Touch screen on our lads DS is faulty and was looking to maybe order a new one or send it away to get fixed. When looking I found two sites, Consolebitz and ConsoleParts4U. Has anybody used either of them? Also when checking their details, they have the same address and phone number, is it me or does this seem a bit odd?

Steven try the boy that owns the HiFi/Tv shop on Leith walk down near Pilrig Street. He does all the PS3 and Xbox repairs so cant see a DS being much hassle to him.

If it's just a case of replacing the touch screen then the parts aren't expensive but not sure I want to go to the trouble if it turns out that replacing it doesn't fix it.

You also need the special Nintendo screwdriver (3 points) without that you can't open the case. If it isn't included, you need to factor that into the cost.

Or take it to an expert.

Ive done these for my lad twice. First screen was rubbish, went within a month, second lasted. Ebay sell the screens with the screwdriver included in a kit. Like the others have said they are peanuts to purchase. The hassle for me was which screen needed replacing (as one of them is a right faff). But if you're patient and have time, buy one.
