Ok here's the deal: I've been using my DSLite more than before to finish Mario and Luigie Bowser's Inside Story. The game uses the touch screen in many ocations like scratching the screen and so on; but now after inspecting the screen i notice it have some light scrathces ( Like 3) on it. Before this i wasn't using the touch screen at all. I tought they were caused by my Memorex Microfiber Cloth but now after looking at the top screen i noticed that it doesn't have a single light scratch, it is only on the touch screen.

I don't know for surre but i thing that maybe it's the stylus or that happened for normal use. I have checked the stylus and it doesn't seems to be broker or anything.

That is perfectly normal for a touch screen.

After using it a lot and doing scratching movements there will be some marks. i have a couple on my screen as well, barely visable but they are still there.

as long as your ds is still working then i dont think you did anything wrong

That's what i've been thinking. I may need to get some screen protectors. No i am the only one who uses the DSLite, It was 100% scratch free because i wasn't using it and the touch screen plastic cover was replace with a new one from Nintendo long ago.

Nope the stylus seems ok, doesn't feels broken. I thought of getting a brand new one just to make sure it isn't the problem but so far it seems the stylus is not the damaged. Wow a single stylus from Nintendo cost $3.75 plus $5.00 of shipping when ordering from theirs store.

Well technically speaking, dust can be made up of all sorts of things including dirt and other abrasives. If you had a piece caught under your stylus when you used it, you mighta been scratching your screen.

I always make sure there's nothing on the tip of the stylus or screen.

Do you guys think it could be my Memorex Microfiber Cloth? It is clean and without particles of any kind on it.
