Repairing Nintendo DS Lite Volume Switch

Introduction

Step 1 Battery

 

The screw remains captive to the battery cover.

The screw remains captive to the battery cover.

Pry the battery cover upward with a spudger or fingernail, and lift out of the lower case.

Wedge the edge of a spudger in between the side of the battery and the lower case housing and pry upward to dislodge the battery.

Step 3 Lower Case

Use the tip of a spudger to pry both rubber feet off the DS Lite.

 

Step 4

 

Two 4.3 mm gold Phillips screws

Remove the following screws securing the lower case to the body of the DS Lite:

Two 4.3 mm gold Phillips screws

One 3.9 mm black Tri-Wing screw

One 3.3 mm silver Phillips screw

Three 5.5 mm silver Tri-Wing screws

 

Step 5

Continue running the spudger along the backside of the DS Lite until the majority of the lower case has been separated from the upper case.

Pull carefully. Some units are sealed with adhesive, and pulling too hard can damage the power switch.
