Hi can anyone help ive today changed my shell on my ds console and since putting it back together all i get is a white light on the top screen to bottom one works fine and so does the sound so power is going through ok im guessing ive knocked a wire or something but not sure could anyone please help.thanks Paul.
For a ds is can be the screen, but as you have just changed the shell, I suspect the cable has been damaged. Order a new ribbon cable and that should sort it out (if the connection was bad the DS would not normally boot up. dealextreme.com , a bit of a wait (3 weeks) but only a few dollars with free postage
hi thanks for your help but what is the ribbon cable for and same for the black one ? i guessed it was one of them but didnt know which.
hi again ive just been on dealextreame and it seems like there are a lot of ribbon cables which one do i need.
You said it was an original DS and not even a Lite? I'd say since it's going to be 2 generations old in a couple months anyway, take any money you might need to spend on parts fixing this one and put it towards a DSi. Or alternatively you could probably buy a DS at a pawn shop for 20 bucks. I got a DS Lite for $40.
There is only ONE ribbon cable for the Nintendo DS that is sold stand alone. All other ribbon cables are attached to their screen components.
