Technical Question My 3DS does not close.

Hello guys, I bought my 3DS used by AliExpress and the console came in perfect condition, without risks. But after about six or seven months of use, the top screen no longer closes and doesn't make that click; it gets a little raised, but still activates standby mode. I wonder if anyone could give a solution. I thought it could be the film; I removed it, but the problem continued.

Technical Question Got a bad 3DS from JP

32 Upvotes

Ordered a 3DS LL from Japan. And the ad specified that the condition is "Normal use, a few scratches and stains" but what they sent me is this: Major dents and scratches. Loose charging port. Still charges. All screens are not IPS. Lower screen has a noticable white spot in the middle.

I think the condition should be on the "Many scratches/stains/damages" as shown in the ads.

Should I get a refund? Or just accept that 2024 isn't so lucky for me.

I wanted to share this beauty I got today which is a Japanese 3DS LL/XL Chopper Edition !

Very happy I could get it brand new with everything for 300€.

My New 2DS XL still contains my main data and everything, but I wanted to have a brand new experience again, so I’m starting everything from scratch with this cutie ! ♡

I’m looking at these two. One is pretty scratched up for 240 and the other is really clean with an aftermarket stylus for 275. 275 without shipping. Should I ask if they can ship it out or is it gonna end up getting scratched anyway?

Local store had this in stock. Couldn’t leave it behind, especially since it was 20% off items priced until $200. Lucky by a penny!

Discussion Your 3DS Year in Review

Post image
114 Upvotes

Nintendo has released their Year In Review for the Switch, and out of curiosity I compared it to my 3DS stats. I only started really playing again in September, but still racked up 185 hours! How much did you play this year? How does it stack up to past years? What were your top games? • To check your stats go to Activity Log -> Daily Records -> click the calendar icon until it says "This Year" -> and make sure it's displaying in page view.

Hi, just wanted to know if this fits on the new 3ds. More specifically the battery, not really the case. Because if i remember all 3ds batteries are interchangeable? Its manufactured for old 3ds but i ordered it still to try and make it work.

B button on N3DS XL unresponsive

2 Upvotes

I’ve tried spraying it with compressed air and I’ve tried opening the system up to see what’s going on inside but the screws are stripped so I can’t unscrew it. Are there any options to fix it for me or at least map the B button to the extra shoulder buttons
