Nintendo DS Repair San Diego
As an experienced center for Nintendo DS repair San Diego, we are aware of the main problems that cause your Nintendo DS to fail: the infamous hinge issue, which causes the Nintendo to lose its tension on the hinge/axis, the intermittent power problem, which results in the the Nintendo to power on and then immediately shut down, and when the LCD display (top or bottom) shows only a blank white screen. Here at our Nintendo DS repair center, we are experts at detecting them.
The hinge issue is by far the most popular – when they break, you are not able to notch the screen, and it will not stay in a fixed position. Lots of people apply momentary fixes such as putting a rubber band around the base of the screen, but the problem will still persist, and a rubber band will make your DS look considerably less appealing. Others attempt to replace the hinges themselves, but tampering with the product can void its original warranty, so, needless to say, this solution is not recommended.
The issue with the power occurs when the DS does not take charge. The LED usually flashes once, but when the charger is plugged in, the device goes off. Some have attempted to fix this problem by replacing the battery, but this will not solve the problem.
The third most common issue is a non-responsive LCD display. When this happens, either one of the two screens or both, will remain blank after the device is turned on. This is a more delicate issue, and any attempts to fix it at home can cause permanent damage to your Nintendo DS, so it is recommended that you take it to an expert who can properly diagnose and fix your broken Nintendo DS.
These are some of the main issues we have encountered:
- Touchscreen failure
