Don't forget to check out PCBWay at www.pcbway.com for all your PCB printing needs! Following up on the 30 DS consoles I fixed a few months ago, was it worth the time and effort or not? Does anyone still buy these things in 2024? Lets take a look how it went!

Great video. Small question regarding the digitizers. I heard that some third party digitizers have a different texture or a yellowish hue to them. Where did you buy yours? Any recommendations? Thanks

I've never seen the digitizers have a yellow hue but I do agree they feel different sometimes. You can tell when using the stylus is doesn't feel as smooth, but they do work. I always put parts used in the video description but here are the lite digitizers s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DmT8Ky9

I brought many DS Lites and DS i a few years back. Just found them a few of them either had the bad broken top hinge or don't turn on. I didn't want to waste time fixing them up so sold them in a lot as parts/repairs. Should have kept them to learn how to repair them. Looking at your chart, you did get them cheaper than what I seen broken especially most of the time the buyer also need to pay S&H. And you also got them sold for higher prices then what I seen got sold. Factor in the equipment and time for a newbie like me to fix it and the profit goes way down.

yeah prices for broken ones these days are getting to high, they were much cheaper pre covid. same for parts costs aswell. Its a good feeling when you get them fixed tho
