A DS survives the Himylayahs (bad spelling) over a PSP, but not the pocket of some blue jeans. I smell foul play, or my dad's peanuts. Do you have yourself a receit? I'd take it back or something. At least I know what I could get you for your B-Day.

Yeah, I gotta agree with N4. Those things are freaking hardy. It didn't break by being in your pocket. I'd suspect somebody did something to it or someone was very unusually rough with it. Like using it for a football rough.
Also, I think this goes in the Advice section. I'll move it there.

There's a Nintendo workshop that fixes and repairs just about any of their products, check the packaging of your DS or the Nintendo website for a number.
I can't say I'm that suprised, though. The DS is sturdy like a rock, but the LCD screen is the easiest thing for anything to break. I once had a gameboy that suffered a simular fate, but I just threw that one away because the Game Boy Advance was released at the time.

Nintendo is definitely a very sturdy line of systems, built from experience. My brother once left my Game Boy Pocket outside overnight, during a terribly heavy rain. I thought it was history, especially when I picked it up the next morning and the display screen was all fogged up. I was sure water got in there and shorted everything. Quite to the contrary, however, after an hour or so inside, the display cleared and it worked like a dream for several more years before I finally replaced it with a Game Boy Color.
The same quality goes into their consoles, I've noticed. I have never had to send my NES in for maintenance, or do much more than touching up at home. It's saying something when my regular Nintendo needs less professional attention than my Playstation 2, which I just had to bring in for a cleaning about a month ago because it stopped reading disks entirely. And yes, in case you're wondering, all my NES equipment still plays just fine. Though I'm having some battery problems with the save files on my old Zelda ... But hey, that's what Collector's Edition is for, right?
Anyway, yeah, like Silva said, call in, get it fixed, but if it costs more than 70 dollars US, buy yourself a new one, because that's the price for a used one.

... Why is that my Nintendo stuff breaks less then a year after I get it?... i.e. game cube; lid, game boy color; Washer and dryer, while on, short, game boy advanced; worse then foot ball rough, projectile for my sister to throw into a *brick* wall... *glances back* >< Maybe its just my house hold is rough on stuff...
Never mind...
I'll agree with Ninmast and Silva...
