whenever I play bleach on my ds, the screen looks fine. But when I lift the top screen a little bit, the picture gets all messed up. there are colorful lines that fill the screen, and when I put the screen back down, it's fine again. I'm not sure whether its my ds fault or the game. I have a cracked hinge; does that affect anything? help me!
If my ds is on, but closed and I open it there might be a few red and green dots on the top screen, but I think that's normal. Do your lines stay on the screen because my dots disappear as soon as the image comes up

Nintendo's warranty does not go by how many units you've gone through. It's based from the time they send out a replacement unit. You should have a one year warranty on the second unit that started when they sent it out to you. As long as it hasnt been a year then you're covered. The real downside to sending it back in is your loss of friend codes. This is because they wont send your unit. Instead the send you a refurbished unit. All friend codes are based on the game + the serial number of the DS it'self. That being thecase, would mean you have to getresend all of your friend codes to your friends.
Your problem sounds like a lose ribbon cable to the top screen (sort of common on the first run of the DS Lite). I could explain to you on how to fix it, but if your asking whats wrong then the answer would be a bit long winded, esoteric, and problematic all rolled into one answer. Your best bet would be to send it in for a fix. If it's past the one year warranty then Nintendo will charge $50 for the service.
is there anyway to get rid of scratchs on the bottem screen. Its really bad and I already been to a video game trader and they said there was nothing they could do .
The cracked hinge might have something to do with it, but I don't know, I don't have a cracked hinge. Also, I only get colourful lines if I put pressure directly on the top screen
