Title: DS Lite touch screen ribbon cable connector broken (Large one)
Post by: zombiebaconchez on September 30, 2009, 04:51:10 PM: Long time reader, first time poster.
Unfortunately, my fat fingers have broken the connector on the bottom touch screen. Came cleanly off the board. I have seen the replacements, but wanted to know if anyone has done this out there. I've replaced power switches, slot 1 and shoulder button switches, but this seems like it might be out of my realm. I'm probably going to have to buy a huge magnifying glass for this one as well. (Pictures, videos would be great)
Thanks all for your time,
Zombiebaconchez
