One from Two: Reviving a Nintendo DS Lite
Table of Contents
I took two broken Nintendo DS Lite consoles and made one that works. It was my first try at fixing electronics, and it worked!
The Problem#
My old Nintendo DS Lite had been broken since I was a kid. I wanted to fix it, but I didn’t know how.
How I Fixed It#
-
Getting Parts: I bought another broken Nintendo DS Lite cheap. It had different problems from mine.
-
Mixing Parts: I opened up both Nintendo DS Lites. I figured out which parts still worked in each one.
-
Soldering: The hardest part was soldering a tiny switch. I didn’t have the right tools, but I tried anyway.
-
Putting It Back Together: After soldering, I put all the working parts into one Nintendo DS Lite.
What Happened#
To my surprise, it worked! When I turned it on and saw it working, I felt really excited. I couldn’t believe I had fixed it on my first try.
This project taught me that it’s fun to fix old stuff. Sometimes, giving it a try can lead to great results, even if you’re not an expert.
Pictures#
Here are some photos from when I was fixing it:
