"there is nothing wrong with that ds. the spring that holds it open is the only thing. it works perf ... " (more)ect. its gonna be opened up anyway if someone is playing it. so that doesnt effect it whatsoever. and besides that, i only put this ds on here because she said she needed one for her sick child so i was trying to be nice and help her get one for her child. she got the ds, game, charger and a ds case for a very very very good deal. so im a little suprised to see that she would complain about a little spring in the hinge. for the amount she got it for, she should be thankful. i only listed it and put gin on it specifically so she could gin it for her " ill child". i could have gotten much much more for this seeing as how i got 40 thousand for one the day before. anyway, so kind of rude to complain about a spring! guess theres no pleasing some people!!!"
