My Nintendo DS Lite Just Broke

Ok, so I was playing Pokemon earlier and all was well except for my broken hinge and non-working speakers. I went out for a while, and when I came back my DS no longer turned on. When I attempt to turn it on my bottom screen flashes white, the green light turns on and then it shuts off. Googling has revealed that this means there is a problem with my top screen. My guess is that the wires are disconnected as the hinge is broken and the speakers no longer work, so they probably have the same issue. Does anyone know a good (and easy) way to fix this? I don't want to wait until my birthday.

Maybe call your local nintendo customer service. My friends ds froze during the night, in  the snow, so he sent it in and got it back 2 days later.

Be glad it isn't a 3ds, it would cost a lot of money to fix. I have a broken DS Lite too! :d

I would send it in, but I don't really want to spend money on a busted old DS Lite when I'm getting a 3DS soon anyway. Thanks regardless.

Once my screen  flickered on and off in power saver. IT turned out the card wasn't in properly and for some reason it was working but power saver wasn't

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

We had a white ds lite which got broken soooooo much I literally ripped the screens apart. The black one we have still works and isn't broken.

The hinge problem seems widespread. It happened to mine, and two other friends.

I had a dream this happened to me  tongue

Anyway, if your getting a 3DS soon, then you can report the topic to get the mods to close it.

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

How do you break a DS in half? Frustrating game?
