i would think that it'd be almost cheaper/more convineint to buy a new one if you can afford it. If not then go to a gamestop, I thik they can fix some stuff like this, but don't quote me on this.

I would take it apart and look at the cabling. If the cable is loose, then the wifi antenna and the screen may not work.

A quick ebay search shows the screens for around $17+ S&H don't know the quality.

you know what you have to do now right? If not, then here it is:
tie his little self to a tree, take his saved money (if he has any or any valuable possesion and sell it). Then buy a new DS and play D/P in front of him the whole weekend. There is no greater torture for a Pokemon fan.

One, Adam's brother doesn't play Pokemon,
and two, his brother is older.

ok so you can still take something of his that's worth something and sell it. Just don't let him find out it's you who did it. It would help if you have other siblings.

In case we buy one and don't want this to happen should we buy some kind of Insurance?

if you buy them at best buy they have some sort of protection plan (< i think that's what it's called). a very good deal, that's why they are Best Buy.

I don't think that Best Buy will cover accidental damage. I thought they just cover normal usage. I don't think the "I was just playing with it and it fell apart into three parts" argument will work.
Though there is a smaller time limit, I think that it is generally 1 month, check your credit cards. I know some credit cards will cover lost/stolen/damaged merchandise.

I was just stating that Best Buy's protection plans are merely extened waranties covering only issues brought be normal use. They do not offer an insurance type program that will cover it being broken by the consumer, whereas some credit card companies will cover (for a limited time) lost/stolen/damaged items.
