Parts for an old DS

I'm looking for a new logic board for my old DS but cannot find one anywhere. I'm fairly certain that would solve my problem and wouldn't take me five minutes to install (assuming I can find my DS screwdriver). It'd be a hell of a lot cheaper than paying Nintendo $70 to fix it.

    A lot of times broken handhelds and consoles show up on ebay.

    Sometimes they tell you what's broken and sometimes they don't.
    Keep an eye out there if you already aren't.

    Another thing about Ebay, they don't always tell you what's broken, just that it is defective.

    Honestly, it would probably be a lot cheaper to just have Nintendo fix it.

    eBay is too risky for something like this. I spent 60$ trying to replace a PSU for a Xbox that I got for 40$, and just said fuck it and wrote off the 100$ I wasted when I could have just gotten a new one for 40$ more.

    I've been keeping an eye on ebay, and there have been a few good candidates that work perfectly but have a busted top screen. I just wanted to try and fix it on the cheap. I'm certainly not going to pay Nintendo $70+ or spend that on parts when I could just go buy a DS lite (if I could find one).

    I'd be nice if Nintendo would just sell me the part.
