    Ok well i just opened up my DS Lite and started playin when i notice a crack in the plastic next to the lights, turns that the plastic has stuck to the little pegs that keep the top screen in place and well snapped, so i was just wondering a way to fix this , its not wrecking anything at the moment but it screw my DS sooner or later so i was thinkin of putting some super glue in the crack and hope for the best, so should i do this or any other ideas?

    Superglue = bad, unless you're happy with buying a new DS should you fuck it up.

    The most complete solution would be to buy an entirely new shell and rebuild your DS in that. My DS's hinge broke and its casing got severely damaged after a road accident, but as the console itself still worked I just went online, bought a shell and a triwing screwdriver and rebuilt it in an afternoon thanks to some handy internet tutorials.

    wait the crack is in the long hinge that connects the 2 screens , so doesnt make a problem?

    Hinge problems are fairly common in the DSLite. It'll be fine until it stops being able to hold the top screen in place, then you might want to re-case it to be on the safe side. Glue is not something I'd use. Why? What if something else breaks? You're forced to spend however much for a new DS instead of paying ten times less for a new shell.
