Replace your Nintendo DS Lite Shell

Step 5Finishing Touches

Finishing Touches
After screwing the bottom cover on, place your rubber feet over the two screw holes, peel off the cellophane from the top screen, place your battery in, fire up some Mario Kart, and enjoy your new, beautiful Nintendo DS lite housing!

I hope this instructable helps everyone trying to replace their housing! If you go through the process and find anything I missed, let me know and I can add it in! Take your time and good luck!

I finished, but when i turn on the unit, the screen just flashes once. Did I fry the unit? Is there anything I can do?

Excellent guide, would be lost without it, couple of tips, check the button springs as they are handed, left and right otherwise you will struggle forever to keep the buttons on, also when putting the covers back on don't do what i did and try and force it otherwise you will break something like the on/off switch and make the DS completely useless.Thankyou for this guide!
