IGN has an interesting article that points out some tell-tale signs that you might have been saddled with one of many defective DS Lite models. If you've noticed any of the several points mentioned in their post, you might want to consider getting it back to the shop and demanding a pristine new one in exchange.




Here are some of the things you need to look out for:

• Dead pixels on one or both screens


• A cracked hinge


• A D-pad with weak diagonals


• A shifting touch screen


• A yellowish screen

You can get the full lowdown, replete with screenshots, over at IGN.
