Aw, man! That must suck. The looks of the damages tell that it wasn't just broken by weary manufacturing, but instead, broken by force. Did you drop it, or hit it? Play too hard with the little thing? That's what I did to mine. I was playing Metroid Prime Hunters, and I held the DS too hard and one hinge cracked. A little heat does quite well on plastic.

Do you know what it will cost you to repair it?

The cracked hinges seem to be a flaw in the DS' design considering the amount of people having this problem. A crack appeared in my lite's hinge but, I had it repaired (for free) before it ended up like that.

I didn't drop it or hit it at all. i took very good care of it. read my blog post and i mentioned that a lot of people are having the problem and i took very good care of it. link on first post.

It seems it's always the right hinge. I've had my DS Phat for a few years and its still good as new exept the fading colors where I hold it.

So, I called Nintendo today, and I asked them about getting the cracked hinges on my DS lite repaired....
