DS game is inserted and the system turns on, the top screen does not show 
any graphics. It is just a white screen or a screen with a bunch of little

fix this? Do you think a ribbon cable has gone bad from where he played it 
with broken hinges? Or, maybe replace the screen? Thanks for any advice 
yall may have.

$40-50 & that is half the price of a new unit. Repair also depends on ur  
skills with electronics.
