my Broken TOUCHscreen :'(

[beltmanana]

im playing actionloop level 36 and im one step away from smashing my ds on the hardest thing close.

my touchscreen has a small area on it that doesnt pick up well, if you try to draw a straight line across it it would look something like this...

does anyone know any software besides the firmware to calibrate it with? or if this is more serious, a way of fixing it without buying a replacement? i dont really know much about how a touchscreen works but if it can be fixed i'd sooner take my ds apart than buy a replacement

please get back to me asap!

EDIT: when i try to calibrate it with the ds firmware it takes about 15 mins of touching the dots over and over again... :S

Just use google to find a parts replacement site. Dcemu also has a thread that shows good sites from replacement parts. I know of a great site that fixed my DS and PSP screens but I can't remember what it was....

i didnt really want to spend the cash on a screwdriver and screen, i have no job right now, so its not really an option

does anyone know if it is possible to fix or if it is unreversable damage?

Nope. I broke mine and to only way was to order the parts or send it back to nintendo. sorry bout your bad luck.
