DS Screen Hi my dougther drop the DS and now the screen is multi color

Monitor has been successfully broken with fall.

Hi shodo37,

Most of the time when you're getting multi colored screen after the machine was dropped is caused by a cracked LCD. But I understand that it's hard to believe that screen is broken if you're not seeing any physical crack on the outside. By going to BIOS it will help you determine if your screen is cracked. If you don't know how to go to there follow the steps below:

>>> Turn on your PC, once it start up keep on tapping F2 button. You'll be routed on the page that has blue background. If on this page you'll still get multi colored screen then it's indeed broken screen. No crack on the outside but there's something needed to be checked inside.

Broken LCDs can only be fixed by replacing it with a new one. And if system is still under warranty you may contact Lenovo. They will offer you options to resolve the issue depending on what your warranty covers.

Hope this will help you.


Thank you for using Fixya.

I have this exact same problem. :S

yes you need a new LCD screen 5-10 on ebay

Unfortunately this is coming to be known as the "Green Screen of Death"... It is likely one or more of the components that create the image on the screen are damaged. This usually occurs if there has been an impact -- such as being dropped or hit -- to the Nintendo DS's screens. Your Nintendo DS system will need to be repaired.

You can give Nintendo a call at 1-800-255-3700 or contact them via their website:

Hope this helps!

something is wrong with connection with the bottom and the top screen. If you have ever dropped it that could happen. If all is bad try a new battery.

just google "new top screen for nintendo ds lite" many options will come up.the screens are somewhat hard to replace.email me if you need help

Most probably the multi color screen means te screen is broken. Both screens (top and bottom ) can be replaced, it takes a special tri-wing screw driver to open the DS, price of the screen to replace +/- € 20.

Please rate

Might be worth taking it into a phone repair shop to see if they can replace the LCD screen. (yes, a phone repair shop - a lot of them do portable console screens too!) If they can't do it, it's probably unfixable realistically.

you should go return for anothert it will probably get worse
