Nintendo DS repaired

Ethan and Daniel were given a broken Nintendo DS Lite that had been left in a lost and found.  The top screen was cracked.  Richard Brenny my neighbor and I fixed it today.  While it took almost a full month for the $30 screen to get here, the repair worked fine.  There was one point when I realized that I was going to have to solder the speaker wires that I thought I had accepted a job that I could not do.  

We did prevail!  With the help of Rick and of Tammy's fancy magnifying device we got it done.  I ended up taking an old BIC pen and taking the inside little tube out of it, cutting a small slit in the end and using it to wrap up the connection cable to get it though a hole in the hinge.  I was really excited that it actually worked.

Right now as I write this, Joel, Isaac, Nathanel, and Ethan are playing Mario Cart against each other.  They each have a Nintendo DS Lite, and they are playing wirelessly against each other.  How cool is that?

Very cool.
