Rare, Broken Nintendo DSi – Only 8,000 Made – Let’s Fix It! I paid $1,000 for this rare, broken Nintendo DSi. The seller said the top screen was broken but… that wasn’t the only issue. Can I get it working again by replacing the defective parts? I sure hope so!

You was recording a video bro then why you take photos 🤣🤣
You sound a bit under the weather during this one, I get the feeling it was a bit of struggle. Thanks for another great upload, especially if you were poorly.
Good stuff man
Spicy Pillow. Nice.
This is so cool!
Made me so nervous removing that top case 😩… I used my spouses hair dryer to remove similar items and even that works well enough to get these items loose! Regardless, awesome video 😁
Have you ever considered using masking tape to keep the ribbon cables wrapped? It’s what I normally do so they stay together. Just a helpful tip
japanese DSi are the only ones that cant change language, u need to install cfw to be able to do it
thank you for using the correct terminology 'spicy pillow' haha. +1 for watching nick robinsons video and playing the software yourself it's fun
After just fixing the left & right trigger buttons on my dsi & 3ds I left the pain of trying to get the dsi bk together, they are so fidgety esp wen you got large fingers like me…..
3:08 would have been a perfect segway into sponsor read, since iFixIt (iirc) has repair guides and detailed instructions on disassembly and assembly.
Awesome!
Replacing top screens on Ds's (any model of DS or 3DS) is the most exhausting thing to do… such an hassle… but on the best handhelds ever made… it's always an odd feeling to repair theses
i did this as my first repair ever, before this video.
IT TOOK HOURS, never again XD
I remember having a DSI and was liquid damaged but after drying out started working again! sold it to half price books since I have a 2ds XL!
Nice job. You cant change language in japanese DSi. I had the same problem.
Please clear the confusion of placing the PS5 vertical, does it really shorten the life span of the device?
Just the right amount of thermal paste Steve
Awesome dedication, well done.
I wonder how long it takes to manufacture one these when you have done it hundreds of times
Getting that ribbon cable through the hinge is so frustrating I can hardly watch someone else do it.
I have been wanting to do this to my dsi and lite for so long. The touch screen on both are going bad. I just don't know if I have the patience to actually do this.
Love see you fixing stuff Steve, no matter what it is.. you always have me in awe.. have you ever worked on atari Lynx's??
Can you do a repair tutorial on how to replace the broken plastic clips from the ribbon cables?
(Dealing with some rn and its a pain…)
One of your videos popped up I'm my feed. Been binge watching them over the last week. Awesome work.
“Spicy pillow” 😂
That moment you want to skip the screen and use the stylus on your phone and not on the dsi🤣🤣🤣
Taking a picture of the cabling setup while recording a video, my man!
you cant change the language on a japanese console
I Fix It kits have picks so you dont have use your fingernails when removing screen covers.
It impresses me in how you can find all these rare consoles, the retro future is also very good at finding them. Love your work
I wanted to thank you.
After watching your videos it has drastically reduced my need to throw controllers and other peripherals against the wall like they deserve. Knowing that I do not have the equipment or skill to fix said items causes me to pause and not smash stuff in anger.
another master class….
A lot of money and a lot of work, you’re a psychopath lol
I don't understand how the screens on these get broken, other than abuse. It's a clamshell, if you dropped it hard enough to damage the screen it would also severely damage the case.
watching you doing this hinge ribbon cable thing gives me ptsd. 😆 Great Videos Man.
Looking at how the screen and ribbon cables assembled in DSi and how meticulous and tedious the job is, makes you AT LEAST wonder and appreciates how are the production operators in the Nintendo assembly line done them, right? I mean, how many UPH (Unit Per Hour) produced with this kind of setup.
I want to make something with 1000 flex cables and see you fix it.
I fricken hate replacing the top screen because of the terrible ribbon design that can be damaged with little to no effort during installation.
I would have loved to be there when you got it powered up. I probably could have helped with translation
Did that come with fries?

Two of my favorite YouTubers 🕺
Yay new video
You sounded a little ill in this vid, hope you're feeling better soon
Great video Streve! Thank you for the mention. Lets cook some burgers!
@tronicsfix hey I love your videos you have inspired me to start doing it myself. I just want to say thank you for what you do and entertaining me every day keep up the good work!
A true master of his craft. Reminds me of when the PS4 came out and I replaced the HDD on my own. I felt like king crap so I tried to put a Craigslist ad to replace other people's HDD. I got ZERO responses lol
Brave man! DSis are so brutal. Great repair!
I came from the cod3r channel thank you for sending him ps4 motherboard although he couldn't fix it but he did an interesting video on it
Loved Elliot's Video and love your video fixing it.
