My 1st gen DS is getting old, but I don't want to buy a lite (system's too small for my hands). It's got some scratches on the back and on the screens. How can I attempt to get rid of some of these scratches? Also, my battery is getting pretty bad. Should I buy some 3rd party battery or an official replacement from Nintendo?

Belt sander; yes, official replacement.


Kidding about the belt sander.

Well if there are tons of scratches on the back then you could always grab one of those replacement DS shells off ebay. I did and my DS looks like new.

Bad 3rd party batteries can explode.

There aren't tons, but I would like to get rid of them. If I can find my camera's battery charger I'll show pictures.

You could always buy a used original DS at game stores.  They will let you check it out before you buy it.  Only thing you couldn't really test is the battery at that point.
