Repairing Scratched 3DS XL Screens

[@frogdude1337]

Wow thanks for the helpful video. I bought a cheap grey new 3ds xl to mod. Noticed it had a line on the top screen from where the previous owner closed the lid too hard. This is helpful to replace it. Also noticed some scratches on the bottom digitizer. Thanks for your help

[@JayBoyModz]

Glad I could help!

[@KarmaIsAJoke]

@@JayBoyModz how much would a display of Nintendo DSI cost? I need both the top and bottom display. Can you suggest me the best place to get it please?

[@C.RL.S]

Does anyone else get anxiety from watching these videos? Like i know bro does this probably alot but I just keep thinking what if it screen snapped.

[@JayBoyModz]

Believe me I’ve snapped plenty 😅

[@imnotmeeks1131]

yooo i didnt know you did full youtube videos. been following after my homie bought a gameboy advance from you a few years back. this is exactly what i needed

[@JayBoyModz]

Heck yeah nice 😎🔥

[@derpythean-comdoge8608]

i didn’t realize it would be that easy to replace my top screen!!

[@Drayo66]

Hi, when you use the hot air to remove / loosen the adhesive on the top screen lens, what temperature do you like to set the heat to? (so as not to melt or damage the surrounding plastics?) Sorry if this is a noob question, been thinking of attempting this fix for my personal system soon and genuinely have no idea what a good setting would be... Also, thanks for your help and for putting together these detailed videos... they are super helpful and inspiring for us DIY'ers!!

[@JayBoyModz]

Hey there, I just put it on the lowest setting I think it was like 200F and make sure I dont hold it in one place for too long🙏🏽👍

[@angiereconco]

Im taking the project of modding and fixing my 3DS but this one is one great challenge. Is this something you would recommend for beginner to do? How high is the risk of messing up your nintendo forever?

[@percsie3072]

As high as it can get? You really can’t put yourself at more risk of damaging a Nintendo hand held than by disassembling it. Not to say you shouldn’t do it though, just watch the proper tutorials and you should be able to do it safely without much worry.

[@VR-Emcee]

Lookin good. Would you mind sharing what mod you used to be able to play back up games on your 3ds? I've got my games backed up on my computer.

[@JayBoyModz]

Thanks! Planning a vid for this soon! 🙏🏽

[@VR-Emcee]

@@JayBoyModz Sounds good 👍

[@JoseLopez-bo8tk]

Hey I noticed there English text on your LL model by chance did you region change your model? If so what's your thought about it I have been debating on doing it cause many guides say it's not worth it cause it will break the eShop etc. But with the eShop closing soon I wonder if it matter if the eShop breaks

[@JayBoyModz]

Hey there yes I have a guide for this in the works 🙏🏽 I think it is worth it. Once I modded my 3ds I never used the eshop again anyways

[@temple134]

I love doing these types of repairs tbh

[@ToffeeJim19]

Hey dude, thanks for the vid - any advice for things to watch out for with the top lens replacement specifically? I’m so scared of screwing it up.

[@yoderrock]

Hello! I've been wanting to repair my N3DSXL for a while but can not for the life of me find a reputable and fairly priced top screen for it. Could you maybe assist me?

[@JayBoyModz]

I usually use ebay or aliexpress but it really is hit or miss. Sorry I cant be of more help!

[@yoderrock]

@@JayBoyModz No it's fine, thanks for the help!

Repairing L and R buttons please 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

[@napzon19]

2:31 I have a question why did you open the latch part for the nfc connector? I did a motherboard swap as I put the US motherboard on the Japanese blue new 3DS LL and I use a tweezers to get the nfc ribbon cable out as I can’t use my fingers as I could break it as the nfc reader work after I put everything back together.

[@AdylK-u8h]

hey great video, could you share where did you get those screen parts?

[@xronyxnunez9226]

Looks easy but it’s a lot to do wow amazing looking now nice 👍🏻

[@phonk_enthusiast]

Where did you buy these from ? Can you give me a link please

[@alexandremueller6236]

Where do you get the replacement screens?

[@percsie3072]

I once used a screwdriver as a stylus on my original ds lite and when my dad saw me using it he flipped out and put the screwdrivers higher up on his peg boards so I couldn’t reach them😂😂.

[@rafaelm3311]

Hello! I was just wondering where you got the plastic screen? Also I have a 3Ds NEW so Im trying to find the correct size plastic.

[@JayBoyModz]

eBay 👍🏽

[@vicaya6141]

Hi! Do you happen to know if this messes with the 3D effect in any way? 😀

[@ernestoogas9904]

My 3DS had it's rubber stick pad broken, is there a way to change just that rubber piece without opening up the console?

[@JayBoyModz]

You have to open it up

[@craig559]

I’m about to look now but do you have a video on modding Japanese to English as it’s a lot cheaper to get a good condition Japanese model than English one.

[@GreenHunter3514]

is there anyway I could pay you to do this to my 3ds xl? I dont want to mess it up and you seem like the type of person that can do it edit" along with this is it possible that you could change the SD card flap bc it wont go in properly bc one of the prongs is broken and if you aren't able to do any of these pls give me recommendations onto who I can send my 3ds to to fix it? thanks edit 2" I juts looked at my 3ds and I might just need a whole repair + clean :(

[@RoysMyBoy]

So just curious, but would you be willing to repair the screen of my "NEW 2DS XL"? I accidentally poured a bottle of glasses cleaner on it, and it somehow got under the screen. It would mean a lot to me. I have many memories on there, and I don't have time to learn how to repair it myself because I'm busy with college...😅

[@Yaboyduddus]

Wow looks good

[@CallumEaston]

Love your work!!!

[@JayBoyModz]

Thanks!

I went for the Aliexpress digitizers as they’re cheap and much different than the original Nintendo’s digitizers
