Best place for a DS repair?

Let us suppose that you had ordered a replacement shell for a DS. Let
us further suppose that you were happy working inside computers,
including laptops, and so therefore thought you'd have no hassle
fitting said shell.

Let us further suppose that you were, in fact, a complete idiot and
have made a right flaming hash of things...


Taking this
purely-theoretical-and-in-no-way-related-to-my-current-situation set of
events, who would you go to to get the machine back together again? Any
chains tha do it? I can see people advertising online but I have no
experience with them etc.. - wondering if anyone here had. All the bits
are fine, it's just that Humpty has not been put back together again
and I'm not totally sure what I've done wrong. Err...I mean what the
theoretical person might have done wrong. Honest.


Cheers,
Ian

Comedy bloke!

It's not that tricky. Have a look at the instructions bu Schock! at

I've used it twice and it works. Two twiddly bits - getting the rolled
up ribbon through the hinge and into its home, and getting the
black+red wires through the edge of the lid without them escaping.

Or if you google for "ds lite case assembly instructions" you'll get
several more, and youtube videos of the same too.
