    • Desatornilla los dos tornillos de 4.2 mm que están localizados arriba de la cubierta.

    • Los tornillos tienen arandelas (rondanas) de seguridad que evitan que los tornillos se desprendan de la cubierta . Deja las arandelas en los tornillos; no es necesario removerlas para esta guía de reparación.

    Note: If your top or bottom screen was working before disassembly and doesn't work after reassembly, then it's likely that the connector is loose or dirty or damaged or not clipped or PLACED UPSIDE-DOWN. I had this issue with my Super3DS XL(2015) and it turns out that the reason why my top screen wasn't working after put together, was because I had the top LCD connector upside-down. After I correctly put the connector in, It worked again!

    • Coloca el dispositivo de manera que la cubierta quede hacia arriba.

    • Usa una herramienta para abrir de plástico para desprender la cubierta empezando desde la esquina derecha.

    • Sostén la orilla de la cubierta para asegurarte de que no se cierre de nuevo.

    • Revisa la pequeña sección debajo del compartimiento del stylus. Manipula la cubierta en ese punto si aún no se ha desprendido.

    • Quita la cubierta del dispositivo y deja la batería a un lado.

    Note that on the lower side (opposite to the hinges), there are small hooking tabs. These require you to lift the top (screw side) off towards you, then the lower area.

    • Inserta la herramienta para abrir de plástico en la apertura localizada en el lado derecho de la batería.

    • Empuja la bateria fuera de la carcasa.

    • Levanta y retira la bateria fuera de la carcasa.

    My 👴 grandpa was helping me 🔧 repair my 3ds xl and ⚡️electrocuted himself with the 🔋battery while we was taking it out with a 🔪 knife. 💀 Rip grandpa 😔

    • Usando pinzas remueve las gomas localizadas arriba del dispositivo a cada lado del slot de cartuchos

    I found that the rubber bumps don't move easily, you'll likely have to use a lot of upward force to move them.

    jconnell85 -

    I torn one of the bumpers because I used a needle instead.

    luxusmirajane -

    You do have a pry a bit. I tore one a little but not that big of a deal.

    Christopher -

    I think the ease of this step would be subject to the age and condition of the 3DS. Mine came out with minimal leverage using my nails.

    infmz -

    try twisting upward

    Kmi Nguyen -

    I used a super tiny metal screwdriver to push the bumper against one side and then used the screwdriver to push it up and out

    S Maduras -

    I tried tweezers but they were scraping against the plastic and I didn't want to leave any marks. Ended up using a tiny flat screwdriver to get them out like S Maduras said. Once I got them out I noticed there was a tiny bit of glue on the bottom holding them in place.

    Anth Rodi -

    My 3DS XL is so old that the rubber bumpers were very hard to remove.

    So I tried to heat the rubber bumpers a little bit with a hair dryer for 15-20 seconds, with some pauses every 5 seconds in order to avoid overheating or damaging something as a precaution.

    It worked well to remove them but the only drawback is that as my rubber bumpers already got damaged and scratched because of my previous attempts without heating first, heating it up after aggravated the scratch damages when I used tweezers.

    So I would recommend heating the rubber bumpers moderately first and be gentle when using something that could scratch or damage them.

    (Do not take my words for it, it may not work for you)

    • Quite los 6 tornillos de 6.2 mm usando un desarmador Phillips #00

    #000 ifixit philips screwdriver does not fit the 6.2mm screws. Whats the deal?

    sevenethshinobi -

    I have a 000 Phillips from tekton and it worked just fine.

    Megan -

    I stripped a good #000 screwdriver, and found that EVERY screw actually fit perfect and snug with a #00 screwdriver. Zero damage to the screws or the screwdriver with the #00.

    Vannicke Trabeitt -

    Don't buy the #000 screwdriver from this site! It's poorly made and strips the screws. I had to drill the screws out and replace them, it was very tricky and nearly broke my DS. Get a screwdriver from an electronics store.

    sharga -

    I bought and used the #00 screwdriver, and it worked perfectly for this.

    I had also bought the #000, but I never needed it during the entire operation.

    jconnell85 -

    All 6 screws are exactly the same so you don't have to worry about mixing them up.

    Christopher -

    One of the screws in my 3ds XL seems to have its '+' engraving worn off, i can't seem to unscrew it, though the other 5 unscrewed properly. What should I do?

    Potato Man -

    J000 works better here.

    Dom -

    I stripped a screw in my 3ds xl and don’t know how to get it out. Do I have to use a drill or is there another way?

    • Retira el tornillo de 2,3 mm ubicado sobre la ranura del cartucho de juego con un destornillador Phillips #00.

    between these two steps, the bottom two screws are not mentioned. make sure to take those out too ;)

    • Asegúrate de que se haya retirado la tarjeta SD. Con una herramienta de apertura de plástico, haz palanca en la carcasa inferior comenzando por el borde inferior y trabajando alrededor del perímetro.

    • Dos cables planos conectan la carcasa a la placa de circuito. Ten cuidado de no tirar demasiado fuerte de la carcasa y rasgar los cables planos.

    Make sure that you have removed your SD card, otherwise that'll keep you from completing this step.

    • Retira los cables de cinta ubicados debajo de los topes izquierdo y derecho haciendo palanca en la base de los cables con una herramienta de apertura de plástico.

    • Retira completamente la carcasa inferior del resto del dispositivo y déjela a un lado.

    The IR board is facing the wrong way.

    Jordan -

    Thank you so much for pointing that out, it was keeping my system from starting up and I thought I blew it!

    Ryan Hescock -

    Yup, that is definitely an upside-down IR board, and will result in a silent post error. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out why the system wouldn't start up.

    alexmouravskiy -

    That's it!! Thanks so much!! I've tinkered around about one month and couldn't get this thing to work...all because I've followed the guide here and looked the picture up twice so I don't put the IR-Board in the wrong way...

    chfreydank -

    Hehe. That would explain why it was not working ;-)

    boma40 -

    Thank you guys so much! I followed everything faithfully and it was DOA on startup. (Black screens, blue light). The IR board was backwards. These pictures need to be fixed. As-is, it shows a broken 3DS.

    • Coloca el dispositivo de modo que la ranura del cartucho de juego quede en la parte superior.

    • Localiza el joystick circular en el lado derecho del dispositivo.

    • Retira los dos tornillos de 7,5 mm de las esquinas superior izquierda e inferior derecha.

    This IR is bad side, diode IR must be UP

    patholog -

    Careful you don’t lose the little washer on the circle pad stem. It’s not held down by anything.

    • Con una herramienta de apertura de plástico, saca el joystick circular de la almohadilla.

    • No utilices una fuerza excesiva con la herramienta de apertura de plástico. Hay una cinta que une el joystick a la placa base y que permanecerá unida.

    • Hay una arandela suelta ubicada entre la almohadilla y el joystick circular. Ten cuidado y no pierdas esta pieza.

    I found it easy to put my finger ontop of the board and apply a little pressure. When i popped off the board, my finger stopped it flying off.

    Chris Ramsay -

    I made a small mistake by popping the circle pad joystick and it went flying off and now im stuck trying to put it back in

    • Con el lado de la cabeza plana del spudger, levanta con cuidado la solapa de retención que une la cinta de la almohadilla circular a la placa base.

    • Retira la cinta y el joystick de la almohadilla circular.

    The 'flat head' holds it in place when down, and you can reattach your ribbon cable when it's up, it only needs to be partway in so when you close the flat head, if your joystick board can't move easily in place then you've done it right, it it's too loose, try again to work the ribbon cable under.

    jconnell85 -

    The ribbon goes into the left side of the "flat head" right? Not the end that clamps down on the right? I'm having a !&&* of a time sliding the end of the ribbon into the little space between the flat head when it's up and the side of the terminal.

    Sedroc Djeddi -

    For those of you like me, who got stuck after the last step.

    To understand how to actually remove the circle pad, continue with these steps at 21.

    Reemplazo del "Circle Pad" de la Nintendo 3DS

    Hope it helps those after me. I almost ripped some cabling inside thinking I had to take out the motherboard.. luckily I didn't.

    monk333y -

    Just as what monk333y said, follow the Original 3DS steps. They are identical and you don't have to remove anymore big parts. The only annoying part is taking out the circle pad.

    luxusmirajane -

    I broke the retaining clip. It is not very strong and I used a bit too much force i think in opening the clip or pushing it back down. Thinking of using hot glue or something else to keep the circle pad ribbon in place.

    Lawrence -

    Did the hot glue work? I did the exact same thing now im not sure what to do…

    Matthew Johnson -

    How do you re attach the ribbons? do the just snap right into the motherboard?

    petraogan -

    thank you monk333y, the author of this guide needs to correct a couple of things and how hard would it be for her to add steps 21 onward from the other guide?

    S Maduras -

    step 11, if you're just replacing the button, you don't need to disconnect the circle pad ribbon from the motherboard.

    S Maduras -

    During re-assemblhy, note that the peg between the joystick mechanism and the circle pad is rectangular, and must fit into the matching rectangular socket on the circle pad.

    Dan -

    When testing the touchscreen, make sure you install the analog. Otherwise, the screen will act erratic. Thought I broke a brand new part. Just a heads up!

    Hassan Sinanan -

    The entire top part of my circle pad had broken off, so I had no problem getting the old one out. I actually had more trouble getting the ribbon cable back into the clip, and the new circle pad attached to the stick, than any other part.

    That said, this was way, way easier than I expected it to be.

    • Coloca el dispositivo de modo que la ranura del cartucho de juego quede en la parte superior.

    • Localiza la placa IR ubicada en el lado superior derecho de la placa base.

    • La placa IR está instalada al revés en estas fotos por error. Si lo instalas de esta manera, tu DS no podrá iniciarse. Ten en cuenta la orientación de su placa IR antes de quitarla y vuelve a instalarla de la misma manera.

    • Retira la placa IR con una herramienta de apertura de plástico insertando la herramienta debajo de la placa IR y haciendo palanca suavemente hacia arriba.

    The IR board appears to be upside down in this photo.

    Eric -

    One assumes they forgot to take the photo before removal and quickly put it back on upside down (accidentally) for the purposes of taking the photo.

    Retro Gaming Repair -

    Removing the IR board is actually a completely unnecessary step. It's absolutely fine to leave the IR board attached to the motherboard, it's then one less loose piece to go missing ;)

    Retro Gaming Repair -

    The reason they remove these "easily loosable" pieces is because there's an order to put the board back together or the 3DS won't turn on. This is for replacing the motherboard, which most of the time you will buy and it won't come with the microphone, volume or IR board. Use your head kiddo. If it's so easy to loose these pieces, you should keep better track of them. We might as well just not take out any screws as well because those are very easy to loose

    Miles Holiman -

    You should add this note to the other uses of this picture; I accidentally knocked that chip off and reinstalled it upside down. I was referencing the photos for replacing the joystick.

    Infernal Dalek -

    You skipped removing the microphopne.

    Mykaila Brown -

    In my 3DXL, there was no IR board: the parts were installed directly on the motherboard.

    Dan -

    I agree my 3dxl the IR board is also part of the motherboard and doesnt come off.

This guide was really helpful, I had to teardown my 3DS to remove a rice crispy that was stuck in the SD card reader, I don't know how it got there, I wasn't even eating cereals

Tony The Tiger -

was removing the analog stick really necessary?

8bitlooser -

So I have an original 3DS and a 3DS XL the 3DS Xl Works great but the 3DS won't turn on. I believe it is because I t has a missing IR Board. I am hoping to use the one on the 3DS XL. Do you think it will work?they look similar in the pictures..... Anyway I am confused as to why I have to take out the cirlepad??
