I need some hardware advice.

I recently re-assembled my DS Lite. The bottom screen flickers very slightly and has faint horizontal lines across it. It's not really visible at all except at certain illumination levels, like a black box with a bright background.

I tried disconnecting and re-connecting the screen three times in case I might have accidentally attached its ribbon cables wrong, but the slight problem persists. There are cheap replacements online for about 20 USD, although the reviews say they have bad electrical insulation and I should add some electrical tape to them.

What would you recommend I do?

Edit: Yay, this fixed it. https://mathstodon.xyz/@JordiGH/114259241328546783

My #Wii / #Dolphin journey also inspired me to pull out my #NintedoDS.

The second screen just wasn’t ever a good idea. It’s neat in Mario when pipes move you from one screen to the other.

But every game I have basically just has gameplay entirely on the top screen at extra UI elements you can ignore below.
