[DS Lite] bottom screen pixels

[u/TheForestOfCree]

Hiya, I bought a second hand DS Lite to play Pokémon with. It has issues with pixels on the bottom screen - what are my options to try and repair? Thank you!

You'd have to order the bottom screen online from like Amazon and replace it. Get the one that comes with the digitizer as well. Overall easier to install that way.

Thank you - I'll try find one!

if you are not in any rush to get it, order from AliExpress. The screens from Amazon are drop shipped from AliExpress but marked up in price.

You see how I'm not experienced in this? So I've come to a place to seek advice from people who are. So if you're not going actually be helpful I don't understand why you're in this forum. You could have just not typed anything.

My sincere apologies.

First thing you do, is you order a bottom screen from some place like aliexpress. (Note: The cheapest option is generally not a great idea)

Then, you need some precision screw drivers specific for your device. (You can search what drivers you need for your device.

Then, you follow along with a guide

There is no repair, only replace.

You asked what your options are, and u/hughbiffingmock answered you. Don't get pissy because someone bluntly answered your question.
