hello all , my daughters nintendo ds ( phat version ) has a broken hinge on the right hand side , if i buy a replacement shell ( phat version ) is it easy enough to rebuild the nintendo ds using a new shell ? the nintendo ds still works perfect but it has a broken hinge and i would like to fix it by using a replacement shell. i am used to opening up xboxes but have never opened a ds is it easy enough . thanx for any replies , woof811.
It's a nightmare, old chap. be prepare to lose your rag a few times . these instructions & pctures might help, althought it's for the DS lite: http://www.flickr.com/photos/62647765@N00/sets/72157594277451148/ make sure you have a tiny little screwdrivers, and do it on the floor, with no clutter lying around, coz those wee screws & springs like playing hide & seek. . took me about 3 hours the 1st time. good luck.
thanx for the link owd chap , so long as i take my time should be ok , woof811. im used to opening xboxes and fitting xecuter chips , just never had a ds open before . woof811.
