Nintendo Handheld Touchscreens

^^^ but it sounds like he only needs to replace the digitizer, which is on the bottom screen.

Watch a youtube vid to get a little confidence and pull the trigger. The top screens will be tricky since you have to basically pull the whole thing apart. But bottom screens+digitizers are a sinch.

Yup, all of this. Pretty easy job, just take your time as it's pretty easy to snap a ribbon cable if you're not careful.
Retro Deckades:
No one has encountered cheap digitizers? Are they all relatively resilient? I don't want to get one off eBay that scratches far easier than the originals.
palmer6strings:
Well I guess a last resort is you could call Nintendo and see if they could send you the part you need. :P
irvgotti452:
Buy the cheapest one you can find they are basically made in the same place.

Looks like you can get a digitizer for the phat here if needed:
