I bought my Nintendo DS Lite over a year ago (before they became officially available in Korea) from a Chinese online shop.
The hinge has a crack now.
Will Nintendo Korea repair my DS?
How do I go about it? |

Symptom: Cracked hinge.
Description: On the external portion of the Nintendo DS Lite system, a single - but obvious - crack will form along the hinge. According to sources, this is caused by an overtightening in the Nintendo DS Lite manufacturing process. It's a common defect, but in the swing of things, it's an uncommon occurrence.
Recommendation: The crack is only cosmetic on the plastic surrounding the hinge mechanism - it doesn't affect the integrity of the hinge itself. If the crack really affects you in a Tony Shaloub's Monk sort of way, then Nintendo will replace your system if you contact them. |

I have a cracked hinge, and my touch screen is misaligned. But I still love it.
The 'Cracked Hinges' could become collectors items in years to come, and as the damage is only superficial, I wouldn't bother trying to get it repaired.
Will Nintendo Korea repair my DS? --- I don't know.
How do I go about it? --- I don't know.
Sorry.  |

The crack on the hinge of my DS isn't new. It's been only "cosmetic" for almost two months now.
Today the crack actually separated, and is affecting the ease and fluidity of opening and closing the lid.
So, it is now a functionality issue. |
