ionno pushin, u musta got a lemon or somethin, like my ds has treated me great, i can't say i've treated it the same way, its never made me replace anything that i didn't do somethin stupid to cause it or a wear and tear item, i've only had a gasket blow on me, all the rest i think it was pretty much our fault

 

I've always overly maintained mine and it still gave me crap, but I replaced about everything so not much more can break. I strongly believe it's just my luck since my whole life has been filled with a nightmare.... The person that buys my DS from me probably wont have to do a thing to it for 15 years, and I wouldn't be surprised a bit considering past experiances......
