I've been having a screen issue with my DS for the past 2 months, where lines appear towards the bottom of the screen that seem to reflect another part of the screen in a distorted manner, I've never dropped the thing and hardly ever play it. I called nintendo and they said I would have to pay 50 bucks to get it fixed which is ridiculous, it's less than a year old. Id sooner just ignore the problem sicne I hardly use it and not dish out that cash. The problem happens whether theres a game in or not. I was just curious if anyone knows anyone whos had a similar problem, posting it here since nintendo doesnt seem to have its own official forum anymore...See image for what I mean

That happen to me it started out with lines but then my top screen just went blank but if you say there just annoying mine was really really bad when it started. I eventually I had to pay the $50. Mine was from dropping it on carpet not even on hard ground just carpet.

Screen hasn't gone blank yet. This is what a warrentys for, they said after a year's past it will cost signifcantly more, more as in more than the 130 system price? Way to go nintendo, rackin in the big bucks reselling old games while Microsoft fixes their hardware and extends service, Nintendo customers are getting shafted.

something may have come loose inside, like a connector for the screen or something. if it becomes completely screwed, as in the screen going completely blank id open it up and see if theres any loose plugs/connecters.

If it hasn't been too long maybe you can exchange it where you bought it for a new one??
