    Parts - deal extreme

    Instructions - YouTube

    Order a top screen, ribbon cable, and replacement case. Parts should run about $30.00 USD shipped.

    I believe you, but none of the DS Phat shells showed as being out of stock.

    That being said, dealextreme's website is notoriously bad about showing inventory status.

    There are several for sale on eBay.

    It looks easy from the guides... buy 2 screens because you will break the ribbon on your first attempt.

    No you won't, on a PHAT the screen only has a small ribbon, on a lite the screen is attached to the ribbon (hence easy to damage)

    Changing the case - always use the original screws as the new case screws heads, strip very easily
