This Nintendo DS Lite was released in 2006 as the successor to the Nintendo DS. Getting inside this device is simple, making for easy fixes.

Game card slot broken

The pins inside of my DS Lite's game card slot are bent and broken, and I was wondering if there was a way to replace the slot?

It’s possible but requires delicate soldering and desoldering it requires a replacement card reader

Indeed, it is possible! But requires soldering which make the repair somewhat difficult. You can replace the motherboard, which is easier but more expensive...

What I advise is to replace the game card reader only when you have experience with soldering / micro soldering. If not, you can ask a local repair shop to do it for you. If this is not possible, then replace the motherboard.
