There are three things wrong with my lite, and two of them i could fix easily.
1) the placeholder for the gba slot is missing
2) my charger is missing
3) When i try to take out a game from the ds slot, clicking it in takes a lot more force than usual. when i use the same amount that i usually do, the cart moves down, but theres no click, and it doesnt come out. Is there any way to fix this? Or should i just wait a week or two when i can just buy a new lite altogether?

Charger $12 GBA holder DOn't hink that's a priority, but about $5, does pushing down a little harder actually matter that much? $17 or $130 you decide.

The charger and cartridge you could buy them off ebay. I don't think the ds slot is such a problem that you will need a new one.

At least you could still play games so no worries.

If it works then no, deal with it. I'm sure you can find something else to spend your money on.

Well, the first two problems really have nothing to do with it's function as a whole, it's not like you'd have to take apart your ds in order to get your charger or the gba advance protection thing, actually they sell chargers pretty cheap, and I'm pretty positive they sell the gba protector thingies too, probably a lot cheaper than 130 bucks. As for the ds slot thing- that all depends on how annoying it is to you, I guess. If you have a warranty for it, or money to throw- then sure, get a new one... orrrrr, donate the money to me. ;P

Wtf....About an hour ago, the ds slot suddenly started working fine. Makes no sense to me.
anyway, i could buy a new charger for like $10, and the gba slot i could probably get for another 10 if i got some kind of starter pack with a ds carry case and such. Hell, i may even get one with a charger in it.

if you don't have a warranty keep it until it is useless
