My dsi has been sitting not being used for a few years now, i recently booted it up because i want to get my old pictures off of it. I turn it on and can get past the first "touch screen to start" screen but after that i can't navigate or anything, shoulder buttons still work because a popup shows up when i click them.
Is this a good question?

Hi!
Based on the comments, I’ll write an answer.
It does look like that the touchscreen failed and need a replacement!
Guide: Nintendo DSi Touchscreen Replacement
It’s not very difficult to do this!
Please let us know how it goes!
Was this answer helpful?
alright thanks, i had to do this with my wiiU so i have a bit of experience already, if thats the only problem that would be amazing i'll let you know
Good luck with the repair! Please let me know how it goes :)! Thanks!
what a shame, i replaced the touch screen and it's still unresponsive. thanks for the suggestion though
That is strange. Then it's either in the software or something is broken on the motherboard it self. Are you sure the ribbon cable is all connected fine (all the way in)??

Yeah, if it’s complete frozen in the menu, you can try a safe boot and try to update the system. This may work sometimes!!
