Question about Nintendo DS Console

Top Screen of DS has faded to white

My son has the nintendo DS Lite. This morning, after playing for about 20 minutes, the top screen (non-touch screen) faded to almost all white - making it unreadable/viewable. When I asked if he'd dropped it his answer was "maybe". His games are unplayable in this state.

If he dropped it then the bottom should not show up as well. the bottom screen you can play the older games plus get instructions for the new games. if they are both out then it is the motherboard. if it is top only, it is the lcd screen and you can get that replaced for about $45. find a place to fix it or send it to nintendo. thanks, connie

White Bottom Screen
The bottom screen is fiddly to replace, but easier than the top one lol. Get a cheap screen off Ebay/DealExtreme and DIY - DIY guides are on YouTube. Specialist tool needed is a tri-wing driver.

Nintendo DS lite - dropped
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.

Nintendo DS Lite Touch Screen Fades
You're going to have to send it in for repair. It sounds like it's out of warranty, which is unfortunate.

Non-working top screen
If you see lines on either screen of your Nintendo DS Lite during game play, then it is likely one or more of the components that create the image on the screen are damaged. This can occur if there has been an impact -- such as being dropped or hit -- to the Nintendo DS Lite's screens. Phone 1-800-255-3700 to discuss available repair options and they will be grateful to assist you at any time of need.Important Note: If you are seeing lines on the screen that slowly fade away after turning off the system, this is normal.

DS doesn't boot up Hi, my original DS's hinges recently broke, and I pulled off the top screen, by ripping the cords off the top bit. Now the DS won't boot up. If I press the power button, the light goes green, then the screen flashes white for 2 seconds max, then goes dead. even with a game in either one or both of the cartridge slots will not let it boot up. I am trying to get it so it's only the bottom screen, and only plays Gameboy Advance games, like a more modern GBA. Please help!
