Nintendo DS-Lite working perfectly before...
Dropped from low height (fell off a bed) was in a padded case but still cracked glass over lower LCD (very fragile). Otherwise appeared to work OK, but quickly developed an odd sympton:
Lower LCD will "scramble" - goes to black & white and shows vertical lines which move around with the video.
Odd thing is, at low backlight setting (1 of 4) LCD is fine, works at 2, at 3 it "scrambles" and stays that way until it is reduced to
1 again, where it *usually* sorts itself out. (Once gone, returning to 2 does not clear it).
Although this happened at the time of the drop, it does not appear to be physical - tap on the unit, screen, bottom, sides, anywhere at low LCD setting and it stays fine with not a flicker. Hold it rock steady and raise LCD setting and it will die.
"feels" like a power problem - higher backlight setting sapping a power supply - but remainder of unit (including upper screen) continue to function with no visible effects, not even a flicker) - Lack of physical response would tend to rule out a bad connection induced by the fall ....
Any ideas? Known issues with this symptom?
