Yeah, I just tried to buy one of the premade ones too, but it said sold out. I don't have an original DS to send in, I don't trust buying used consoles online, and because of Covid, every place is closed right now, so I can't browse places to find a good one. I mean, don't get me wrong, if I have to I will find a way. I think a few places are doing curbside near me, but it would be nice to know.
I get ya! For the COVID part, I just sanitize with one of the Clorox wipes (usually wear a mask and gloves too) and then just let it sanitize for a few hours outside. But my concern about buying online is not knowing if they work. Also on eBay you can find a lot for $50 but you dunno if its good or not. Offerup might work but I dont want to have too much human contact (usually I Venmo and open my trunk) but the issue here is that most local sellers dont know how to name the original NTR-001 DS. so I get a bunch of 3ds and Lites in the results.
A few months ago, I got a blue phat ds on ebay for $30. Pretty good condition. I searched up "Nintendo DS Launch Edition" and a bunch of results came up. Plenty of good deals on original DS's are on ebay, especially on titanium ones. I've seen some with plenty of photo evidence and a charger go for $15.
Have you done the mod yourself? What is the level of difficulty? I restore a lot of iMacs and but I seldom venture into console of fear of breaking them. Im glad there is no soldering .

Nah, I haven't done the mod myself. I sent it into loopy since he'd do a better job than I could ever do, and it's only $25 more. There are videos of people doing the mod with the install kits on yt, though, so if you want to install it yourself you can look to those to see how they did it.

To me the hardest part is cutting the plastic to get the FFC through. But I have seen people mess up easier soldering tasks. If you are restoring backs by swapping large boards around, but don't know how to solder, then get someone to do it for you. If you restore macs by swapping out failed board components, then this is easier.
