Both my top and bottom screen don't work when on there white

Both of my screens are white when I turn it on but I can still hear the noise it makes when I turn it on and I can still tap things but I can't see anything because my screens are both white. What should I do? I should also mention that I had it in my backpack and took it to school.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I've seen this happen to a few of my DS Lites I've been repairing. The LCD just starts to white out for some odd reason. With that, the "easiest" way to fix that is to replace it with another one from eBay (or other site). If you still have the DSi and would like to have it in working order again follow these guides, you will need some tools as well:

Tools: Tri-wing security screwdriver & '00' Phillips/Crosshead screwdriver

Due to the age of this post, if you've done something else to fix this, please let us know for future users. Thanks!
