Good product in Nintendo DS

I bought the DS on ebay for $10 and managed to replace the hinge in just a few minutes, thing works very well and it was great value, fast delivery too.

Pros
  • Annual trial period
Cons
  • Negative result available

Older systems don't need it

I ordered this because I thought my old axle was broken but when I disassembled my DS I found that the shroud around the axle was worn and my old axle was fine. For this reason I have not installed or tested this product, so I cannot comment on its usefulness.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
