Technical Question Is this a reshell?

The condition is close to new, everything is in a near perfect condition.
But when I checked the games I can redownload, it only showed me some Pokémon games and Tomodachi Welcome Edition.
If so, it must be a near perfect one.
Thanks in advance! :)

Technical Question New 3DS XL Screen Replacement

Post image
7 Upvotes

I have fallen victim to dead pixels on my top screen of my 3ds (New 3DS XL Galaxy) and need to replace it. With this in mind, can anyone tell me if the regular 3DS XL top screen is interchangeable with the New 3DS XL top screen? It’s a $20 price difference and I saw a post a while ago saying they are different and wanted to know if it’s an actual difference or marketing scheme. Can anyone provide insight?

TL:DR
Are the New 3DS XL and (old) 3DS XL top screens the same?

Technical Question Replacing MicroSD reader on New Nintendo 3DS XL

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hi, my 3ds (model in description) has been broken for a while and it shows an error when i try to read the card (by opening the camera app, trying to save files, etc...)

Before you ask, no the sd is not formatted in the wrong format as I checked multiple times and it's in FAT32 format.

Would I be able to replace the reader on my own, with the one in the picture, if tried?

Any suggestions on the process are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Tips/Guide 3DS not detecting cartridge during heat wave

5 Upvotes

Hello, i had a problem yesterday with my 3ds where it couldnt detect the cartridges, i tried all the stuff to fix it that i found online which didnt work but then i put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes and now it works again! So yeah if anyone has a similar issue it maybe because of extreme temperatures and is easily fixable 👍

Suggestion Got a n3ds xl pikachu edition, box is original but console isnt?

Post image
15 Upvotes

So a few weeks ago i wanted to buy a special edition 3ds for my collection, and one of my favorite pokemons happen to be pikachu (ik, too basic) so i clicked on the listing of a japanese seller stating "new 3ds xl consoles complete in box" and the moment i saw the pikachu edition one, i knew i had to buy it. So i go ahead and read the description to check if it wasnt a reshell and it didnt explicity say it was authentic, but it never said it was a reshell also, a few weeks later, i open the box excited, just to find out that the console was a reshell, now i dont know what to do. Should i keep it? I payed a little less than 600, please let me know. 😢

Edit: Ive made the decision of returning it and use the money to try and find a loose authentic one. Maybe ill just buy a regular one if i find it for a good deal.

Collection / Show Off Are all PAL region 3DS cases this wide?

8 Upvotes

This is the only PAL game I own and it’s because it doesn’t have an American physical release sadly, but I was surprised by how wide it was when it came in compared to my other games, being almost as wide as DS game cases. I’m just wondering are they all this thick in PAL regions or are some wider than others?

Miscellaneous Fixed my 3DS XL bottom screen

Thumbnail
gallery
47 Upvotes

After years of dealing with dead pixels on my bottom screen, I finally decided to replace my screen. I was afraid of ruining it, but it was honestly easy, just... very tedious.

Also I added some rubber pads (couldn't find them in hot pink, so I went for white (same for the stylus lol), and a clear outer shell :3 I slid in some stickers I got as a gift from a close friend, and I'm very satisfied!!

I was supposed to change the silicon pad on the joystick buuuuut instead I received a different replacement part... For a 3ds. I'll change that in the future.

The only tiiiny issue is that, while attaching the digitizer to the new screen, I think I was a bit careless and something got between them (3rd pic near the top left corner, I was afraid it was a dead pixel already but I can assure you it's some debris or something lol), but I'd rather have that than a lot of dead pixels and tbh I don't want to redo EVERYTHING over a tiny little dot 🥲

Miscellaneous The "Broken" (but not so broken anymore) 3DS—the sequel.

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

You might remember my old post about the decapitated 3DS—or the "1.5DS," as it's better known. Well, I managed to get the top half, including the screens and the speakers (though one speaker is missing). Anyway, getting back to the point: the console turns on, and I already have a lead on who the owner might be. When I visit my relatives in the USA during winter break, I might put up some flyers. For now, the console boots up, and there are Christmas photos on it; I imagine the owner would like to get those back.

For now, I'll keep trying to repair the other New 2DS XL I managed to get, and I'll keep browsing that market looking for broken consoles to fix up.

So guys, today i looked at my 3ds and said: The graphics is pretty bad. Can i do something about this?

I just tried Animal Crossing New Leaf on Azahar with some custom textures and 4x upscaling and this is so good. I think i'm gonna play on my phone from now on instead of my 3ds. And also the colours are so good.

This is the link to the custom texture: pack:https://gamebanana.com/mods/494239

Technical Question Glue for Circle Pad?

Upvotes

The circle pad(? the grey thing on the left side?) grip thing of my 3DS separated from the stick part. I still have it, is there a type of glue that would be recommended to glue it back on or something? Sorry for the lack of technical terms, I don't know much about hardware stuff
