Well, you can buy a hinge from a lot of places, but the wire that broke, you are going to have to try and fix the wire, get it connected again so that it will work. The only other solution is that you will have to send it in to get fixed.

My sons ds hinge broke and i taped the console, he removed the tape and eventually he broke the cable and the black wire. we bought another case and a new cable and replaced them both and now the ds only flicks on then goes off. we assume its the wire,as its a small coaxial one,we soldered it together. it charges fine but wont power up any more,we have tinkered with it so many times and cant get a result. I am currently trying to find a repairer to look at it. I dont recommend repairing it yourself to save money, put the money towards a repairer.

YOU CAN REPLACE THE CASING BY BUYING A CASE FROM EBAY £1.99. DO IT ASAP BEFORE IT GETS MORE DAMAGE IE WIRES SPLITTING ETC!!

The access point's security settings are not supported by the nintendo DS
This means you've got a WPA/2 security connection on your router/access point, whereas the Nintendo DS only supports WEP or open encryption.
You can:
1) change your security from WPA to WEP on your router
2) Purchase a used nintendo wifi stick
3) Set up a second router or access point with WEP security specifically for your DS

My top screen is separated from my bottom screen but it still works because a part from the right hinge broke off. The only problem is that my microphone doesn't work. How can I fix it?
There are 2 thin wires that run along the inside of the spine that clip onto two connectors on the mother board - one is the microphone. It sounds like this has become dislodged. Unscrew the back and check if one of the two wires is loose. On YouTube there is a great tutorial for "how to repair Nintendo DS Lite touch screen by supermodchips that explains very clearly where this wire should be. Good luck

Ds lite hinge is broken is there an easy fix Right Hinge Broke, Screen Flaps instead of clicking and occasionally goes blank.
beeabe,

I'm sorry to tell you but there is no *easy* fix. If you've had no experience taking apart and assembling a Nintendo DS, I advise you NOT to start with your one and only. It's so easy to rip the LCD cables because they're so thin and you'll have to go buy another.


There are two ways to fix this... Super glue / tape it as much as you can , or send it in for repair or find a local Game repair place.



To fix a broken hinge on a DS, it requires you to disassemble the WHOLE thing. Which sucks when just starting out.

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.

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!
