- In this video I am disassembling my faulty Nintendo 3DS that has water damage and can't be repaired, because I needed some parts to fix other 3DS I brought.

Ah yes back in the good old days when everybody told you how to take it apart but didn't tell you how to put it back together. Loved it when youtube guides skipped like the other half of the video
I mean all you have to do is follow the same guide but backwards lol. The real danger is when you are trying to take apart a device but don't know where could a tiny ribbon cable be and snap it on accident x_x there's no coming back from that
Play the video backwards
😂😂 disassembly
Thanks, this was useful for changing my old 3ds top screen. But, god damn those ribbon cables at the corner, passing them in that tiny round hole was a nightmare.
Xitrial I’m having the same problem, currently trying to replace my speaker cable
Wait, do you have to disassemble the bottom part to pry the top plastic in front of the screen?
the fun part begins when you have to reassemble the damn thing..
Becareful removing the SD card reader on the side.
Mine has some strong adhesive holding it to the plate that resulted in me breaking one of the connections to resolder.
Use IPA 90% (min) to weaken it before prying the ready off to save yourself the extra work!
I should've read some comments this happened to me 😭
this is the best video out there and definitely saved me a lot of trouble, thanks!!
watching this in 2019 feb 25!!! So glad there are videos like this on youtube! Thanks! XDXD
Bruh the back battery screws are hard to remove. Been using force and cannot even get it out 😢
Would I be able to access the headphone jack once I disassemble most of the 3DS? My little brother managed to get a small ball bearing stuck inside the headphone jack and no amount of shaking or banging would get the metal ball out. Would I be able to push it out once disassembled?
Elijah Pardinas No. I'd suggest a thin pencil with a bit of blue tac or a magnet on the end to try and remove it.
You might have to remove it and put a new one in it's place; sorry!
Very awesome and helpful vid. Do you have a recommendation on where to get those sorts of tools?
For the screwdrivers, I'm just using ones from an eyeglass repair kit, they're the same size. The wedges to pop off the plastic screen protector can be replaced with thumb tacks, or any small wedge-able item.
I don't know about anyone else, but I've been trying to do this recently and the back screws next to the battery appear to be impossible to remove, even with a precision screwdriver.
I only need to replace my sd card tray. Do I have to take out the circle pad part or can I just take off the SD card slot and replace with another one and screw it back up?
No answet 2 years later
No need to take circle pad out... just careful remove the SD card parts. (I just took my 3ds apart today lol)
@@EliasZamora only 3 years late
10:46 Which part is this? I dropped this and I don't know where it supposed to be put back on
How do you assemble it from shell and all parts separated, to; complete, screwed together and working?
instablaster
I see everyone saying to use a 2mm Phillips head but my 3ds has three prong screw holes. What do I buy?
i do believe that the 3 prong is called tri-wing, i wouldn’t know the mm though
Thanks for the useful video I have one question where is the internal storage
what size screwdriver is being used here
I have the same 3DS as you (1st Gen), and I'm trying to unscrew the little tight screws by the battery section, any help on that? they seem to be stuck and I don't want to score it... i just need to fix a battery charging port issue (I'm pretty sure)
that's exactly what happen'd to mine!!
Same here! I’m dealing with that right now
I couldn’t open a 3ds that I was shell swapping and then I just got a slightly better precision screw set and the problem is gone. They do require a good little bit of torque the first time to remove them so I stripped two other precision bits before that so best of luck
I know this comment is old, but for the future person, use the rubber band trick. Put a rubber band between the screw and the screwdriver and turn it little by little doing a moderate pressure. This worked for me at least
I tried everything and I have one screw near the headphone jack that is still stuck!
I have a stuck screw on the shell near the headphone jack!!! I hate stuck screws and I’ve been trying to get it out for half an hour using even glue or rubber ugghhhh
Same! Any luck?
Pedroza7iHD was trying for a lot, ended up working after I used some oil on it, then I used a flathead and formed a line by banging the back of the screwdriver with my hand, then applied pressure and moved slowly until it unblocked
@@megasabri173 Ok thank you!
Pedroza7iHD you’re welcome! Hope that works for you too
Yours has different markings on the back, I'm in the us. Different country?
No, that’s how it is for me, and I live in the USA.
You earned my sub
Hey how thin was that screwdriver?
Expensive product made by very cheap hardware
But fun and it’s not much today it’s 70-80$ on eBay
man, the screws on my 3ds are so damn tight they're just not coming off...
Did you take em off? Im tryna fix my "popping sound" on two og 3ds's and an og 2ds and get passed the battery!
@@j7sportvideo24 I have the same popping sound problem but when I tried to unscrew the inner black screws they just don't come out
those back screws are IMPOSSIBLE to remove, how did you do it with ease?
If you are talking about screws under battery cover, are you sure you are using Y screwdriver?
Every website says to use a #00 Philips head screwdriver. Since this looked so successful taking the screws out, can you give me a link to that screwdriver or a good one for under $10?
Arron Pizza I got a pack of #0 #00 and #000 along with some flathead small sizes (four of them) for $6
Forgot where I got them, but I'm guessing you already solved your issue
AquaBlast nah i gave up and left it on my table so i could look at it with depression every morning
I have a 3ds xl(not new) does this break the system by disassembly?
Are you dumb?
I thought the ds flex cable is a pain in the butt
This has multiple that goes through the hinge yikes
start button , select are possible remove?
It is possible but it requires soldering skills, because buttons are on main board.
OK . thanks?
Is there any way to get a water damaged 3ds working?
best bet would be an ulltrasonic cleaner, if you don't happen to have one of those lying around, grab a soft toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol (100% isopropyl ) that can be bought cheap from a hardware store. Around the board for any areas where a lot of corrosion is present and clean if gently with the brush.
Using these methods you can fix the logic board however, the screens may be malfunctioning due to water, buttons may have gotten misaligned and solder joints weakend. A 3ds can be picked up for around £40 easily, I would personally recommend just replacing it, of course, unless there is data you desperately want to save.
It happen to me that my 3DS was caught in a rain in the garden. After that it was dead. I opened it an patiently cleaned any contact and motherboard with alchool . It than recovered.
Wish this would’ve mentioned that when you take apart the piece that houses the sad card it’s actually glued with a black adhesive with some kind of aluminum that’s pressed to the as cartridge I tore through it and now don’t know ether it’s going to effect the functionality of the whole thing, thumbs down 👎 😑
