Oh crap! My DS!...

« on: May 03, 2007, 12:41:31 PM »

Ok, so today I took my DS (not Lite) out of my backpack, only to discover that one of the hinges had cracked. The DS is still fully functional, but the top screen is askew. Luckily, I still have the broken piece and it looks repairable, but I need your guys help. Do you think its time to retire my old DS and get a DS Lite? Or should I try fixing my DS?

I'm torn. HELP!

Well, you should just get a Lite, seeing as they are much better than the original, but that's just my thought.

If you've purchased your DS within a year from now (You had to purchase it sometime after May 3rd 2006) you can send it in for repairs.

Ok, well then just wait and go with the Lite. You said it is functional, so I'm sure you can live with it for a month.

What I'm going to try to do is superglue the piece back onto the hinge and let it dry for 3 days, an see if it worked.

I can make about $400 U.S. in about 2 weeks, but by working 80 hours, which is pretty bad.

You guess? The only people I know who makes that much money in that little time, sell their bodies off to strangers who urinate all over them.

And did you ever try calling Nintendo? With their reputation for good customer service, maybe you can bull crap a story and get help from them?

I doubt I could pull it off. It wasn't my fault in the first place, and I have ethics. Its a good idea, but my DS is too old to be cvered by warranty.

My job pays 25 an hour, for the amt of work I do (per hour), its no that much...

I do absolutely nothing. Probably stock for 5 minutes every hour, sit behind the register, or just randomly walk around the store looking for something to do.
