How To Replace A Broken Case On A Nintendo DSi

I have carried out a case replacement on a friends child's Nintendo DSi which had a broken hinge and possibly damaged cables.

So I video'd it to let people see how it can be done with some low-cost tools, patience and a smattering of knowledge.  The entire videos takes 14.5 mins and given most watchers span is considerably less than this for How To videos, I've split it up into seven pieces, that seven fixed1t YouTube videos. Here are the links:

I hope some of you find this useful.  I'll be creating a full fifteen minute single version tomorrow.  As with all repairs I take no responsibility for anything you do, do not under any circumstances work on a unit with the mains adapter plugged in and do not short circuit the battery.

Cases are available on eBay

Please check out the videos and given them a like if they are helpful.
