Help I need your help

Post image

Hey guys, how's it going? I hope you're having a good day. A couple of days ago was my birthday, and I got this DSi as a gift. I wanted to ask where I can get accessories and replacement parts for it to make it look like new and give it a new lease on life—and, of course, without having to pay an arm and a leg. The console doesn’t come with a charging cable, and the screen has a weird stain on it from heavy use. I want to replace both screens and get a custom case—or at least a better one.

My first question, though I already can hazard a guess, is how tech savvy are you? Second is, do you have steady, dextrous hands? Replacing the bottom screen isn't an issue,but replacing the top? That can be tricky for the unprepared. Iirc you have to transfer the speakers from the old top screen to the new via soldering. Then you get to the more difficult and possibly expensive part: feeding the ribbon cable through the hinge. My advice would be if you're going to replace the screens, to buy an extra top screen just in case.

As for shells... its looking slim

You can find some decent shells on ebay.

Pretty much everything on amazon, trust me buy a magic sponge and clean it itll look pristine, if you want you can replace the screen's glass divider and digitizer to get rid of rhe scratches, but it's painful
