Hacking What do I exactly need to open my DS Lite?

[Satangel]

So I've read the assembly guide of the DS Lite, and it says I need this:

- #00 philips screwdriver
- small regular screwdriver (jewelers size)
- tri-wing screwdriver
- jewelers sized needle-nosed pliers

Where can I buy these things online?

You could try www.dealextreme.com, but be prepared for long waits on shipping times.

also try ebay, you can get all of the parts in home depot except the tri-wing btw

You only really need a small Philips screwdriver and a Tri-wing screwdriver. The flathead/pliers are only for getting off the rubber tabs covering the screws, which could be done using a knife or similar.

That's all you need... for $1.49, though be prepared for over a week shipping

The triwing is an absolute, without it you have nothing.

You also want a decent Youtube video showing you someone actually doing it (there are a few).

If a week's wait is actually something that will vex you, I would also include a shit load of patience.

Anyone that moans about a week's shipping likely shouldn't even try to disassemble their DS, as they don't have the temperment to do it right.
