Nintendo DSi XL Upper Screen

Schritt 1

Use a push pin to remove the four plastic screw covers on the front bezel.

Schritt 2

Remove four Phillips screws securing the front bezel to the rear bezel.

Schritt 3

Using two hands, gently slide the rear bezel upwards.
The rear bezel will move only about 2 mm.

Schritt 4

Insert a spudger into the gap between the front and rear bezel
Rotate the spudger away from the DSi XL, prying the two bezels apart.

Schritt 5

In the same manner as described above, continue prying along the top edge of the front and rear bezels.

Schritt 6

Separate the rear bezel from the front bezel.
Do not attempt to completely remove the rear bezel yet. It is still attached to the front bezel by the rear-facing camera.

Schritt 7

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the rear camera off the rear bezel.
Remove the rear bezel.

Schritt 8

Using the flat end of a spudger, pry the Wi-Fi antenna out of its housing from within the front bezel and move it aside.

Schritt 9

Using the flat end of a spudger, pry the left speaker out of its socket on the front bezel.
De-route the speaker cable along the top edge of the screen.
Work carefully and slowly, holding onto the wire and not the speaker itself. The solder joints may break if pulled on too hard.
In the same manner as described above, remove the right speaker from its socket on the front bezel.
Place both speakers on the back of the upper LCD.

Schritt 10

Open the DSi XL.
Carefully push the upper display assembly through its housing in the front bezel.
The upper display assembly is held in place via adhesive to the front bezel. Push firmly, being careful not to break the upper LCD.
Rotate the upper display assembly out of the front bezel.

Schritt 11

Insert the flat end of a spudger underneath the adhesive strip that secures the front screen to the upper LCD.
Slide the spudger along the bottom side of the upper LCD, freeing the adhesive along that edge.

Schritt 12

In the same manner as previously described, detach the adhesive along the left edge of the upper LCD.

Schritt 13

In the same manner as previously described, detach the adhesive along the right side of the upper LCD.

Schritt 14

Carefully lift the upper screen from the bottom edge.
Pull the upper screen away from the upper LCD.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

This step-through is not complete.....

how do you actually change the screen????

lrj7 - 02/04/16

Yes, you're right. Also there's a gap between steps 7 to 8 because you cannot actually detach the upper screen without disconnect the board cable from the lower screen part.

By the way, I can't quite successfuly open the upper screen part on my dsi xl because it dont seem to give any space between the two covers. Any suggestions?

NOTE To others out there… this guide is only to change the plastic cover over the screen, and not the screen itself. See James Bourne’s link for the real “how to replace upper LCD” guide.
