Black DS lite. Only problem is the scratches on the touch screen.

Mine is exactly this.

My DS is still in good condition, but I just got it in July.

Do you own THREE?!?

wow...

My red original DS is full of greasy fingerprints, but it still works smoothly

My original DS used to be completely fine, until about three months ago when I dropped it and the small hinge cracked off. Then about last month, my top screen won't display anything. If I tweak the part where the small hinge used to be, I can sometimes see the top screen fine, but if I don't hold it in place, it starts to fade away as a still screen. (Why does it have to be me? My brother's stuff still works fine! And why do I have to drop it in the bathroom of all places!?!)

Other than that, my L button's a bit sketchy, but it still works.

Gave my brother my old DS when I got my Lite, then my Lite's touch screen got messed up (the crack doesn't do anything. I'm not joking, I actually miss seeing that crack on the hinge because I bonded with it. So deep, so touching, so benign...) so I got a new one and gave my brother my Lite (he ended up breaking the old DS somehow, the top screen had a giant crack inside the screens). He ended up breaking the DS Lite as well (this time he got pissed and smashed the top screen with his stylus).

Probably gonna get a DSi though. Depends on where I'm at in my life when it comes out.

Hmm.. My DS is in very good condition right now, even after a few plenty of times it has been dropped so far, props to my Robo guard armor accesory. (To prevent anyone else's DS lite from breaking apart when falling, buy this fabulous product)

So far, no hinge breaks. but my DS Bulk's touch screen stopped working.

I've got a DS Lite, dropped it several times by accident, and the only problem i've got is dust on the screen.

Ephidiel · **Reply #33 on:** November 13, 2008, 04:33:03 PM

R and L Button are not working right anymore
it fell down thrice and the R button got problems
it fell down three more times and the L button also stopped working proberly

Just wanted to bring up that if you have an older DS lite and you're having problems with the shoulder buttons... specifically the R button, it's due to the awkward size of the motherboard. Newer models shouldn't have this problem. One way to easily tell if you have this is if your R button doesn't make a click sound like the L button. If it doesn't, see if Nintendo will replace it. I can't say if they will charge you or not since I had mine fix while it was still in warranty, so best to call ahead.

This has been an STM PSA.

i bought this DSLite when it was first released i guess its the motherboard of the DSlite
since i'm planning to buy the DSi it doesn't matter if its broken i will still get enough money from ebay for it

Police Girl · **Reply #36 on:** November 13, 2008, 10:47:07 PM

How is it that the L and R buttons are apparently the worst built buttons on the DS Lite? I still can't believe those things break, my GBA survived many drops on the ground, DS Lite as well, they both work perfectly.

Ephidiel · **Reply #37 on:** November 13, 2008, 10:54:29 PM

my GBA fell into the bathtub full of water and is still working fine

Police Girl · **Reply #38 on:** November 13, 2008, 10:56:42 PM

My friends was thrown in the toilet, then the L and R buttons stopped worrking.

Ephidiel · **Reply #39 on:** November 13, 2008, 10:59:21 PM

the fact that my GBA was still on and the game could be played after i got it out of the water wondered me most
i bet if the DS would fall into water it would completly break down.

Mirby · **Reply #40 on:** November 17, 2008, 12:01:18 AM

My screens are dirty, and I constantly lose my stylus, but other than that it works great!

Asvel · **Reply #41 on:** November 17, 2008, 12:08:38 AM

In perfect condition, basically, aside from a bit of wear on those stickers on the back, a bit of shine around the buttons from extensive use, and a small factory defect in the bottom left corner of the top screen.

HyperSonicEXE · **Reply #42 on:** November 18, 2008, 02:28:05 AM

It's not the hinges that worry me.

It's got some scratches, fingerprints everywhere, and that L-Button has already tried to give out a couple of times.
...maybe I should get a DSi. I dunno, though...

Mirby · **Reply #43 on:** November 18, 2008, 09:19:22 PM

Wow, so I'm not the only one with L-Button trouble...

Flok · **Reply #44 on:** November 20, 2008, 12:23:48 PM

But the problem is that the DSI sucks so hard at the moment for not having a very handy GBA slot.

Guess I will eventually buy it, if I feel like it!
