Forums - Nintendo - My sons DS only plays Gameboy advance games now?

If I were your son, I'd hate you so much right now.

I've taken apart Nes's, PS1's, PS2's, and Xbox 360's but I wouldn't dream of opening a DS. I think you're screwed. If it's any consolation, 3DS consoles are pretty affordable right now.....

You probably damaged the solder for the slot-1.
It's probably cheaper to just buy a new one than try to fix it.

No I took apart my older sons DSXL and fixed the screen, but I will not touch this as I don't know what is wrong with it. The internet has pretty good instructions on taking the DS apart and fixing it, and surprisingly unlike nintendo's other consoles it is pretty easy.


Sometimes, my reading comprehension sucks.  Well then, if I were your older son, I'd love you so much right now!

Thanks! That just gave me the courage to take my younger sons apart and see if something is loose!

Oh man this sounds so wrong
