A nephew of mine has tried to change the power switch on his DS lite and has lifted the solder tags off the board at contacts 2 and 3 ( the two middle contacts) is there any way to fix this in order to fit a new switch?

There is nothing on Google about that specific problem, but you can buy a new switch on eBay for very little £1.50/$2 depending on where you are located.

I'm guessing that where you purchase the replacement switch, there will be a guide on fitting it (many respected sites have guides with their items).

If you pulled the pad off the board, then you must clear part of the trace and connect to that. Go here ..http://soldering.tehskeen.com/ ...& scroll down to the section on traces. You'll get the idea.
