When a console stops sending a signal to the TV or the top screen goes dark, you can either ship it out for repair or buy the part and do the job yourself. For a PlayStation 4 or a Nintendo DS Lite, the right replacement depends on the exact failure, your comfort with soldering, and what the part actually includes. The four options here span from $9.98 to $34.97, so the first move is to match the part to the repair.
Quick take
- Need to fix a lost video connection on a PS4? The 10x PS4 HDMI Port Replacement is the low-priced entry point, but soldering skills matter.
- Need to fix a DS Lite display? The Top Upper LCD Screen comes with the backlight already in place.
- Need a new main board for a DS Lite rebuild? The Genuine Replacement Motherboard is the most complete foundation.
- Need to pick from a set of OEM parts for a PS4 Slim? The Sony Playstation 4 Slim Console System Replacement Parts 2215A - YOU PICK is the option that lets you choose your part.

Product notes
10x PS4 HDMI Port Replacement Socket Connector for Playstation 4
At the low end of the price spread, this set gives you ten replacement HDMI port modules for the original PlayStation 4. If you are comfortable with a soldering iron, having multiple ports means you can practice once and still have spares for later repairs. The ports are silver, new, and sized for the original PS4 rather than the Slim model. The catch is that professional installation is highly recommended and soldering is required, so this is not a plug-and-play fix. You need an original PS4, not a Slim, for this particular part.
Top Upper LCD Screen Display Replacement Part for Nintendo DS Lite NDSL Console
If the top screen on your DS Lite is cracked or has stopped displaying, this replacement comes with the backlight kit already installed, so you do not have to source a separate backlight. It is a new part for the Nintendo DS Lite and is aimed at replacing a faulty or broken screen. The job is a screen replacement in the upper housing, and the backlight is already part of the unit. It is specifically the top upper LCD, so a lower-screen or digitizer issue would need a different part. For a top-screen-only failure, it is a focused replacement that matches the size of the repair.
Genuine Replacement Motherboard for Nintendo DS Lite Official OEM - Tested Part
This Nintendo DS Lite motherboard comes from a working system and includes the wi-fi board, which saves you from tracking down that separate component. The part is an official board for the DS Lite and is described by its title as tested. For someone doing a full internal rebuild, this gives you the main logic board and wireless in one step. Just be ready for a complete board swap, since you will be moving the DS Lite's shell, screens, buttons, and other components onto this board. It is also the highest-priced option in this group, so it makes the most sense for a larger repair project.
Sony Playstation 4 Slim Console System Replacement Parts 2215A - YOU PICK
This parts lot for the PS4 Slim 2215A has a YOU PICK format, meaning you choose the specific piece you need from the pictured set. The parts were pulled from non-working consoles and are tested and working. The included shell shows some wear and a small burn mark, so it suits someone who cares more about function than appearance. The main constraint is model match: these parts are for the Slim 2215A only, not the first PS4 model or other Slim revisions, so it only fits that specific console family.
Final recommendation by use case
For a PS4 with a lost video connection and soldering experience, the 10x PS4 HDMI Port Replacement is the part to start with, and the multi-pack leaves you with extras. For a DS Lite with a broken upper display, the Top Upper LCD Screen is the more direct fix. For a full DS Lite internal rebuild, the Genuine Replacement Motherboard gives you the main board and the wi-fi board together. And if you have a PS4 Slim project with several worn parts, the Sony Playstation 4 Slim Replacement Parts YOU PICK lot lets you choose the exact piece you need.
