well, my DS Lite hinge is a bit loose. anyone know how to tighten it back?

you drop your NDS lite? sacrilege!!

I got a crack hinge on my DSLite. There is no way to tighten it back unless u change its casing. I recommend SHOCK! Casing.

so anyone managed to come up with an answer for this? search the net and see no answers at all

What should have been done is that, you get a replacement from Nintendo themselves(like in US/JP/EU/AU). I think the last time the JJ Nintendo counter was opened, someone asked, and they said they can't help.

But what you can do, as why_79 has told me, you can get a new shell for about 40USD or something. Almost half the price of a DSL(in states).

My beloved red/black DSL's hinge just cracked! Not just a small hairline fracture, but a full-blown catastrophic failure! Bummed out about it, and so is the missus. Anybody got an experiences with this as well as options?

omg, that remind me how furious i am when playing COD 4 on DS... almost break my nds because getting killed everytime running in the hallway on.. chapter 2 i think

Anybody got any feedback? My seller just quoted me RM200+ to replace the goddamned case. A bit pissed off with Nintendo for the flaw.

Sorry wrong question..
Should be when u bought yours?? Mediumsliced.

same problem lol

I bought mine early this year. Right around CNY, methinks.

RM200 IS OK. unless u wanna buy another DS?

so no one have an answer for the loose hinge? changing the case is just too pricey

Well, mine has the same problem too. I still can live with it at the moment.

Probably will buy a new one if it goes worse though. Somemore, my left button on the d-pad is getting less and less response. Sigh.

to be honest, my launch week white NDSL cracked one month in. Aside from the slight 'kecacatan visual' it's still works fine. No biggie, IMHO.

I just superglued the bad boy back together. Otherwise, how to layan my Civ Revo?

Superglued. Wah? Can show a picture of your ds now?

there's no way to tighten your hinges, the best fix would be a case replacement. for preventing this scenario to happen you shoud hold the upper portion of your ds while playing or don't open it like a butterfly wing

If case replacement, I'd rather get a new set.

Sure thing! It's not with me at the moment, will take a snap first chance I get. Unless you were being insincere ler, then boo on you!

Eh, come on. I really want to take a look at your glued hinge.

My DS Lite have cracked hinge, but it still tight...

mediumsliced, pls show ur superglued hinge...hehe

Hi all, as promised! The two halves used to be loose before I superglued it. It's nice and tight now. I know it looks a little ghetto, but hey, at least I just saved me some money.

wow! even black DS oso got this problem? I tot only the white one...

Only the first few batches of the Whites.

Mine's not even the black one, it's the limited edition crimson/black.

Thus, if I were to replace the case, I will get one of the normal ones, so to heck with it, I'm supergluing them babies together again.

I heard from somewhere that protection case help to reduce chances of getting the hinge crack coz it prevents you to open to 180 degree... no harm trying that...

Ah, I tried to open it to 180 degree once. Luckily it didn't crack.

this hinge causes my customer upper screen not displaying well
