NIntendo DS Lite-Top Screen is VERY dark

Help, my son's gameboy DS lite top screen is very dark. If he stands in the sun, just right, he can see a bit. I've researched and found that the problem may be a broken power connection to the top screen. Help, we're in Costa Rica and I can't send it to Nintendo....

Ah, this happened to my cousin a year ago, his younger brother(2 years old) stabbed a pencil into the ds card slot and the top screen turns dark and he cant play most ds games.

your solution: i dunno how to fix this but u can try buying touch screen based games like animal crossing wild world and that may do.

The LCD Screen may be damaged. badly. Try asking a mechanic to replace the LCD screen.

Green screen

There is a ribbon that connects the top screen of the ds to the motherboard. It is possible that this ribbon became damaged when the hinge broke. A possible fix would be to replace the upper screen. Hope this helps.
