nintendo ds problem

Nintendo ds is not working as it says there is no ds card inserted when there is, tried various games on it and still not working so im assuming there is a fault with the ds.

Not under warranty, is this fixable? or is it just better to get new one?

thanks

    Nintendo charge £30.50 - £55 for repairs, see here

    If you try google you should find a local unofficial repairer. For example this place charge £20 to replace the mainboard. BTW I'm not recommending them as I've never used them I just found them via google.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
