the yellow screen isn't really a problem. it's common, i would not call it a problem as many ds lites units have it.

unless its REALLY REALLY REALLY yellow, there's no problem at all.

I have the tint, and i'm happy with it - i'm not exchanging it again (had a white DSL before).

Edit: Btw, when I had a no-tint DS Unit, it had a washed out screen instead. I prefer the tint :).

Mine has two dead pixels but it doesn't bother me that much, only when the screen becomes all black.

No no, don't worry; onyx basically means black, so we're talking about the black DS Lite that was recently released here in America.

By the way, does anyone know if Nintendo's one year hardware warranty would fix the yellowish touch screen?

Does anyone have a flickr of what a yellowish touch screen looks like?  I think mine's fine.  is it obvious? 

I just double checked- not a single dead pixel.

Have you guys noticed that the Onyx DS Lite has more problems than the other two colors (White and Pink)?  I wonder why.  I also wonder how problematic the Coral Pink one is, since the Polar White seems to be the most problem-free of all.  Weird.

Yeah; basically, Nintendo only asks you to prove that you bought the system brand new a year ago at the most, so if you have an original receipt or some other form of proof of purchase, you can ship it to Nintendo and they'll fix it for free. Check their website for full details.

im glad the white ds lite is the one with the less probalems im thinking about buying it during the holidays. Someone said theres going to be a price drop and theyll be $99. Anyway i have a question. Do you need a warranty if you get a ds lite with a crack to have nintendo replace it for free?

Mine is pretty darn good, not a single dead pixel. Yes there is a slight yellowishness to the bottom screen but to be honest if no one had mentioned it, I probably wouldn't have noticed it. Very happy with my black DS Lite.

You guys seem to say that only Black DS's get dead pixels and yellow tint? Well I got a white DS That got 4 problems!

Harsh Tinted Screen

2 dead Pixels

Clicking L Button (pisses me off in Mario Kart)

Clicking Volime (Lopsided, clicky when holding straight, maybe this is normal, I don't know)

 4 Problems and mines white! And even worse, its the FFXII R W DS Lite, I paid a good 400 bucks for this, it came with the game though (like 340 + 35 UPS + Tax and fees). Play-Asia won't refund me =(

Hey tc,you should have added a fifth option about faulty d pads.Some people,including me,who bought an onyx ds lite had trouble moving characters diagonally in some games.
