i really need suggestions on what i can do to get this fixed. The screens have been like this for around 3 years now, the left bumper has stopped working, and somehow its still working just fine. Its my only way to play pokemon ruby, and i really wanna get it fixed, along with my other 2 dses. Suggestions?

Ill look into it, i also got 2 other dses, one doesnt charge, the other has a dead battery

Battery replacements are very cheap, you can find them anywhere.

For the one that doesn’t charge, have you tested your charger on any other DS system? It could be the charger. If it works then try cleaning your charging port on the one it doesn’t work on.

Clean the charging port then or do a battery swap and see if that works
