Hello, I have followed the guide to repair my lower screen and figured I would repair the broken hinge while it was apart. I glued the casing back together but when I put the hinge back in and go to align it to put in the screws, it breaks the housing/glue again. I’m thinking my hinge is frozen and that’s what’s breaking the housing? When I try to turn the silver piece of the hinge, I get no movement. I don’t want to try lubricating it without knowing if that’s what it needs? Or if it would be better to try to get a replacement piece.
Hi! This is a common issue with the DS Lite’s I’m affraid… The hinge should be fine, it’s most of the time always the housing which breaks at that point where yours is broken. I always replace the housing of the console and this will fix it.
