Turns on only when you hold it in the right position.

My friends DS Lite is kinds weird as when he try to turn it on just bottom or both screens will flash then shut down. Some time he could make it turn on to the main bit and load the game if hes really lucky but eventually it will just turn off.

He said the cause could have been when he dropped it at school.

There no visual damage to it like dents so I guessed there something messed up with the motherboard or something broken.

Ill try open it up and get an picture of it, if that help.

Thanks

Screens need to be re-plugged to the motherboard.Flashing screens means a screen is not connected(actually the backlight)

Thanks for replaying Aricado =P

the screen does flash but only the bottom one now. the top screen seems completely dead, no flash nothing i read this thread https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=19161.0 by Marioparty but it had nothing on the screen not turning on.

So the case is that i have to replug the bottom screen but im guessing by a completely new screen for him?

Oh btw, i got the ds lite off him today maybe tomorrow im going to open it up and post them up if it helps.

You shouldn't need to buy a new screen. As long as both of them are plugged in properly you shouldn't have a problem.
