DS Doesnt Turn on

[psp339]

My DS doesnt turn on after i put it back together! The green power light flashes for 1 sec then turns on off.  plz

[MARIOPARTY53]

maybe the top screan ribbon isnt in all the way, or you blew a fuse

[Timmy]

do both of the screens flash when you turn it on?

[psp339]

only bottom screen flashes once then turns off. i did not solder anything and this is a ds phat if that helps.

[MARIOPARTY53]

your ribbon is most likly not all the way in

[psp339]

and the left hinge i cant put back into place. im gonna take it apart and take a look again now.
EDIT: now it turns on but the bottom screen does not work... a bunch on verticle lines show up.

(nods head) I dont know know what wrong, I never really handled a phat ds befor

Mario, it's the same  as the lite but easier . Anyway, If it's showing lines like that, then either the ribbon is either cut/bent too much to fix, or it's not in completely. Take it apart again, and check that the ribbon has ZERO cuts and/or bends. If it has any, then you pretty much need a new bottom screen. If not, then go ahead and try to re insert the ribbon cables.

Make sure your ribbon on the bottom screen is pushed in all the way like seikene said, that most likely is your problem

[psp339]

omg it works thanks guy now i need a new hinge...the left one is not inserted. and i think i broke the little thing that goes in.

[seikene]

=D enjoy! Ermm, do you mean the deattachable piece that goes in with one screw? Just buy a whole new case if your hinge is broken. Trust me, it ain't worth having it weaker and more suceptible to breaking through the ribbon cable or the weakended hinge itself.

[psp339]

i mean the thing u insert into the case is broken...the case has no damage.

[seikene]

Oh then try to find that piece, because it still can get messed up if anyone or anything pokes the cable that stick out of there, or the black one (wifi and speaker board), plus it doesn't look complete w/o it :P

[psp339]

i have the piece but it just doesnt go in right. i try to push it in but it just doesnt fit.

[seikene]

I had that same trouble. Try to open your DS up and put it in there, since it requires a screw to stay in place. The cable will keep blocking the piece from locking, so it has to be moved a bit, and you will need like a long, skinny, magnetic phillips screwdriver.

i also have the same problem. My ds shutsdown when i turn it on and only the bottom screen turns on for a sec. it fell down once and has a broken hinge. I did what you guys recommended but still no work. im a noob with ds's so can any one help. how do i know when the ribbons are all the way in?

[sakobatoneko]

never mind i figured out that it wasnt completely in. i fixed the problem

[psp339]

i still need help on how to put the hinge back in...
