Title:

DS lite flashes then shuts off

Text:

I am fixing a friend's Nintendo DS lite.  The top half is nearly separated from the rest, only the two black/grey cables are holding it in place.  The screen cable is torn. I am sure I will need to buy new hinges.

When I try to turn it on, the power light turns green and the bottom half flashes white for a fraction of a second.  Is there more wrong with it then the top screen and  hinges? Do I need a new shell as well to replace the hinges?

I am not familiar with DSs, so excuse my ignorance.

Thanks for all your help!
