    • Use only a Phillips screwdriver to remove screw.

    • Make sure to remove the cover carefully to keep from losing Phillips screw in the cover. It will be needed for reassembly.

    • Use the iFixit opening tool to carefully pry the battery out of the case.

    • After the old battery is removed replace it with a new battery facing the same direction as when the cover was opened.

    • For some devices, you may be able to remove the battery by flipping the DS over and letting the battery fall into your hand.

    • One black tri-wing screw (4mm)

    • Two gold Phillips screws (4mm)

    • One silver Phillips screw (3mm)

    • Flip the unit over so that it is facing right-side up.

    • Use a spudger to pry open the gap between the bottom case and the front panel. Work all the way around the case until the panel is free.

    • Avoid touching the L and R shoulder buttons, because they easily detach and are difficult to reassemble. Keep the bottom case flat against your workbench to help hold the shoulder buttons in place.

    • Carefully separate the two pieces by hand.

    • The two shoulder buttons are made up of three pieces -- the plastic button, a pin, and a spring. If they accidentally pop out while you are working, study the picture and make sure you put the spring in the correct position.

    • When reassembling the cover, make sure that the power switch caver on the bottom case is in the off (down) position to avoid breakage.

This guide is extremely poor. Please do not follow if you wish to repair your DS top screen. The steps finish before you get the end probably due to the fact the author blatantly doesn't want to mention the fact you need to solder the speakers on.

There should also be more warnings about the power switch broke on both the examples I tried to repair.

iFixit will be creating new DS Lite guides very soon. Give the authors credit though, because it's not easy to create a full set of repair guides!

Yeah, this guide really sucks. I ripped one of the tips of the orange tapes trying to remove the old screen. I don’t think it’ll work now. Thanks a whole lot, @%^$$@$#.

MR J - Contestar

Honestly, thats a mistake on your end.
