well, if you dig you can find replacement screens, putting them in is tricky, but doable... if you decide to trash it, i want it... will pay for broken ds's... would love to have a box of broken ds's to tinker about with... so keep me in mind plz

well bottom line, yes it can be replaced... as i said if you dig around you can find screens... for someone to replace it for you, it would depend on where in the world you are... if you are in australia, prepare to be raped... anywhere else peeps will charge in upwards of 50ish dollars to do it for you...

yes ozmodchips guy visits these forums, dont know if he can order parts, but they dont have them on their website... acegamestore does have screens on their site, but i hear they are shady...

I'm pretty sure that once it leaks, you have to have it replaced. Make sure the leak is contained, otherwise there's a chance the electrics might get fried if you try operating it.

Try google for some repair shops, and make sure their sites list at least 2 points of contact(address, mobile, phone.)

There's someone on the forums buying DS's that are stuffed up, and he'll probably pay you if the electronics aren't fried like an omelette.
