Help! I broke my original DS! How can I fix it?

sell it to game stop.
use the credit toward a used one, they only cost like 60 bucks anyways

Are any wires getting pinched in the between the two halves? I had something similar happen with a old Powerbook. Reseating the wires fixed it.

I’m guessing your not under warranty anymore?

@johnpowell what do you mean being pinched in between the two halves?

@sjmc1989 You are correct. I got it about a week after it was released in November 2004.

Ignore me.. I thought you were talking about the screen on the top.

@buckyboy28 Damn! My whole top screen got smashed after some seriously competitive night of Mario Yes I have some issues I’m working on it :) and they fixed it completely. My only advice is don’t take things apart by youtube instructional videos and take it to a game store usually someone can tell you if it is fixable or if you should give it up and by a new one.

@sjmc1989 Yeah, I think I learned my lesson, but I feel like I can probably just retrace my steps and attempt to fix it before I go to a game store where they will tell me that it is a dinosaur and that I can buy the shiny new one for $130.

@buckyboy28 Yeah if I had to buy a new one I would feel like I was cheating on my old DS. We have been through some things and it is worn out just perfectly :) Agreed. Try to fix it!
