Okay, so this is only technically a mod but that still counts! My DS Lite had a broken left hinge. Other than the fact that it felt like it would break in two at any given moment it worked just fine. Since I'm so cheap I set out on the internet to find a solution. There are several different sources for replacement shells and hinges. Also you'll need a special triwing screwdriver for the 50 million funky screws throughout the DS construction. I bought a hinge+triwing and a case on ebay all together for about twenty bucks. Not bad. I watched a few youtube videos and got my self taught Ph.D. in DS repair...two hours later...I finally got it all together and nada. I had done something wrong and bricked it. Disgusted with myself I went to bed. The following day I tried again by simply dissecting and reassembling it again. Second time around it only took about twenty minutes. By golly it worked! Thank goodness for youtube and never giving up.
