Sadly one month ago i noticed my DS Lite was afficted with the dreaded "Cracked Hinge"

I emailed Nintedo and that emailed back next day with details of where to send it for repair (no mention of paying P&P

or how much it will be so i assume its is free being a factory fault

)
So i just packed it up today and will be posting it tomorrow.
I should have done it a month ago when i noticed the problem but the games rocked too much.
I shall let you know when i get it back how long it took and we shall see if Nintendo has good customer service or not.
