Nintendo DS lite dim lower screen - Nintendo DS Lite

Hi,

If the green light reacts as you state then the chances are the fuses are fine.

Again, with the reaction of the green light being as you stated i'm going to assume you have a problem with one of your screens, tell me... when the green light comes on does one of the screens flash? If it does then we have found the answer...

The screen that doesnt flash is the one with the problem, you can try taking the DS lite apart and re-connecting the screens ribon to see if that sorts it, if it doesnt then im afraid you will have to buy a new screen. These can befound on ebay for a reasonable price.

I have written some guides on how to change your screens and how to disassemble the DS lite, these will guide youthrough the processes you need to take. These can be found by clicking on my name and then scrolling down to "tips and tricks", press the "view all" to see all of them and find what you need.

I hope this helps.

Hi,
The lower Screen usually takes all the force from the stylus, which eventually damages the actual screen itself.
Your best option, is to obtain a new lower screen. easier to replace than tthe top-screen.

It is probably the connectors connecting the screen to the bottom part where the CPU is. My portable Wii screen does the same thing. If you can live with it, your OK, but you might need a new DS. I recommend a DSi!

I had this happen to myself. It's a bad LCD. You could try smacking it gently a few times(with the DS off) to see if that re-seats anything loose inside but you're probably gonna have to call Nintendo.

When you power up, make sure you don't have a game in to the unit. When the Menu screen comes up, there should be an icon in the bottom left corner that looks like a sun. Pressing this icon should allow you to change the brightness setting.
Hope it works!

you need to replace the lower lcd,(not the touch screen) pick one up on ebay for $12.00

or for $40.00 have a repair person do it also on ebay under repair nintendo ds lite

Could be the back light.Probably need to replace it.They are reasonably cheap.

have you gone to the place were you got your DS from? if you have maybe you should try sending a letter or phoning the nintendo company

There should be either a button or a setting to adjust the lighting, try doing that.
