Help please !

i`ve just got a DS and the touch screen & pen won`t calibrate properly. are there any ideas i could try or is it something i need to send it away for (it`s out of warranty). thanks in advance.

needs to be sent back to Ninty mate! dont worry if its out of warranty, they will prob charge about £25 for repair! I know that the max they will charge (regardless of the state of your DS/DS Lite) is £45! Well thats what they said when someone on here asked them about it ages ago.

check there isn't something stuck under the edge of the touch screen, a bit of grit could cause havoc in the wrong place.

I sent a completely dead machine back to nintendo and they sent me a brand new machine back for 45 quid. brilliant service. I would expect a dodgy screen replacement would be cheaper too.
