Hinge on the right is broken, is there any way to fix?
Hi, I have an original first-generation DS exactly like the one in the photo, except the hinge on the right hand side underneath the top screen is broken. Is there any way to just fix the hinge or would I have to replace the whole top LCD screen?

I haven't taken apart an original DS, but I have taken apart DS Lite's, XL's, DSi, etc. If Im not mistaken, the hinges are each separate parts which could be replaced individually. If the DS is out of warranty, you might want to consider a DIY approach and investigate further =)
Yeah, it's certainly out of warranty. I got it as a gift a while back when the DS first came out, so it's like one of the oldest models.
Ryan,
Well in that case, I would recommend opening up the device and replacing the hinge. You can use this Top LCD guide as a walkthrough to gain access to the hinge.
I guess no one has any ideas...
