Can a replacement screen for ds lite be put into a phat?

There's a working PS3 laptop someone made, so why wouldn't it be possible? :D
No one's saying it's a simple affair, though. Since as thepsynergist said the Lite's screen is larger, you'd probably have to disassemble the machine and file the screen holder larger or the metal part surrounding the screen smaller, if that's even doable (I don't now how it's installed). So unless you're into modifying consoles (at which premise you'd most probably already be doing it and not asking us), it's not something worth doing.

All you need to do is do your research. I did this in less than five minutes. Now that you have the info laid out in front of you, all you have to do is buy and replace them. I wouldn't even attempt to use the Lite screen on the original NDS. The connector's are probably different, and there's too much room for error in having to file the screen away. The NDS casing is designed for NDS parts, not NDSL.

And, to remove any further margin for error, I would just send it to Nintendo. They'll probably charge you a little more than you buying the parts yourself, but at least you'll know you're getting genuine Nintendo Parts and Service. Chances are, if you try to do it yourself, screw something up, and they find out, they probably won't repair it for you.
