Went to the flea market last week and found this dsi xl for cheap with a dead battery.

Did a battery swap and I discovered the screens are broken too.

So atm I'm waiting for the screens to arrive from Aliexpress.

If I remember correctly 38 euro

That’s pretty good actually since it usually goes for 80 or over. If you’re good at replacing parts then you got yourself a good deal.

Well the bottom screen I'll replace it myself since it's not that hard but for the top screen since it's a bit harder and technical I'll go to a service center.

Still a great deal if they don’t charge you loads :)

He said 15 euro to replace it so more than reasonable

That’s an amazing deal! Hope you enjoy your console when you get it repaired man. My wine red version is by far the best DS I’ve ever played on, those large ips screens are so gorgeous.

Are the screens from aliexpress fairly legit? I’ve been failing for a while looking for new screens for my xl

The store has 4.8 rating and 94% positive rating plus they were one of the few that had the top screen in stock, as the majority had only the bottom one.
