Hey man, don't underestimate Garfield: a tale of two kitties for the DS. Many a dark day I've had, that had been brightened by Garfield:a tale of two kitties for the DS. It is truly a game.
Loved watching this, glad to see you giving new life to the ds for your brother! In this hobby I think its just as fun to gift/fix/mod video game devices for your loved ones as it is to keep them yourself!
You're not going to believe this but I laughed at you for struggling so bad. Then later went to fix one of my ds' because it's new housing just came in today. And I had the exact same struggles of screens working and then breaking and me having to Frankenstein three different consoles together. It was a mess. And I somehow cracked the digitizer so I had to order one more and now I'm waiting for it. This console is no joke when it comes to fixing it
I attempted to do a restore of my ds lite and I took it apart when it was working perfectly put the new shell on it and the top screen is no longer working so I got to buy the new top screen but I already put almost $80 into the ds for a new barrel new shell new buttons and not a $30 top screen but I kinda don't want to put anymore money into the ds so now it's wrapped up with bubble wrap and is in a box for a future project
Generous dabs of 99% isopropyl alchool on the cartridge pins. Insert and remove it from the DS slot a dozen times. Let the alchool evaporate. Should work reliably after that.
Where are you based? Im curious because i bought a reshelled ds lite with a transparent shell, it seems as though the hinge is installed backwards (it clicks into the “semi open” position when its being closed. Pair that with the blown right speaker and i was lowkey disappointed. Was kinda looking around to see if someone would be willing to fix it if i pay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't buy this shell. This is paint over a white shell. It's a fingerprint magnet, it feels bad to touch and i don't know how resistant it is to scratches, but once the paint is damaged, you will see the white plastic underneath. Buy a plain color or a transparent shell, they are pure plastic. They will resist better to wear and it will feel better to the touch.
The Great Wave shell they do is pretty good as it's white plastic anyway. I'd say transparent shells are the biggest gamble as transparent plastic is always more brittle and prone to getting damaged, especially when the screw posts aren't great as they often aren't in aftermarket shells.
