Plastic Housing and Hinge Issues

Nintendo DS

The information in this article can help you when a system hinge is cracked or broken off or when a corner of the system has become detached.

What to do

Nintendo is no longer offering service requests for the Nintendo DS, so if the plastic housing or hinge are cracked, it's time to replace your system.

Nintendo now offers refurbished and remanufactured systems at prices a lot lower than new products. Visit Nintendo Store for Authentic Nintendo Refurbished Products and all your other Nintendo product part and accessory needs.

Nintendo Refurbished System Benefits
  • The only refurbished products in the market that have been cleaned, tested, and inspected to meet Nintendo's high standards.
  • Includes the same one-year warranty as our new products!
  • In addition to exclusive titles and features, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DSi are backwards compatible with nearly the entire library of Nintendo DS games. So if you're upgrading from a Nintendo DS, you'll still be able to enjoy your existing game collection.

We also know many Nintendo consumers love their RETRO! Finding a replacement for your older product may be an option.
