SO I took apart a DS Lite

[youruglyclone]

and when I put it back together, I power it up, the screen flickers and then the system shuts down.

so my question is...is there a proper way to reassemble it that I'm missing out on.

cause otherwise getting a replacement shell isn't going to happen unless I have it installed professionally.

What was wrong with it in the first place?

Those are a BITCH to work on. We do very little service to Lites.

Difficult to service, cheap to replace.

You likely have a super tiny ribbon cable not in quite right. Handle that tiny cable too much, and you will have a shredded little tiny cable. Have fun.

ds was dropped, so the top screen cable was shredded

ah thanks for the response, kinda spared me the next step of contacting you.

so the replacement case scene is a bit moot for me then.

Here's a well-done dissassembly video. I hope it helps you out:
