Ds screen

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Buff it out. Get some polishing compound and work it in there. It'll buff out.

You could always buy a replacement DS screen and install it yourself. I've seen them for quite cheap; they were on xbox*restofurlIforgot*.com. People here have mentioned the site, maybe one of them could help you.

Yep, that was it Weebl! Thanks! Anyways, here's the link: http://www.xboxrepairguide.com/nintendo ... 51_56.html
The DS touchscreen is $30; I'm assuming the actual LCD isn't scratched, correct?
