Lower Screen on DS is broken and shattered?

My Lower Screen on my Nintendo DS is broken, and seems shattered from the inside. As if someone stepped on it. I haven't played with it, let alone looked at it in years. What parts are broken, and what parts will I need to fix it?

Update (03/20/2018)

It is actually a DS lite*

Hi @hahnuh ,

Hopefully only the lower LCD / touchscreen is the problem.

Here is a link to the ifixit Nintendo DS Lite Lower LCD Replacement guide. The guide also lists what tools are required to effect the repair.

Use this guide to inspect the rest of the device to see if there is any further damage to the device and then it is for you to decide whether a repair is worthwhile or not

Here is a link to suppliers of the replacement part. It is not a recommendation to use any of them. It is shown to give an idea of the cost of the part. There are other suppliers online that may suit you better. Just search for Nintendo DS Lite LCD replacement part.

Hopefully this is of some help.

EDIT: When or if you do get a replacemnet LCD, make sure it also contains the digitizer layer (the actual touch screen) in the matching color for your console because these can be really annoying to remove and reuse. They almost always irreversibly break upon removal.
