Broken ds??

The hinges broke on my ds just now and i was wonder if that is covered by nintendo and how long it takes to get replaced?corey81

My hinge is broken, but it doesn't affect my DS Lite at all. If you must have it replaced, then go ahead and incovenience wonderful company such as Nintendo, but ask yourself this: "What if your new hinge simply breaks again?" As longs as you get to play the wonderful catalogue of games available for the DS, consider yourself lucky. My broken hinge doesn't make Professor Layton boring, nor does it detract from the fact that Apollo Justice is a fantastic continuation of a great series. Accept the positive things in life, or else you will never realize just how good you have it. Make haste!

did u drop it? cuz if u did i'm not sure if you can get another one. i broke my hinge when i dropped my DS once and i called nintendo to try to get another one but they said that they don't cover physical damage, like dropping it. so you should give it a try anyways

I am of the opinion that, while I love Nintendo, they should replace broken hinges because the DS' that have them are lower quality products. That's why they come with warranties. And if they new hinge breaks again, I would be back on the phone with Nintendo, getting it fixed once again.

=D

I just recently broke my DS Lite's hinge after dropping it. I thought that I could do it myself and fix it and ended up breaking it even further. I decided to get it professionally done so I searched online and found videogame911.com . They estimated my system within 24 hours and I had it back in that same week. I recommend them for any DS repairs.elementality24

Anyways, it might depend on who you talk to. Someone else at nintendo might say hinge cracks are under the warranty.
