Im never forgiving nintendo for the placement of that FUCKING RIBBON CABLE

so the story is that I once attempted to make a custom dsi, cotton candy style, pink buttons, blue shell

this required a near complete disassembly of two units

there is a screw on the back casing that I swear to fucking god is designed to purposefully self destruct because within a minute that screw was fucked. I snapped the case open on the donor and got some help obliterating/extracting the screw on the target

then theres the touch screen digitizer ribbon cable. oh boy.

This fucker sockets pretty much into the middle of the fucking board, connecting the two halves of the back plate together. this cable is fuckinf horrible to try to put back in place during reassembly and I accidentally fucked up the cable trying to fit it back in, renderimg the digitizer completely unusable.
