DS Lite- top screen has gone white

Mind the ryhme in the title but I have a problem here. I think it can be somewhat easily solved but I want to know what the best thing to do is.

As the title says the top screen of my DS Lite has gone completely white and does nothing else when I turn it on. It's completely my fault so this didn't just happen randomly.

I took a quick look on eBay and I saw plently of the top screens themselves being sold for about $15, and it comes with the special screwdriver thingy you apparently need. But I don't know how easy that would be to do that and if it would 100% solve the problem. The top part of my DS is obviously damaged and I've always thought you could completely detatch the top section and replace it. I didn't know you could just replace the screen.

So... what shall I do?

I got no clue... I'm sorry wish I could help. :(

hope that nintendo will fix it if you call them or just find a new one

It sounds like you screen is cracked. You can talk to Nintendo about it but I'm sure they will make you pay a good bit to have it fixed, if they agree to fix it at all (although, make sure you talk to them before you take apart you DS).Your best bet is to buy the top screen and make sure you get the screwdriver as well.

It's the LCD that gets cracked so most often you will never see any outside damage. So most likely that is what happened.

You can call Nintendo if you don't want to wait. I don't know what the number is though, but you can call almost any GameStop and get the number from them.

No clue. Sorry bro.

It's not like just change some press buttons, i assume that would be very complicated, at least for me, you are gonna need do some welding, which sounds like, err....

Good try there any way! you deserve encouragment.
