[DS Lite] I finally got around to board repair on my childhood console

I've been putting this off for too long. The DS Lite was the first device I ever attempted to fix by myself, and it went... poorly. I just ended up breaking it further, and putting it in a box for 10 years.

Long story short, the hinge broke as they so often do, and teenage me thought I could handle it myself. I ripped the ribbon cable, broke the touchscreen connector, and burned out one of the fuses... basically the trifecta of the most common things you can do to make the problem worse. The video shows my exploits in finally fixing it.
