AH!!
My DS which Ive never had problems with recently started to go blank on the top screen.

Basically when I am playing it will go blank on the top screen as I might move flip the screens.

And the only way to get it to work is to play around flipping it and pushing down hard on it.

I have no idea what to do, now it won;t work at all!?!?!?

Please help! Thanks

Ditto; this sounds like a serious problem. Have you dropped your system? If not, or perhaps even if you have, Nintendo will liekly send you a free replacement if your system is still under warranty.

sounds like a loose or broken connector for the top screen. You'll need to get it fixed by nintendo.

Thanks for the quick responses.

Ok so I bought this from eBay but it was brand new not refurbished in the original wrapping..

It turns black not blank as if power still goes to it but it doesnt show any images.

So I dont have a warranty, can someone show me how I can contact Nintendo and get it fixed.

I have not dropped it or damaged it, this happened on it's own.

the flat wire that connects the top screen to your motherboard has gotten loose or is broken. It would be much cheaper for you to either buy a new top screen at ebay and replace it yourself or look inside and find out if the flatwire is only loose which you can just snap into place before you waste 50/75 bucks on Nintendo's service.

If that is the case I suggest you send it to Nintendo. Here is a link on how to disassemble a DS Lite http://www.nds-central.com/

i've had this problem many a time, but mine just goes white, once it went pink. it COULD be a problem with your gamecard, like mine. the chip inside the casing for the game couldbe loose, and if u tilt your ds back, the chip will slide, thus disconnecting ti from your ds, and causing it to freeze. ALTHOUGH, i COULD be wrong. its all random speculation.
