I haven't played my DS in a while, but I just picked up Zelda and Etrian Odyssey, and I feel that my DS screen is definitely messed up from playing too rough with Elite Beat Agents. I can see exactly where I press on the screen to draw on these games or aim, and it doesn't go there. It will go a little to the left or the right. It may not be a big deal, but it definitely makes the game less enjoyable when the lines are getting drawn in the wrong place and I have to erase and start over.

Has anyone experienced this? I tried calibrating the screen, but to no avail. It just keeps rotating around and around and around. Is this what it's supposed to do? I don't remember how the calibration worked before and if it finishes or if it's a loop you cancel out of.

If it keeps rotating around and around, you aren't being precise enough with your taps. Keep doing it.

Believe me when I tell you, that I could not be more precise. I never had this problem until just recently, and I had noticed it getting progressively less accurate during my EBA obsession.

I would get very close and press right on the little square. I think I just may have been too rough with it.

Do you have a (cheap) screen protector on it? If so then the adhesive had probably effed up your screen. Remove the protector, clean the screen up and then give it a shot, it should work. This happened to my friend a few months ago.

Nope, no screen protector. I wonder if I'm still under warranty, or if I should call Nintendo and see what they say.

PixyJunket

In that case, give them a call. They may help you even out of warranty.

same thing happen to my niece's DS she was obsessed with ouendan and it wouldn't calibrate. so we sent it back to nintendo was about a 2 week turnaround.

I called, but my warranty expired in June. . I think I'm just going to pick up a new one since a reburb from them is 96, and the repair is 75, not including shipping.
