Best DS Lite Touch Screen Replacement?

[platinumsoldier]

Hey, I want to replace my touch screen for my DS Lite and I saw some cheap replacements on Ebay. I was just wondering if this was a good screen replacement for the DS? Also, is it difficult to replace the screen yourself?

It's not too bad if you're not too clumsy and have some dexterity. The little ribbon cables connecting the LCD is pretty small (there were two, I believe, and one's only about 3 mm wide). I took a DS lite apart and replaced the motherboard with no problems, however.

When I replaced the action buttons on my PSP however, the right shoulder button was no longer responsive, and I left a negative feedback to the seller on ebay after trying to contact him first, and I got no reply before nor after. So I'd try to get an official working part from a DS that was taken apart over a cheap Asian knock-off / generic screen.

*edit* Oh, and you will need a special screw driver, the tri- something. Those you can get generic, often comes with a small phillips head screw driver too, which you will also need if you don't already have. I'd recommend a small flat screw driver as well, because it helps in opening the clip that holds the ribbons.

Ok, thanks for your advice. I ended up getting this one for really cheap, it comes with all the tools and the official touch screen.
