Introducción

Retira el panel frontal de la pantalla superior para reemplazarlo o para acceder a los componentes dentro del ensamblaje de la pantalla superior.

Si solo estás reemplazando el panel superior de la pantalla, puedes calentarlo, sacarlo e instalar uno nuevo. No es necesario desarmar todo en la parte inferior para reemplazar el cristal.

    • Desatornilla los cuatro tornillos Phillips #00 a lo largo de la parte superior de la tapa trasera.

    • Los tornillos se mantienen en su lugar mediante arandelas de seguridad y no se saldrán de la cubierta posterior.

    • La sección de comentarios está llena de almas desafortunadas que le dirán que los tornillos aquí hasta el paso 4 se quitarán increíblemente fácilmente. Presiona bastante fuerte y ve despacio.

    #00 screwdriver is too big... probably need a #000

    thomascroguennec -

    #00 will work - but you must press down firmly and sort of jerk the screw out a few degrees at a time. If you don't press firmly, the screws strip very easily. Using #000 will strip the screws more easily.

    Tai -

    I used a #0 without any issues and 0 stripped. I used the #0 for all screws internally and externally. The head was sharp and I applied adequate amounts of pressure when loosening the screw.

    Ben Kevan -

    The correct screwdriver should be a JIS, or you can get a screwdriver specific for the 3DS from other sites for less than $2

    Oscar -

    do you have to buy it

    deeznuts -

    Where would I buy a screwdriver specifically for the 3DS? Also would it work on the DS? I need to replace the battery for my DS.

    Caitlin Lumsden -

    I used Phillips #000 and it worked like a charm, i need to order a new SD board or do you guys think i should send it. What happened is that it got water damaged and everything works fine when i opened it everything looked fine no signs of water corrosion everything on the 3DS works exept it always give me a message saying the SD card is locked and i know for a fact it isnt locked i already tried using 3 different SD cards and none of them are lock protected and yes they are formatted as well. I need help

    Leo Torres -

    there's a switch on the SD card, switch it and it will be unlocked again. it happened to me once too.

    Bagel -

    david hodson you are incredible. literally all you need to do is heat the screen up and pry it off and you make them take apart the whole thing

    melody -

    You've done this?

    magykmaster -

    I have to ask the same question. If just the glass display is broken, and you're heating it up to remove the glass, is it really necessary to remove everything? Doesn't like like it is necessary

    Wade -

    I just did it your way and it went fine. didnt even have to remove the battery. This is incredible misstep on the authors part.

    patrick -

    only take out the screen for a motherboard removal? Are you using the wrong guide or was this guide used for two different repairs?

    Reed Deemer -

    I used a PH0x50, but it wasn't easy.

    John -

    This may be a dumb question but where do I buy the 3DS upper screen?

    John -

    eBay... Just do a search for the 3DS Upper screen. $9.49 & it comes with the tools.

    Gary Darnell -

    The LCD screen I ordered came with all the tools I needed except a pair of tweezers. All in all it was about $14.00 and a little bit of my time.

    Gary Darnell -

    Does anyone know where I can find the right bumper button for a 3ds? I can't find it on ebay must of damaged it playing smash bros.

    Steven Castro Parrilla -

    Really wish I had read the comments first... How about instead of the warning saying to press down hardly and go slow, you say to use the correct screwdriver size like others mentioned in the comments. I not only stripped multiple screws, even after putting a glove on for more pressure, I bent my screwdriver from pressing down so hard. Granted it's a cheap jeweler's kit screwdriver, but it still would've been nice to not have that problem and be informed of the right size in the first place.

    hockeymorgan35 -

    Got my tools one day after ordering, as I live a couple hours away from the supplier, Will post again when i try guide.

    I tried doing this with a #00 Philips but it just didn't turn

    Acrobatic Mars01 -

    Hello there, I need some assistance I have done a full housing replacement I have everything working except the 3d slider . The 3D option is always on can someone let me know which flex it is or what I am forgetting . Thanks guys !

    Noe Ibarra -

    The 3D light lets you know there is a 3D option available for the current game you’re playing. Usually, it is always on, except when you’re playing a game that doesn’t support 3D. Turning the 3D slider off does not turn off the 3D LED.

    Scott D -

    I've always been lucky with these four, and at the time it was my first disassembly so I didn't know what stripping a screw was!

    FarmYard Gaming -

    These screws don't strip easily, however, the screws at step 4 do.

    • Sostén el dispositivo con una mano y dale la vuelta.

    • Sujeta el borde superior de la cubierta posterior con la mano opuesta para que la cubierta no vuelva a caer en su lugar.

    • Voltea la 3DS nuevamente para que la cubierta posterior quede hacia arriba.

    • Tira de la tapa trasera hacia arriba y hacia afuera del resto del dispositivo para quitarla.

    • Retira los nueve tornillos Phillips negros de 6,3 mm de la carcasa inferior.

    • Estos tornillos no se desprenderán muy fácilmente a menos que use la broca del tamaño correcto. Aplica presión a los tornillos mientras los gira para evitar que se rompan.

    • Retira el tornillo Phillips plateado de 2,4 mm que se encuentra sobre la ranura del cartucho de juego.

    Had to give up at this point. Tried using the ifixit #00 phillips screwdriver to take out two screws and ended up stripping them.

    Demios -

    Stuck at the same spot, those screws are in there really tight.

    John Pasula -

    Ruined my screws because of incorrect head, thanks!

    3dsuser -

    I had so much trouble with these screws, I gave up. Unfortunately, I can't accept failure so tried again. I figured out if you turn it right before you loosen it worked. Maybe it was just me, but I turned it right then kept pressure as I turned to loosen. I was surprised I hadn't stripped any screws out.

    Nicole Bauer -

    Does anyone have any idea of how to remove these screws. I've pretty badly stripped the screws and I've gone to 20+ pages trying to figure this. I'm considering just prying the !@#$ thing.

    Vino -

    use a dremil and make it a flat head

    Ralph Prowant -

    ruined my screws here too...what the !@#$ nintendo?

    trying to survive a nuclear meltdown inside the !@#$ thing

    Hamza Jarkas -

    More like trying to subtly enforce planned obsolescence by not allowing you to make repairs to your device.

    Ullyssys -

    I used a #00 Philips 1/8" bit with no problem; however, the narrow diameter of the counter sunk hole can inhibit making secure contact with the screw head. You can be using the right bit (#00) but if the diameter of the bit shaft is too big you won't get proper contact.

    I found this to be an excellent guide. Thanks

    Dave W -

    If anyone can point me to a link to purchase the 9 screws, let me know. Contacted Nintendo and they said I'd have to send it in. Email me at xavierfflores@gmail.com

    Xavier Flores -

    Unscrewed the nine 6.3 mm screws using the J000 bit from the iFixit 54 bit driver kit without much effort & without stripping the screw heads. Just gotta really position the bit correctly on the screw to have a proper fitting & not strip the screw heads.

    STZ9 -

    The screws didn't strip but the philips screw driver did? @__@

    These are rough either way.

    John Zhou -

    I used a "Whia 273 - PH000x40" screwdriver and held it firmly pushing the palm of my hand on the yellow end of the screwdriver and rocked the screw slightly (counter clockwise and clockwise) until it started to move. Then, without letting up on the pressure I carefully backed it out. The screwdriver is excellent because it is hardened (unlike some cheapo's out there) and the very tip is blunt not sharp. If the tip is too sharp, the point will bottom out in the screw and the sides that do all the work, won't be able to fully contact the inside of the screw. This screwdriver fits so well that the screws actually stick to it once they are removed. If the screwdriver moves AT ALL when you initially try it in the screw, STOP and find a better one. Also, start with the screws in the center, somehow they seem a little easier until you get the feel for it.

    Paul -

    Push down hard and turn counter-clockwise, or push down and rotate 3DS counter-clockwise until screw is loose.

    Jonathan -

    Had the exact same problem, even tried the #000 screw driver too. Stripped the screws due to how tightly they are screwed in there and how easy they strip. I am now unsure what to do from here or if all I can do is give up.

    Sean Baldwin -

    I second the one who suggested the Whia 273 PH000x40 screwdriver. I had a terrible time unscrewing these screws, and almost stripped them using a cheaper #000 screwdriver. Also tried a 3/16" flathead and destroyed the screwdriver. I bought the Whia and glad I did. It fit perfectly and did not slip at all. DEFINITELY recommend purchasing this high-quality screwdriver. Cost about $10 but well worth it to avoid the hassle.

    pbrazis -

    The best way I found that works quite well, if you find a screwdriver or bit that is good enough: hold the screwdriver or bit with tons of pressure, and rotate the 3DS clockwise! It will come out in 5-6 rotations, you can do this step in about 10 minutes this way (put down a cloth first, don't scratch the front!)

    Gannon Trueman -

    I HAVE A WAY TO GET OUT THE STRIPED SCREW. Like you, I had screwed up and tried everything to get the screw out. Do NOT try the glue in that tiny hole, you will get the screw glued permanently in there. The rubber band doesn't work in that tight space either. As desperate as I was, I was trying anything from nail polish to cramming the screw driver in as hard as I possible could. Until I realized that I had a drill. Yes, with the smallest head, I drilled into the screw a little bit, messed with the part I was trying to get out, drilled a little more, messed around, and then finally on my last attempt, I had successfully drilled off the top of the screw rendering the part free. It doesn't matter which drill you use as long as you can fit the head into the hole. Then drill forward like you are trying to drill a hole through wood. Now the only problem is that the remainder of the screw will be stuck in its place. All you really have to do is get a set of pliers and twist that puppy out. And there you go!

    YuuChan -

    Most likely though, if you have all the other screws out and only have one striped screw, the part should just pop off and you wouldn't have to drill the entire head off the screw.

    YuuChan -

    Got a brand new #00 screw drive and it striped the first time used it. So now I'm using eyeglass repair kit screw driver and it lasts longer that the one I got of of eBay.

    Acrobatic Mars01 -

    And I tried all of those tactics that people have been giving and none of them are working.

    Acrobatic Mars01 -

    The wiha 273 PH #000×40 unsrews it easily! It has a magnet on it!

    FRØSTBIT3 -

    Oh god, someone help i can’t get them out.

    Mark LaPierre -

    omg everyone is struggling in here smh. I used my PH000 screwdriver made sure it went in aligned to the screws and applied pressure while turning counterclockwise. once it started the screw started lifting i stopped applying pressure and they lifted beautifully. saved damaging my screws with this technique. I also used the same screwdriver size to remove the orange screw where the game slot is. Yall are welcome lol

    • Levanta el borde inferior de la caja inferior del resto de la 3DS.

    • Todavía hay dos cables de cinta que conectan la placa base a la carcasa, así que asegúrate de no sacar la carcasa inferior por completo.

    • Usa una herramienta de apertura de plástico para hacer palanca en los cables planos de los botones laterales de sus zócalos en la placa base.

    • Retira la carcasa inferior del dispositivo.

    When assembling, make sure that L ribbon is inside the case and R ribbon is not under the aluminium battery case. I got them both cut accidentally and had to replace :(

    my screws wont stop spining what to i do? i have the same problem with other screws and this leavs my joystick very loss and it is dificult to muve it becuase it is aganst the case not lifted up? any sugestions? (sorry for my bad speling jaja im very bad at speling..)

    AppleTopic -

    I think you stripped your screws. I think the best solution is to change the upper cover of the lower assembly and the screws. The fastest, but temporarily is to stick in some way the joystick housing to the cover, but it won’t last long, so do this only if you have to use your console while you wait the cover to come. Anyway, so not overtighten the new screws, or you will be in the same situation once again.

    • Usa el extremo plano de un spudger para sacar la parte posterior del Circle Pad de la placa base.

    • Levanta el joystick Circle Pad de la placa base y colócalo boca arriba de modo que se pueda acceder al conector del cable plano.

    When reassembling verify that the circle pad control is oriented right. I had to go back in after completion when I realized it wasn't centered.

    Daniel Johnson -

    I would not disable the back side all the way because it could really mess up your 3DS.

    • Para disminuir la posibilidad de perderlo durante las reparaciones, es posible que desees quitar las dos almohadillas delgadas debajo del joystick Circle Pad.

    • Usa un spudger o un destornillador para levantar las almohadillas y sacarlas del dispositivo.

    When reassembling, you can use the pointy end of the spudger to align the hold again with the joystick. It’ll probably have bounced around while you’re moving other things.

    • Pasa el spudger por los lados de la placa SD para liberarla de la almohadilla adhesiva que la mantiene en su lugar.

    • Una vez liberada por completo, levanta la placa SD directamente de la placa base.

    be careful on this step, the sd card board is adhered to the rf shield below it, and bay result in the shield becoming bent as it is only soldered on one side. pry from the side of the board facing the cartridge slot.

    • Asegúrate de hacer palanca en la aleta de retención con bisagras, NO en el enchufe en sí. Si dañas el enchufe o el cable, la 3DS hará que su LED de encendido parpadee cuando presiones el botón de encendido y no hará nada más.

    • Desconecta el cable plano del ensamblaje del altavoz con un par de pinzas.

    Can there be a guide on how to replace this part? I pry on the socket accidentally.

    im just a Ordinary marker -

    I don't even know where they sell a new socket for this, but you'd need to have a soldering station and know how to micro solder. assuming no pads where ripped off then you'd just solder it back down. if a pad broke then you'd need to run jumpers to fix it. in short its very difficult and expensive to fix unless you have the know how and the tools already.

    • Asegúrate de hacer palanca en la solapa de retención con bisagras, no en el enchufe en sí.

    • Al volver a armar, ten en cuenta que los contactos dorados miran hacia la placa base (a diferencia de los contactos dorados del cable de la cámara que miran hacia afuera).

    Be sure to fit the motherboard inbetween the joystick and volume slider in properly (you can double check by seeing if the volume slider on the outside goes up and down smoothly). When I closed it the first time it was stuck on full volume so I needed to go back in and readjust!

    Veronika Todd -

    When putting the cable back I recommend to open the 3ds while keeping it face down so the cable has more room to fit.

    Roberto Cantu -

    Thank you so much, opening the 3ds is needed to fit the cable back easily.

    • Cuatro tornillos dorados de 2,5 mm

    • Dos tornillos negros de 3,5 mm

    • Un tornillo plateado de 2,5 mm.

    • Cuando quites este tornillo, el control deslizante de volumen puede caerse.

    • Levanta el lado de la placa base que se encuentra a lo largo del borde inferior de la 3DS.

    Do yourself a favor and DON'T remove the 2.5 mm silver screw (yellow circle). It just holds in a little plastic bit under the volume control. The board comes out just fine with the screw still in. If you remove it, the plastic bit will fall out at random when you turn over the case.

    First time I took mine apart, I noticed something fall out later, tracked it down and then puzzled over what it was and where it came from.

    Reinserting this ribbon cable is quite difficult. I found opening the case so that it sits upright at a 90 degree angle helps. The first two times I tried reassembling the top display did not work. Turned out that I was not inserting the ribbon cable in enough. I used tweezers to push this in by gently grabbing the ribbon cable. I was continually inspecting the cable for damage but apparently did not damage it. If anyone has a better idea on how to reinsert this cable I think others would greatly appreciate it.

    pbrazis -

    Putting the cable back in is the hardest part out of all of this (if you can get past the screws near the beginning). If you have a friend that you trust very much and is very gentle, another pair of hands here really will help. If you're without a friend, make sure to use some flat, angled precision tweezers to push the ribbon in with one hand (pointed tweezers will do in a pinch but you'll have to be careful - I put a small dent in the ribbon and thought I'd broke it), and then use a spudge or something in the other to push the flap down.

    Also worth noting is that the ribbon for the top screen also handles the 3D - if you complete the guide and find you are unable to turn the 3D effect off, you didn't insert the ribbon enough, as I had the problem and re-inserting the ribbon fully fixed it.

    malcolmdemaggio -

    Careful when reassembling -- watch the position of the black wifi antenna wire! I got mine most of the way back together and noticed it wouldn't close all the way. This wire had come out of the little posts holding it in place and was wedged between the screen and motherboard. Now I have to take it all apart again to fix this.

    Also if you're taking the board out of a working unit to get at the CLK signal to backup the NAND chip ("hardmod"), you don't need to remove the difficult ribbon cable in this step, or the other two wide ones at the top right from earlier. Leave them attached and swing the board out. It won't rotate a full 180 degrees to sit flat outside the unit, but you can open the screen 90 degrees to prop the rest up while having the board out on your table.

    Chupi -

    I recommend not taking it off in the first place, as reattaching it is awfully difficult. You can easily clean out your abxy buttons with it still attached

    Martin -

    I am having problems re-inserting the three ribbon cables (3DS XL). Do you need to flip up the retaining flaps first? (I just pulled them out of the slots when removing them.

    darren.brundell -

    if the flap for the ribbon cable breaks what do you do

    lionmine ____ -

    who else felt really proud after finally reinserting the cable

    Harrison Rigg -

    The easiest way to get that ribbon back in is to hold it with some reverse tweezers that I fix it sells and use it to grab the ribbon and hold it while you fiddle with getting the ribbon in the slot. It’s super easy this way. You’ll have it installed in 36 seconds. Try it. (Reverse tweezers…press to release ones)

    • Retire el conjunto de la placa base del resto del dispositivo.

    Make sure when putting the motherboard back onto the bottom part of the casing that the antenna wire is where it should be - the first time I put this back together the wire got loose and was smooshed in between the casing and the Y and Power buttons, causing them to be stiff/not work. Using the spudge should help in pushing the wire back into the slots along the inside of the case.

    • Este paso no es necesario si solo estás reemplazando el panel frontal; sin embargo, el reemplazo de la pantalla superior, altavoces, cámaras y antena Wi-Fi lo requieren.

    • Calienta los bordes del panel frontal superior de la pantalla con un secador de pelo o una pistola de aire caliente para ablandar el adhesivo que lo sujeta al bisel de la pantalla.

    • Comienza haciendo palanca en los bordes del panel frontal con una herramienta de apertura de plástico.

    • Si es difícil sacar el panel frontal haciendo palanca, vuelve a calentar el área en la que estás trabajando con la pistola de aire caliente y luego vuelve a hacer palanca. Aplicar una fuerza excesiva podría romper el panel frontal.

    Maybe a dumb question, but how would I go about reattaching the top screen if it's attached to the 3ds by an adhesive? If I have to use more adhesive to put it back on, what would be the recommended kind to do so?

    I have the same question/concern that "jgonsoski" has. Is the adhesive on the front panel still usable after it's pried off the display bezel? Or does it have to be removed? If so, what adhesive can be used or is suitable to adhere back the front panel to the display bezel?

    adhesive is definitely reusable. I just completed this step. Please make sure the new display is ready to take the tape as soon as you remove it from the old display.

    Disclaimer: I replaced my front panel entirely, and threw away the old one.

    If you do not have a replacement front panel, gently removing it (without getting the adhesive oily from your fingers/dusty) and replacing it is an option. The adhesive is incredibly tacky, and while removing the front panel will weaken the adhesive - it will likely be sticky enough to do its job. If not, double-sided tape or small amounts of water based craft glue may help (disclaimer again: I haven't tried these)- do NOT use superglues/liquid cements/epoxies.

    • Continúa haciendo palanca en los lados restantes del panel frontal deslizando la herramienta de apertura de plástico hacia abajo en cada borde.

    • Muy poco calor resultará en una flexión/rotura excesiva del panel frontal, y demasiado derretirá y destruirá la pantalla LCD que se encuentra debajo. Tomate tu tiempo.

    BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO MELT THE SPEAKERS. This happened to me and now one of the plastic covers for the speakers is melted inside the speaker itself, despite the display cover being undamaged. It is made of a much thinner plastic and i assume it heats up faster.

    • Con todos los lados libres, levanta el panel frontal de la pantalla superior del bisel de la pantalla.

Why remove the entire motherboard just for the upper screen? That seems completely unnecessary; just be careful with the heat gun.

Bryan Haley -

Tehy remove the whole motherboard because if you pay attention ribbon cables attaching things from the top to the bottom, like the ribbon cable for the lcd that you cant remove from its socket without removing the other parts. They even have pictures on these guides… just focus a little more on paying attention and you will be alright

Just to replace the front panel you don’t need to remove anything else, its just held down with adhesive, only reason to take apart is to replace the lcd itself which isn’t what this is about.
