Hi, i was trying to repair my old ds. It had broken shell but it was working. after changing the shell both screens are bright white. Sound seems to be working because i can hear the boot sound,even the buttons when pressed. My speculation is that in the process of shell swap i may damaged the ribbon cable that connects top to bottom screens, but have you faced a similar situation? How did you solve it?
DS (ntr-003) both screens white but sound is working

The main ribbon cable connects the motherboard to the top screen interface board, the top screen has 2 ribbons cables which are then then plugged into the top screen interface board.
If the main ribbon cable was damaged your bottom screen would still be working rather than both screens being blank.
I would guess that you have probably just not got the ribbon cables on both screens connected properly, if it's the first shell swap you have done it can be pretty fiddly, you have to make sure the ribbons are in straight before fastening them.

Probably, your ribbon cables are not connected all the way in.
I've had this issue with DS Lite(s) and it's usually that I didn't pushed the cables all the way in.
If there were a problem with the cables themselves the DS would shut down with a POP! as it's designed to do so if one screen fails.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
