One from Two: Reviving a Nintendo DS Lite

The Problem

My old Nintendo DS Lite had been broken since I was a kid. I wanted to fix it, but I didn’t know how.

How I Fixed It

1. Getting Parts: I bought another broken Nintendo DS Lite cheap. It had different problems from mine.

2. Mixing Parts: I opened up both Nintendo DS Lites. I figured out which parts still worked in each one.

3. Soldering: The hardest part was soldering a tiny switch. I didn’t have the right tools, but I tried anyway.

4. Putting It Back Together: After soldering, I put all the working parts into one Nintendo DS Lite.

What Happened

To my surprise, it worked! When I turned it on and saw it working, I felt really excited. I couldn’t believe I had fixed it on my first try.
