Post by cowsgoquack101 »

I just got a new shell for my DS and I have to take it apart to put it in the new case. Can anyone please tell me how?

I haven't taken one apart, but under the rubber pads and stickers is where most of the screws are usually hidden. For the stickers, just feel for an indent and poke a hole through when you find one. If I had a DS I could help more, by taking it apart myself and telling you how.

I took like 1 sec to do that. I sold my DS so i cant show you but on the bottom is the jist of it. You need to get the one under the battery! And theres one in the GBA slot. You will need a very small flat head screwdriver for this.

No I've already done that I need to seperate the screens to put ti in the new case. I was looking at it and it's a ribbon cable and a power wire going to the top screen.

You need to tap out the hinge parts.

I think he couldn't figure out how to get the hinges off.
