japan.

I got a DSL couple weeks ago and it came in good condition. No dead pixels, no cracks, and a responsive touchscreen. The only thing that annoys me is the d-pad with diagonal movements but I think that's the case with all DSLs.

1st ds: grainy touchscreen (you know when you get water on your monitor and it becomes rainbowy? it looks like that)

2nd ds: bad diagonals, grainy screen

3rd ds: numerous dead pixels

4th ds: grainy screen, touch screen was whacked (when I touch it, it registers it as being touched somewhere else)

5th ds: bad diagonals, 3 dead pixels

6th ds: everything seemed perfect... untill, I found a huge red pixel and blue pixel on black screens



well, im waiting untill loblaws gets some new ds's in stock, maybe this one will be good
