    The only solution is going to be a new motherboard, there is little that can be done for the DS except the straightforward problems (cable and screen not working related) your problem would be down to the main board and as all the components are surface mount there is nothing that can be done. You could replace the board or send it to a repair cantre that will change it for you

    OK, was hoping it might be top screen related ans a straight forward screen swap would sort it.

    cheers for that

    have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting the top, bottom and touch screen? has id been dropped or taken apart recently?
