Should I Risk It???

So my DSLite is broke and i ordered a tri-gram screwdriver to open it. i would try to turn it on and the bottom screen flashes then it turns off automatically, so when i opened the console the orange ribbon from the top screen that connected to the bottom CPU was ripped in half, so heres the question should i go online and buy and new top screen $18 and a new shell for it (I could use a new shell) $20, or should i just buy a new one??? but im pretty sure its the top screen but im not 100% sure. should i risk buying a new top screen.

P.S. FYI my sound hasn't worked in a long time (includes headphone jack) and the L Button only work if i press it hard or if use a toothpick.

Thanks for the response i found a top screen on ebay. 15 bucks

In my opinion you shouldn't risk it. If there is a different part that isn't from the original ds it won't work as well so will just stop working again.

P.S. buy DSi!

i suggest to just get a DSi.

You shouldn't risk it,find out more details first before doing anything that you might regret.

You could enter your serial number at Nintendo's website and see if you can get it fixed while under warranty.

If your warranty is up, you should be able to send it in for $75 or get a new one shipped to you for $85.

It doesnt have warranty i bought it on ebay over a year ago. :(

I'll Rather have a DSlite cuz its cheaper in price and the dsi doesnt have gba compatibilty. quick question will a R4 work with the new dsi???
