There is one thing that I DO want to say before I begin:
I know you people are going to complain and claim "the blog tree." And y'know something? I don't care. It's my thread and I'm going to say what I wish. Either follow along with my progress and post appropriately, or get out. I WILL report you if you don't follow this simple request. As I'm sure some are, I'm FED UP with this mindset that such posts are "bringing TBT down." Thank you for your time.

Anyway, I surfing the web one night, and my little brother called me into our room. I walk in and what do I find?
My little sister -- holding her DS in this condition:
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">
</div>
I don't know how in the hell my little sister was able to damage it this bad, but she apparently did. Honestly, I couldn't help but laugh. But in the midst of it, my first instinct was to call Nintendo. But given the fact that it was late at night, I decided that I would do it the next morning.
That morning, I called up Nintendo and told the rep what had happened. As I had expected, I was told that I would have to pay 85 bucks for them to repair it. I politely declined and hung up.
So I put the wreckage down and took a good look at it. I was pretty sure that there was still some hope left for it. There had to be a cheaper alternative. That's when it dawned on me -- I could repair it myself. HOWEVER, I knew that I hadn't done something like this before. I've never had to actually take things apart and actually get my hands dirty. But seeing the top screen hanging off by that ribbon cable... I just couldn't let this chance pass by.
So with this in mind, I decided to try and keep... a sort of log of my progress. And that's what this thread is for. I hope you guys will enjoy my findings. I know I will.
