you can always repair the top screen yourself if you want to, and if you are handy.

Maybe just buy a new one. It takes many weeks for Nintendo to send you a package to put your DS in, then many wekks to send it back, many weeks to fix it, and then many weeks to send it back to you.

If you cant do anything, but still want to play on a DS. Just get a Lite, there much better, because Nintendo charge a lot to fix one broken hinge.

The exact same thing happened to my DS Original. Hinge broke off, and top screen shows only white. Yeah, you should call Nintendo to see if they can replace it...that's IF you bought the warranty and it hasn't been 1 year yet. And isn't time for a new DS Lite? Just a suggestion, since a majority of us have a Lite.
