    • Using the flat end of the spudger, pry the battery cable up off its socket on the motherboard.

    The battery connectors (socket) on the mother board are extremely fragile, so care should be taken to avoid breaking them.

    Other than this, the instructions given are precise and straighforward. I do agree with the other comments about step 20.

    • Remove the screws securing the motherboard to the upper case:

    • A single 2.5 mm silver Phillips screw

    • Four 3.7 mm black Phillips screws

    the battery connector was (for me) extremely hard to remove. I broke the socket completely off the board hand had to hard solder it directly back.

    Rohan Grant-Dawes - Responder

    On Step 17, I only had the 3 black Philips screws on the left to remove.

    • Deroute the microphone and antenna cables through the slot in the motherboard.

  19. Nintendo DSi XL Touchscreen Replacement: passo 19, imagem 1 %32 Nintendo DSi XL Touchscreen Replacement: passo 19, imagem 2 %32
    • Rotate the motherboard off the lower case.

    • The motherboard cannot be completely removed yet. It is still attached by the upper LCD's display data ribbon cable.

    • Using the flat end of a spudger, flip up the retaining flap on the upper display data cable ZIF connector.

    • With the pointed end of the spudger, pull the upper display data cable from its connector on the underside of the motherboard.

    • The motherboard is now free from the upper case.

    This step is unnecessary. The ribbon is a total pain in the butt to get back in, and if you dont get it PERFECT, the DS will not even fire back up. Unless it is absolutely necessary to remove it... DON'T !!! ( Personal experience, Everything else was SPOT ON) THANK YOU FOR THE HELP, saved me a lot of $$$

    Completed, worked perfectly! I agree with the comment about step 20, completely unnecessary.

    Fantastic! Fixed my daughter's irreplaceable DSi XL - you should see her smiles!! Not sure about step 20 I did this before reading the comments (guess there's a message there). Thanks so much whoever wrote this - you're a legend and you've made a child very happy (and a dad too thereby).

    I put mine back together for my daughter with the new bottom screen, but it won't power on. It tries but won't I'm assuming that this ribbon is the cause.

    bigdrum1998 - Responder

    The instructions are perfect though! Great thing to have these instructions it's a tremendous help! :-)

    bigdrum1998 - Responder

    YHWH is the god of all knowledge. Put a piece of transparent tape on the ribbon cable to give more leverage to pull the cable up to slide it into the slot. Also turn the motherboard slightly so that you can get it closer to the cable.

    Deanna Cortez - Responder

    I didn't get mine completely reinserted at first. The symptom I experienced when powering it back on is the power light comes on briefly and the bottom screen light flashes, then they both shut off. No flash from the upper display. Had to try reinserting 3 times before I had it in completely. I agree, DON'T REMOVE if you don't have to.

    bfmackin - Responder

    DONT follow this step, i missed these comments and removed my cable, it took me almost an hour (I know, way too long, I just couldn't get the cable far enough in to the slot) before the top screen finally worked. Was afraid I destroyed the cable, but it survived luckily enough.

    • With the console still upside-down, open the DSi XL slightly.

    • Push the lower display away from the upper case.

    • Remove the lower display from the DSi XL.

  22. Nintendo DSi XL Touchscreen Replacement, Lower LCD: passo 22, imagem 1 %32 Nintendo DSi XL Touchscreen Replacement, Lower LCD: passo 22, imagem 2 %32
    • Insert a spudger between the touchscreen and top right corner of the display.

    • Slide the spudger down the right side of the display to free the edge of the touchscreen.

    When removing the digitizer, note, there is an adhesive around the perimeter of the mating surface of digitizer-to-lcd screen (keeps dust out also). If your new screen or digitizer does not have one (mine didn't) try to be gentle when removing the digitizer to avoid damaging the adhesive. Work above or below the adhesive strip- whatever helps keep it intact with the component you aren't replacing but if it is too stuck on one side or another you can always peel it off the other component after the fact. DON'T STRETCH IT or it won't lay nicely.

    • With three sides freed, remove the touchscreen from the lower display.

    The plastic frame has to be removed from the old touchscreen, too. It's an adhesive. My new touchscreen didn't have one. When reattaching, insert the frame back into the DSi case first, then carefully drop the new touchscreen down on top of it to try to get it to line up correctly.

    Also, after everything was done, I had to run the touchscreen calibration in the DSi menu to get the touchscreen to work properly.

    bfmackin - Responder

    During re-install, when reattaching the digitizer it has to be on fairly precise otherwise the digitizer-LCD screen assembly will not fit into the "pocket" easily (won't sit all the way flush) therefore it is advisable to loosely attach the two pieces with the adhesive barely touching (to allow the pieces to slide slightly into the correct spot) or to instead install the digitizer by itself into the "pocket" then the LCD screen after (with the adhesive strip already attached to the LCD screen beforehand. Either way be careful not to get anything caught in this gap (hair, lint, fingerprints, etc) otherwise it may be annoyingly visible.

Great tutorial, I completely missed the fact that the lower screen is TWO screens: the touchscreen and the proper screen. Nailed it!!

Step 16 = whole socket came off the motherboard with the least amount of effort. Tried soldering new contacts but too fine. Device now only good for parts.
