But, some are more brave than us, taking the responsibility of maintaining the integrity of their precious handheld upon themselves.
Enter flickr user shalf, who has a daughter that broke the power switch on her pink DS Lite. Like a good dad, he isn't going to make her wait for the time it takes to ship the handheld to Nintendo and get it back repaired, he's done it himself! And, thankfully, he's taken tons of pictures and placed them on his flickr page for all to see. Hopefully, some of you out there thinking about taking apart your DS Lite can learn a thing or two from his efforts.

You can check out how to replace a screen here (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/04/09/are-you-a-bad-enough-dude-to-replace-your-ds-lites-screen/), as well as how to take apart the whole thing here (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2007/12/18/become-the-dr-frankenstein-of-the-ds-world/). Heck, you can even make your own Rumble Pak (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2007/07/25/want-rumble-do-it-yourself/)! Some people love the DS so much, they even try to turn other handhelds into one (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2007/12/17/man-loves-ds-so-much-tries-to-turn-a-game-boy-color-into-one/).
