Review of the Nintendo DS Lite by Protomario

Lite? its spelled light Japan, get it right! The Nintendo DS (ニンテンドーDS, Nintendō Dī Esu?, sometimes abbreviated to DS or NDS) is a handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in 2004 in North America and Japan. The console features a clamshell design, similar to the Game Boy Advance SP, with two LCD screens inside—with the bottom one being a touchscreen. The Nintendo DS also features a built-in microphone and supports wireless IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) standards,[5] allowing players to interact with each other within short range (10–30 m, depending on conditions) or online with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, which launched later in the console’s lifespan. The Nintendo DS is the first Nintendo console to be released in North America before Japan. The system’s code name was Nitro,[6] which can be seen in the model number that appears on the unit (NTR-001).[7] The console’s name officially refers to “Developers’ System”, in reference to developers of new game designs the system was meant to inspire, and “Dual Screen”, the system’s most obvious and distinct feature.[8] On March 2, 2006, Nintendo released the Nintendo DS Lite, a redesign of the Nintendo DS, in Japan. It was later released in North America, Europe, and Australia in June 2006. The DS Lite is a slimmer, smaller, and lighter version of the Nintendo DS; it also has brighter screens.

Great tutorial. Managed to replace the top screen no problem, and I’d never soldered before. I just did a few practice solders. Folding the top screen cable and feeding it through the circular hole was the hardest part, just take your time.
Only thing I would add is to tape the shoulder buttons in place (on the outside of the case) when you’re putting the motherboard back in. I went through about 20 minutes of the little springs flying off every time I tried.
Hint #2 cuts off the replacement of the silver sleeve that protects the ribbon cable. ARGH! also any tips for protecting the ribbon cable from being chewed up by tje open end of the silver sleeve?
good job explaining the process and good camera work man. you guys should go on creating more badass videos. i will give it a try. Thanks
This dude is a soldering god. It makes it look stupid easy. And has perfect soldering spots. He is badass. I’ve soldered for years and years and my solders do not look at good as his does.
That top screen ribbon sucks! I broke two Ds lites trying to change the housing. Today though, my ds broke from the hinge and the screen ribbon broke! So I ordered a. New screen. This video is more helpful than some others ive seen so hopefully this time I will fix my ds lite!! Thanks!
@Alienpelvis86 Ok, I tried to fix it, it didn’t work, now the screen is all gray in addition to the lines of pixels being out.
@Ambariinaa solder? Um, you should be able to buy it at maybe a craft store, or Home Depot or something.
I did this, but some columns of pixels are out on the left side of the screen, what do you think’s the problem?
You make sliding the cover on look so easy. I checked that all the wires are in place but i still can’t slide it on. Also, i don’t know what happened. I changed the top screen and it works fine but now the bottom is looking fuzzy.
mate my top screen only displays flat background colors it lights and everything but no image just plain brackground colors, any ideas do i need a new one??? hope u could give me a hint. Thanks
