Introduzione

The purpose of this guide is to explain how to replace the upper LCD screen in a Nintendo DS. All tools needed to fix the screen can be referenced or bought in the tool section below. Care should be taken when removing and moving the ribbon cables to make sure not to tear, break, or damage them. Care should also be taken when the screen is removed from the case to make sure not to tear, break, or damage the black and red wires connecting the two circuit boards. Damage to either of these components might not be able to be fixed and will not be covered in this guide. To prevent damage to these components, the proper tool must be used.

Unlike the DS Lite and later models, there is no reason to take apart the bottom portion of the original DS in order to remove the top screen. The first ten steps of this guide could be skipped.

Thanks great advice

Can a ds lite screen be used to repair a ds??

David Moore - 28/01/2017 Replica

Nope, Nintendo engineered the Lite as a refinement of the original. Therefore almost every component is different! Likely to become cheaper to manufacture.
