Introduction

Removing the back panel is simple, provided you have the correct screwdriver. Nintendo uses a special Tri-wing bit for the case, be sure you have one of these before disassembling!

    • Remove the cartridge from the console.

    • Use a Phillips #00 Screwdriver to remove the screw securing the battery door to the rear case.

    • Remove the battery door.

    • In the images, it shows that the fixer is using a flathead screwdriver. This flathead screwdriver will work just like the Phillips #00 Screwdriver.

    • Use a plastic opening tool or spudger to pry out the battery from the bottom. If a plastic opening tool or spudger isn't available, your fingernails may work.

    • Remove the battery from the Nintendo DS.

    • Remove the seven 6.4mm Y00 screws located on the back.

    • If your DS has a lanyard attached to it, you can remove it to make the process of opening the top-left screw easier.

    • With your hands, pry the back panel off the main case.

    • Separate the back from the front, and set it aside.

    If some of your screws spin free but can’t be removed, it maybe that the screw posts have separated from the shell.

    This makes separating the back panel more difficult, but it will still work.

    The plastic used for the original silver nds may be the most prone to the UV damage that causes the plastic to become brittle.
