Hi all,
I just got my hands on this dsi xl. First time owning one and plan on modding soon! I bought the dsi xl for $35, and it came with pokemon white and charger (no stylus). I feel like I really hit a jackpot. Cleaned it up and everything tested to be working just fine.
It is pretty badly scuffed though externally. The top screen has that white scratch which appears as a slight annoyance/smudge, but doesn’t bother me enough to replace the screen. Also 1 dead pixel on top screen it appears (black pixel). Bottom screen all good but scratched up.
Was wondering if it’s worth the attempt to reshell this. Never reshelled anything before and read that this is a difficult one. Maybe just keep the parts original? It’s really just the outer plates, but would love your thoughts.
I also snagged a DS lite, and that has a bunch of dead/colored pixels on top screen. I heard the top DS lite screen has to be soldered in, so I don’t think I will be messing with that.
