Replacing the top screen on the Nintendo DS Lite.

-
-
Place your device upside down and locate the battery compartment.
-
Find the Phillips head screw securing the battery cover in the bottom right hand corner of the device.
-
-
-
Use the iFixit opening tool to carefully pry the battery out of the case.
-
After the old battery is removed replace it with a new battery facing the same direction as when the cover was opened.
-
-
-
Remove the following seven screws that secure the lower case to the DS Lite:
-
Three silver tri-wing screws (5mm long)
-
One black tri-wing screw (4mm)
-
Two gold Phillips screws (4mm)
-
One silver Phillips screw (3mm)
-
Do not remove the silver PH screw (3mm) in the battery compartment yet. It holds the main PCB in place.
-
-
-
On the front edge of the Nintendo DS between the headphone jack plug and volume controls remove the plastic insert (or cartridge) from the lower slot (Slot 2).
-
-
-
Flip the unit over so that it is facing right-side up.
-
Use a spudger to pry open the gap between the bottom case and the front panel. Work all the way around the case until the panel is free.
-
Avoid touching the L and R shoulder buttons, because they easily detach and are difficult to reassemble. Keep the bottom case flat against your workbench to help hold the shoulder buttons in place.
-
-
-
Carefully separate the two pieces by hand.
-
The two shoulder buttons are made up of three pieces -- the plastic button, a pin, and a spring. If they accidentally pop out while you are working, study the picture and make sure you put the spring in the correct position.
-
-
-
Locate the two screws that attach the logic board to the device.
-
Unscrew the two Phillips head screws.
-
-
-
Flip the logic board over so that the touch screen is facing up.
-
Using metal tweezers, carefully disconnect the other ribbon cable that connects the touch screen with the logic board.
-
-
-
Using one finger nail or the plastic opening tool, carefully lift the brown securing flap of the connector. Then disconnect the ribbon cable that connects the logic board to the upper screen.
-
-
-
Remove the two Phillips-head screws that hold the hinge in place.
-
Open the system up (just like if you were about to use it normally).
-
-
-
After opening it, carefully unhinge them from each other by sliding the bottom piece to the left and the top piece to the right.
-
-
-
Using a push pin, remove the four rubber bumpers located at the corners of the top screen.
-
After removing the LEDs and pulling apart the hinge, remove the round hinge shaft. This should be in the top screen piece.
-
-
-
Remove the screen by orienting it face down and pushing up on the screen from underneath.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

This guide is extremely poor. Please do not follow if you wish to repair your DS top screen. The steps finish before you get the end probably due to the fact the author blatantly doesn't want to mention the fact you need to solder the speakers on.
There should also be more warnings about the power switch broke on both the examples I tried to repair.
iFixit will be creating new DS Lite guides very soon. Give the authors credit though, because it's not easy to create a full set of repair guides!
no im with neil this is just bad
Yeah, this guide really sucks. I ripped one of the tips of the orange tapes trying to remove the old screen. I don’t think it’ll work now. Thanks a whole lot, @%^$$@$#.
