My son has had a Nintendo DS for 4 months. The top screen has a patch of discoloration down the middle. The characters appear yellow, pink and light green. Do we need a new screen or can it be repaired?

Turn the ds on without a game in it and go to the settings icon (looks
like a tiny ds) on the bottom middle of the screen then go to the far
right yellow icon and it will re-calibrate the touch screen and let you
know if calibration was a success.
It is a problem with the flatcable of the upper TFT screen or the TFT itself. Only solution is treplacement of the TFT screen (flatcable is not separate replaceble). Because you say it is not even one year old, you still have warranty. Send it to Nintendo for repair!
