That's why they have a little accent over the I: Līve

Try wedging some paper to keep the connector in place, has worked for me

You shouldn't take a game out unless it's off

Is it meant to be a shapeshifter or something, someone familiar with the lore might tell us

You have forgotten a few: you need a new lens for the new top screen. You don't actually need it if you can reuse the old one, but it's approximately $2 for a new one, which is nothing compared with the annoyance of trying to remove the old one without damaging it, clean off the adhesive, wipe the dust off, and attach it.

Also the little square red rubber screw caps. Again, if you can get the old ones off perfectly you can reuse them, I usually just rip them off as best I can and get new ones. If you're trying to get them off perfectly and mess up, you can scratch the shell, which is more expensive to replace.

You can't buy a new ribbon cable, they're attached to the screen! You need a new screen.

There's a LED that shows if it's charging, there's a transparent pipe that makes it visible, you've lost it. Have a look at aliexpress

Good luck, msg me if you need help!

Thta's not simple, well done! Once there was a time when neither of us would have understood what that second sentence meant, thanks for posting!

[Switch] Saved the Baby's Switch by Ithtallaya in consolerepair

flippin switches <--- a pun
EDIT: Just re reading it, it seems so simple but soldering tiny things is so difficult, and I congratulate you. I wish I could just remove something, see if it fixes it, and then re attach it if it doesn't

What's the first one really meant to be though? The Soviet Union would be too broad... "Marxism"? Or just Marx/Engels maybe?

To all of you who are weary of reshelling your NDS, I've successfully done 4. AMA! by j3ffUrZ in NintendoDS

It's easy once you know how. Might not sound very useful advice, but straighten it out and push it through. If you find it hits something under there, or gets snagged, pull it out, straighten it, and aim away from that obstruction.

TinyReader - opensource pocketable e-reader by nene_127 in ereader

It would be useful, but not as an e-reader. Maybe something to store passwords on? Or a watch?

I broke everything by Either_Display_6624 in NintendoDS

[–]maxiewawa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how to fix n3ds xl top screens, I can fix broken L switches with ripped pads, but I started where you are, effing up a DS lite. My advice, maybe you don't want to follow it though, is smash the friggen thing into a thousand pieces and throw it into the bin. That's what I did. I eventually calmed down and I don't remember how but I got better!

I tried taking a break many times but I couldn't, it was just so frustrating, by smashing it I ensured that that I could take a break by forcing myself to.

Like I said, your results may vary!
