Introducción
The purpose of this guide is to explain how to replace the upper LCD screen in a Nintendo DS. All tools needed to fix the screen can be referenced or bought in the tool section below. Care should be taken when removing and moving the ribbon cables to make sure not to tear, break, or damage them. Care should also be taken when the screen is removed from the case to make sure not to tear, break, or damage the black and red wires connecting the two circuit boards. Damage to either of these components might not be able to be fixed and will not be covered in this guide. The proper tools and handling must be used to prevent damage to these components.

Remove the battery door.

With your hands, pry the back panel off the main case.
-
Separate the back from the front, and set it aside.
If some of your screws spin free but can’t be removed, it maybe that the screw posts have separated from the shell.
This makes separating the back panel more difficult, but it will still work.
The plastic used for the original silver nds may be the most prone to the UV damage that causes the plastic to become brittle.

Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the four screws on the circuit board.

Unlock the two large ribbon cables by moving the black clip up.

Benutze für die nächsten Schritte besser einen Spudger und keine Pinzette,
sonst läufst du Gefahr eines der Kabel oder die Platine selbst zu beschädigen.
Better use a Spudger, not a Tweezer for the next Steps.
That minimize the risk to demolish one of the wires or the mainboard himself.
That’s what i did but it didn’t work

Locate the two small ribbon cables, beneath the rightmost large ribbon cable.
-
Slide the locks for the small ribbon cables down to the side, and remove the cables.
Does anyone know where I can get a new connector for the P6 connector? I can only find them for the ds lite

Use a flathead screwdriver, tweezers, a toothpick or dental tool to remove rubber covers on screen.

Then using a #00 Phillips head screw driver to remove the screws beneath.
Now that the original NDS is getting on in years, it’s possible that these silicone covers have become more fragile. I’ve shredded all 4 silver covers of my original silver nds.

Unlike the DS Lite and later models, there is no reason to take apart the bottom portion of the original DS in order to remove the top screen. The first ten steps of this guide could be skipped.
Thanks great advice
Can a ds lite screen be used to repair a ds??
Nope, Nintendo engineered the Lite as a refinement of the original. Therefore almost every component is different! Likely to become cheaper to manufacture.
Can a ds lite screen be used to repair a ds one?? Lots of ds lite screens about......
How do we go about repairing it though we only know how to get it out now
I followed the steps, but after getting everything put back together neither screen will light up. It will still take a charge and makes a noise when the start button is hit, but I can’t even get either screen to flash… any ideas what I did wrong here?
Make sure that the ribbon cables are properly and fully inserted - they may go in further than what you think.
If not the screens will not display anything.
How much do you think it would cost to get this fixed in store?
Where can I buy the replacement screens?
Amazing guide!!! I mashed 2 Broken Ds's together on my first try, it only took an hour. Thank you soooo much.
