Victory is mine (Patreon)

After cooling off for a bit I picked up where I left off with the DS Lite I attempted the shell swap on. After reseating the display ribbon cable several times with no luck, I put everything back in a box and let it sit for a few days. On a whim I stuck the battery in and...it works now?! I quickly finished putting it back together before it realized it's still supposed to be broken.

Of course, I still have one more to shell swap, and it's gonna be slightly more difficult -- I might make a quick video about that one for you.
