My little(and annoying) sister took a pen and scratched the bottom and top screens, I have removed the ink but the scratches are very visible, can I use this product:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000WUC7E/ref=pd_cp_hi_1?pf_rd_p=277661601&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0000WUC74&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0G7ED68RPCT32ARASYYQ
Will it work on the scratched Nintendo Ds lite screens?
Also, I saw this video about this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRUiN4aN43A

The Right Hinge( the one with the lights) is also cracked, so I'm buying a new shell

You may want to give nintendo a call since you have a cracked hinge. You might get lucky and they will give you a replacement. The cracked hinges are due to a design flaw.

First of all, learn to link properly. Here, I did it for you.

Second of all, cracked hinges don't have any effect on the DS at all. My hinge is cracked, but the DS still opens and closes like new, and it should only bother obsessive/compulsive people who simply can't live on "knowing that the crack is there." Your sister was careless with your DS, so Nintendo shouldn't have to replace anything. Be a good brother and do the right thing. Give your sister the scratched DS, and buy a new one for yourself. Then she won't feel compelled to play yours, and you can keep your DS in perfect condition. Life happens, and sometimes you have to deal with the consequences. You can't always depend on someone else to fix your situation, especially when it's your fault.

My hinge has broke off, It's not attached anymore which wont let me turn the screen, and it goes blank if you dont hold it at a certain angle. And besides I dont have the money to get ANOTHER Ds lite( which I saved 3 years for).

And I'm getting a new shell anyway.
AND HOW DO YOU LINK

Buying a set of HORI screen protectors might hide the scratches to an extent and turn your brightness up to the 3rd or 4th level. If they're deep scratches though, there isn't really anything that will fix that. The lesson to learn from this is don't let little kids around your expensive electronics. My brother's kid threw a ball of some kind at their brand new 50" plasma television and cracked it. They ended up selling it for cheap since there's nothing that could really be done to replace it. Be thankful you're not in that kind of situation. Also: I highly recommend against using any kind of solvents on the touch screen of your DS. You could end up with far bigger problems.
