super glue works well!!!!!

It's so weird the same thing happened to me. Bought it last july, hinge cracked july this year.I got the warranty on it though. Still waiting for it to come back.

They have a open close mechanism that counts 365 open and closses. So that if a person closses it and opens it once per day it will break and they will miss their expoirey date. I always knew they were up to no good!garyisthebest

geez, I open and close mine like 10 times a day sometimes

OMG!!!!! same thing happend to me.. look at this.. not even funny... here pic of my ds

oh yeah.. i super glue mine.. although sometime it gets off.. i super glue it again... thinking of geting a replacement shell...

Big question here...

What is up with all the DS-Lite-hinge-crack topics? I don't understand how and\or why this is happening to so many people. I have had my original DS since the DS was released in the US. I use it almost everyday, and often multiple times a day. Other than some scratches on the case, no problems ever. Why is there some hinge problem with the lite?

If you were to send it to Nintendo they'd probably blame it on the flash cart XD

I've had my DS Lite since last June. I use it at least once a day, have gone on quite a few trips with it, and I am not having problems with anything. Couple scratches on the top, but it's fine otherwise.

same thing happend to mine. got it replaced for free from nintendo. the same thing is happening to my cousins ds lite. his warranty is up so i told him if it does result in this which it will just buy a replacement shell off the internet. they cost anywhere from 10 to 40 canadian and most sets come with the screw driver and stuff you just have to do the work yourself which isnt that complicated.

Wow, quite a lot of peoples hinges seem to be broken exactly the same way the guys pictures are.

Now i'm not sure if I want a Nintendo DS Lite, because if there's this many people having this problem, I might just buy a Original Nintendo DS..

My original Nintedod DS ("Phat") has not encountered this problem at all and i've had it for a very very long time. Buying another Original Nintendo DS, i'm guessing then.

My old DS Phat snapped at one of the hinges. My 2.5 year old did the deed. Some brush on Krazy glue...now it's as it was before he broke it.

Yes...I tried to keep him from the DS, but how can you discourage a 2.5 year old gamer? lol.

Try using contact cement as opposed to super glue, it should hold longer

Too bad for all of you I had my DS for three years and it works perfectly!! I think the DS original has better defense than the light but th light has a better screen than the ds THREE YEARS!! :D

are you sure you're not being rough with it?

I had my original ds for about twoyears and I treated it so bad I always open and close it really hard banged it and other horrible things but it works just fine ,still there are little scratches and my teeth marked on itItach123

You....You....You bit into your DS?

But how did you get the crack anyway? Did you open your ds more than the hinge allowed?

I mean i treat mine very carefully and never dropped it once

Dang I was thinking of replacing my ds phat for a ds lite but this sort of turned me off...

I mean, the other day I was charging my ds (phat) and i tripped on the wire...It flew up and was smashed against the wall and fell on the floor.I had no problem, not even a scratch O_o

well..last summer..at exactly august 3rd..i bought the white ds lite. On july 4th of this year i got a tiny crack on the hinge and thought..i might call nintendo and see if they can repair it. Well i went on vacation with it and it held up so..i decided to just ignore the crack. Well at exactly august 4th..my ds lite cracked and the top half of the ds isnt stable. it pissed me off. So i called nintendo and of course my warrentty is 1 day off and they said with that damage they can fix it for 100 plus shipping. wtf....might as well buy a new ds lite.. So i decided..lets try super glue. I spent about 3 hours working on it and now it works perfectly fine ..nothing sticks or anything. so..o well..does anyone else think that was kinda weird price???..i mean..i might as well super glue it and if it doesnt work..buy a new ds..ok..ok..i just thought i would get ur opinons on it..ianp_91

Good for you. (not meant in a harsh manner)

with how much money nintendo has made off of the ds and the wii they shouldnt be such stingy jerks with their defective products.Jedi_of_Hyrule
