Blue lines on touchscreen DS Lite
Blue lines on touchscreen DS Lite
My DS Lite is showing some thin blue lines that flicker on the touchscreen. Some of the colors like red look pink when the lines are on the screen. This only happens for about 1 or 2 minutes after turning it on, then it goes completely away. It also doesn't do it after wake up even after a few hours it only happens when you power it on after a day of not playing. It doesn't really affect gameplay but it's just annoying. Anyone have this problem? Can it be solved by tinkering? If I have to change the screen then I'll just keep it that way.
Thanks everyone...

Probably a slightly loose or corroded connection that behaves after the system warms up and things expand just a little. Other than some careful percussive maintenance it would mean opening it up to reseat or clean things.

Yeah, Hobie's probably right on the money. DS systems aren't old enough to be plagued by cap problems yet so that's pretty much your only option.
If it's still in warranty Ninty should have you fixed up in a jiffy.
