Nintendo DS Lite Console Handheld System Black (Renewed)

My daughter loved this item!

I ordered a Onyx Black (Color: Black) Nintendo DS Lite from Rock 30 Games based out of North Dakota via their online Amazon listings under the Nintendo DS Lite varieties. I had previously been fooled into thinking a DIFFERENT seller’s DS was refurbished, but ended up receiving a faulty unit. Upon receiving my order from Rock 30 Games, I was BLOWN AWAY by the fact I got an authentic OEM shell, buttons, GBA Slot cover, and no scratches on what I presume are new screens. Buttons and triggers were soft and clicky, like they should be. The screen calibration is great. The unit has some small scratches, but that’s only due to being loved I’m sure. Overall, amazing quality, and now I’m playing all the games I missed out on as a kid. [Don’t be fooled by other sellers saying “professionally refurbished”, and “unit has no scratches and looks perfect.”] (Ahem… a certain “Packaging” company…) _________________________ PLEASE choose Rock 30 Games, they stunned me, and I will be buying from them again. They know what they’re doing, and from my experience… they don’t do shortcuts!

I had purchased this as a gift for my youngest son and if I remember correctly shortly after he broke something on the device to where it wouldn't function anymore. His lost but great product

screen broke

This is the first time I've bought one of these Amazon Renewed items, so I didn't know what to expect. It looks like, at least on my unit, they replaced the shell, the buttons, and the screens. It comes with a stylus, a GBA slot cover, and a charger. The shell is obviously aftermarket, it says Nintendo, but it feels terrible and doesn't look quite right. The text isn't as sharp, there are injection molding defects. It squeaks when you open or close it. The stylus is hard to remove or place, and it squeaks. The GBA slot cover also squeaks. The buttons feel horrible. There is no tactility, they don't collapse when you've pressed them, they feel like solid rubber, and they require way more force than the original. The start and select buttons are almost impossible to press. Underneath the rubber membranes is a mechanical switch, like the original DS Lite, but it requires a ridiculous amount of force. The screens look like DS Lite screens, free from scratches, but the top screen on mine came with a dead pixel. The bottom screen is a bit more yellow than the top screen, but not bad. I can't compare it to my original DS Lite, because it's broken. DS games work, so do GBA games. I didn't play it much, I knew I was going to be returning it. I'm not saying don't buy a DS Lite. It's a great console. There are a ton of amazing DS games that you can't really experience elsewhere, it also plays GBA games, which is great. It's just that you're better off getting a used DS Lite from Ebay.

Showed up in great condition

Good condition, it works well.

Works fine and plays fine. Its reshelled from the original shell and its quality is just okay. Fits very very tightly and screen has noticeable yellowing, but if youre just looking for any old DS lite this will do fine.
