Buying gaming replacement parts modding gear usually starts with a symptom, not a shopping list. Maybe your Nintendo DS Lite powers on but the top screen is cracked. Maybe your Game Boy Advance won't stay on when you nudge the power slider. These two parts solve different problems: one is an upper LCD display for a DS Lite, and the other is a power switch board for the Game Boy family. Neither replaces the other, but if you repair retro handhelds, you might be choosing between them for your next project.
Quick Verdict
If your problem is visual, get the Top Upper LCD Screen Display Replacement Part for Nintendo DS Lite NDSL Console at $22.99. If your problem is power, get the Power Switch Part Board Replacement Game Boy/Pocket/Color/Advance/GBA/SP/GBC/GBP at $8.99. The DS Lite part is a screen swap with a pre-installed backlight kit; the Game Boy part is a small switch board set meant to restore reliable ON/OFF operation.

Product Notes
Top Upper LCD Screen Display Replacement Part for Nintendo DS Lite NDSL Console
This is the part to reach for when the top screen of a DS Lite is cracked, broken, or faulty. The part is described as a DS Lite LCD screen replacement with a backlight kit already pre-installed, so you don't need to track down a separate light panel. It is a new replacement part, so you're not cleaning up a used panel. It is specifically the upper display, so a damaged lower touch panel would need a separate part. For someone working on a DS Lite, this is the direct top-screen fix.
Power Switch Part Board Replacement Game Boy/Pocket/Color/Advance/GBA/SP/GBC/GBP
For handhelds in the Game Boy family, a faulty power switch can make a good console feel dead. This replacement part board is designed to restore reliable ON/OFF operation. It comes as a 5-piece GBA set, so you get extras for future repairs or for practicing the install. Compatibility covers Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Pocket. The trade-off is scope: this is a switch board, not a full power system. If the switch itself is the weak point, this set is the focused part to have in your repair kit.
Final Choice by Use Case
Pick the Top Upper LCD Screen Display Replacement Part for Nintendo DS Lite NDSL Console when your project is a top-screen display repair.
Pick the Power Switch Part Board Replacement Game Boy/Pocket/Color/Advance/GBA/SP/GBC/GBP when you're replacing a switch that no longer turns the handheld on or off reliably.
The choice comes down to which component is actually broken: the DS Lite's screen or the Game Boy's power switch.
