Hey guys, my daughters Nintendo Ds Lite's bottom screen is fading and flickering, I'm going to fix this myself but was wondering if someone could tell me if I need to replace the lcd or the mother board?
Thanks :)

How to dismantle an Original Nintendo DS.
If yours is the NDS Lite, just find this video in youtube:
"Disassembling Nintendo DS Lite"
The bottom screens have 2 wrap wires, one big and visible, that is the screen cable, the other is small and not so obvious and this one is for the touch screen and you dont want to get it broken.
The cable connectors release the cable by lifting ot pulling the brown or black lock and be sure to remember how it was connected so you can know the right position of the cable when connected right not having any problem with loosen cables before you finish.
Good Luck...

LCD FLICKER SOLUTION
SOURCE: NINTENDO DS LITE POWERS ON AND THEN IMMEDIATELY OFF
The system powers on, then performs a system check. The DS is finding some sort of error More than likely the top screen was damaged. I've been told that the screen that flickers is usually the good screen. The bad one doesn't flicker because it's damaged. You can replace the top screen yorself (if you're fairly handy), or you can pay a professional to do it. You can get new screens from Dealextreme.com for around 10US dollars, with free shipping. You can also find videos about how to change out the top screen on youtube. Hope this helps

Hey, I can help you.
Yes, the Bottom LCD is dead. You will have to exchange it.
Below I have two links you should follow through. One to purchase a bottom LCD for a very cheap price and the other will show you how to replace the bottom LCD.
REMEMBER.. To place a plastic pad under the bottom lcd so it doesn't ground out the board. Forgetting to do this could potentially blow a fuse and you will have to replace those!!
