For a ds is can be the screen, but as you have just changed the shell, I suspect the cable has been damaged. Order a new ribbon cable and that should sort it out (if the connection was bad the DS would not normally boot up.

dealextreme.com , a bit of a wait (3 weeks) but only a few dollars with free postage

You said it was an original DS and not even a Lite? I'd say since it's going to be 2 generations old in a couple months anyway, take any money you might need to spend on parts fixing this one and put it towards a DSi. Or alternatively you could probably buy a DS at a pawn shop for 20 bucks. I got a DS Lite for $40.

There is only ONE ribbon cable for the Nintendo DS that is sold stand alone.

All other ribbon cables are attached to their screen components.
