My DS lite has fallen: bottom-display won't show...

I would suggest to go to Fred Meyer or an equivalant store and go to the electronics section. Find a new DS Lite battery.

top or bottom? What does the power light do when you turn it on?

well i don't actually have a ds lite ANYMORE but that used to happen to mine too. did you charge it long enough?...if you did try checking the top or bottom screen for water by shaking the ds

MINE DID THE SAME THING. SO WHAT YOU DO IS GO TO A PLACE THAT CAN FIX THAT KIND OF PROBLEM.

Hahahahaha that is how it works but if you go to the little DS at the bottom of the touch screen and tap it there will be a fixer manual use it and when you are done the system will shut off and just turn it on again and also the touch screen is the most important thing on your ds so keep it scratchless and clean! On some games the top screen is an important thing and somtimes it doesnt show anything

The DS top screen has two components, which are the LCD display, and the backlight. If the LCD display has gone bad but the backlight still works and the connecter is seated properly, the DS will still power on and the lower screen will be normal, and the top screen will light, but it won’t display anything.

You didn’t mention if your DS is the original DS or the DS Lite. Replacement top screens for the DS Lite are cheap on eBay, but installing the screen is a bit complex. The screen for the original DS is a different part and they are more expensive and hard to find.

I’ve never worked on an original DS, so I can only tell you about installing the top screen on a DS Lite.

First, the DS Lite has to be just about completely disassembled. You have to completely remove the top and bottom cases, pull out the microphone and wi-fi cables, and release the connecter for the top screen, which is located on the main board in the lower case. You’ll need the tri-wing screwdriver. You can leave the bottom screen/touch screen assembly attached to the main board, but be careful not to pull or tear the flex cables. Check YouTube for videos on disassembling the DS Lite.

Here’s the deal breaker for most people: The speakers are soldered to the flex cable of the top screen. I’ve never seen a replacement sold with speakers. You’ll have to unsolder your speaker wires from the old screen cable and reconnect them to the new one. If you can’t solder, you could take the screens to a local tv/electronics repair shop and pay to have it done. I got this information for you from http://wiinewz.com/forums/nds-general-discussion/72805-ds-top-screen-white-blank.html this appears to be a common problem I hope this helps

have you gone to the place were you got your DS from? if you have maybe you should try sending a letter or phoning the nintendo company

Is this the top screen or the bottom screen? The top isn't meant to react to the stylus.

u need a new screen in the bottom, try to get a nintendo brand screen instead of an aftermarket.

Close your DS with both the sea chart and crest map displaying.
