    i need your guidance as to what to do with my nintendo ds. The story goes...

    At first the top screen blinked when tried to switch it on. I looked it up on the internet and found out that when this happens is the opposite screen that has the problem and needs replacement. So i did replace the bottom screen thinking that everything will get shorted but i get exactly the same problem as before. The top screen blinks, there is an instance of a yellow light on the side of the console and then nothing. I have triple check whether i've connected the cables correctly and i am pretty sure i have.

    the next step was to find information about the fuses. F1 and F2. It is true i checked their power with an electric screwdriver and they don't generate a very strong light, but they do give one whatsoever even if it is not strong.

    Any suggestions as to what steps i should take in order to fix the console and whether it is fixable or not? I am one step away from throwing it away sadly....
