DS won't calibrate correctly on one side of the screen.

Hi! I've recently switched out the bottom screen of my DS because it was dying. The replacement screen however seems weird. Input is a lot to the left although I touch somewhere on the right. Calibration isn't working properly and only lets me go round and round for eternity unless I misinput on the bottom right point or entirely, but that's not the point of the calibration.

The left two points are always rightly calibrated, but the right ones are either very far to the left or to the right. The screen and rims are clean. Can someone help? I don't want to waste any more hours on the calibration screen :(

Answer this question I have this problem too

In case the question pops up - no cables are damaged or falsely connected, connectors are also all clean. I've taken my DS at least 20 times apart just to see what the issue is and I'm getting more and more frustrated :(

By "bottom screen" do you mean the LCD, digitizer, or both? If you only swapped one, check that the digitizer is properly aligned with the LCD. It's a long shot, but the other cause would most likely be a bad digitizer, so I'd say it's worth checking. If it's aligned and the problem persists, you'll probably need to replace the digitizer

I meant the digitizer, sorry! It's 100% correctly aligned. I've swapped both just to be safe. Am getting a replacement digi, hope it'll be fixed, if not I'LL cry
