    I made a nintendo ds lite at the end of last year.
    I had the main PCB and bought the rest of the parts, screens and case, on-line.
    Recently I replaced the touch-screen ribbon connector on it.
    It's been working fine for the last few weeks until now.

    The Bottom screen is showing Horizontal Lines (which flicker).
    These lines are getting worse.
    Has anyone experienced this before?
    Does anyone know what the fix is? I'm thinking it might be the ribbon connector.
    Nintendo's website says it is likely one or more of the components that create the image on the screen are damaged

    Thanks,

    Nope

    Usual suspect would be the screen - when you get a replacement make sure it has the rubber covering on the bach - if not you will blow your fuse on the board, just add electrical tape to the back if it doesn't
