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

truenhete TrueNhero -

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

David Moore - Replica

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

Del Riordan -

Can a ds lite screen be used to repair a ds one?? Lots of ds lite screens about......
