anyone ever have any DS lite problems? i think i do now
my top scren image distorts when i tilt the screen. if i put the top screen straight up the image is distorted. if i put it all the way flat back then the image is fine. I was wondering does the ds do that or is it maybe a prob with my screen?
if so i'm calling nintendo. i had my ds lite since launch and just noticed the problem. oh and i never play games that way, i just tried it and noticed this issue.
plus doesnt nintendo just give you a new system instead of actually repairing your old one when you ship them your old one in the box they send ya?
*edit* sorry will someone put this in the game forum, i had to windows opened up and didn't notice.

Nintendo is usually very good about customer service/repairs and if yours is still covered under a warranty, which it should still be, then all should be taken care of.
The silver cube that I got from ebay had some problems when I got it, it would freeze and an a error message would pop up after five minutes, and they fixed it no problem and even offered free shipping through kinko's.
That being said, I have owned both a ds and a ds lite without any problems whatsoever. For some reason, though, the lite seems to go through batteries quickier if you turn the brightness up; or at least mine does.

I hope i'm just misunderstanding what you said.. but it would make sense for the batteries to drain faster with a brighter light, would it not?Smiley wrote:That being said, I have owned both a ds and a ds lite without any problems whatsoever.

I read Smiley's post about three times, just to give him the benefit of the doubt.Mr. Jeeba wrote:MrSiggler wrote:I hope i'm just misunderstanding what you said.. but it would make sense for the batteries to drain faster with a brighter light, would it not?Smiley wrote:That being said, I have owned both a ds and a ds lite without any problems whatsoever.

That benefit of the doubt being that he's not retarded.
But, alas, it would appear that he is hopelessly dumb.
Very sexy hero, omg

Usually, the guy on the phone will give you two options:gamedudex2 wrote:plus doesnt nintendo just give you a new system instead of actually repairing your old one when you ship them your old one in the box they send ya?
1. You can either send yours in and have them fix it and send it back, or
2. They can send you a "new" (refurb'ed) unit immediately, and you use that box to send yours back to them, which they will then refurbish and resell.
Either way works. The purpose of the second option is so that you don't have to spend any time without your system (and since you get the replacement first, you can transfer your user data before sending yours away).
Nintendo is one of the very few tech companies with good service. I've never had any problems dealing with them.
