When I was a kid I glued the “A” button down on my 3DS with superglue and got it off with some nail polish remover and to this day my parents have no idea.
Mini story time: My family once got bedbugs after staying at a friend's house. My mother took upon the task of purging the house and made me put my DSI in the freezer to kill the bugs. Three months later I thawed out my DS and it still worked. Battery of steel.
Hobbit Girly Jesus Christ I only took the back panel off of my dsi and the battery stopped working when I put the panel back on. Guess some dsi’s are stronger then others
Repair companies do this a lot. he shady ones always try to damage the item more by adding extra scratches or messing with something so then you have to spend more money repairing the items that THEY broke
I hate it so much! It's like there are NO trustworthy repair companies!!! Even in a big city like St. Petersburg (Russia) I can't fricking trust anyone! What's wrong with these guys???!!!
same problem I had... my windows surface had a problem where it wouldn't charge because I broke the charging port and it wouldn't work unless it stayed plugged in and they said they had to special order the parts and charged way more than needed then when I finally got it back the computer would not work at all so...yeah I don't trust repair shops
I was a stupid child. I broke my DSi by putting a hot wheels car on the bottom screen and slamming it shut. The worst part is that I instantly blamed it on my sister, and my parents have still never found out til this day
similar story, i smashed my dsi open with a hammer to see what was inside when i was 7. I didn't realize it had better games. All i had was spngebob and aquarium ds. I still feel bad to this day.
When I accidentally broke my DS, they did the worst thing I could've ever imagined: they fully wiped the memory card(even worse since it was a limited edition year of Luigi one with dream team) I felt so bad about it, and still to this day, I'm still really bummed about it QvQ
@@ritzboo9490 I've wiped my own 3DS before, you can, it would be in "My Downloads" or whatever its called and it would be linked to your Nintendo account.
As the other guy said, you can "redownload it" due to it being a console with a digital game included, same with a second hand 2ds i bought had new super mario bros 2
Dang everyone knows that screen flicker can be fixed by turning the one of the tiny screws in the battery compartment very slightly. They regulate the voltage to the screens.
I “accidentally” dropped my ds on the OPEN toilet. It still worked until 2018. I had it from 2006 to 2018 so i had it for like 12 years *•-•* How i broke it? Simple. *lose the charger*
I had two 3ds xls one was the original 3ds xl, and the other one was a new 3ds xl, I broke 3ds xl one by splashing water on it while cleaning the screen, and broke 3ds xl two by dropping it on a hard floor, both of them still work every so often but luckily I got a new 2ds for my birthday and it’s still alive
Yeah. On the 3ds, he outright lied. On the dead pixel ds, he failed to fix it AND stole her original screen. On the main one, he turned the whole screen pink and made it 10X WORSE. Someone needs to report them crappy scanners.
@@FreDEV_OFFICIAL I've seen Nitro Rad demonstrate that, and the custom firmware route sucks. The framerate is extremely choppy and the picture quality isn't as good.

This is the biggest reason I started to repair my own consoles. I hate dealing with other tech companies and there aren’t any good ones in my area. Many many UA-cam tutorials later I’ve successfully re shelled 2 ds lites, replaced the top screen and digitizer on one, fixed 2 Wii disc drives, and fixed a PS2 disc drive
Vasko Games all my ds lites tinted pink around the end of its life cycle, which based on how I carried my ds everywhere and it was heavily abused because I was like 9, is about a few months
Wow, learn something new I guess :) Although tbh the DS's I had were kinda badly built since I took tons of care of them and the hinges still cracked after time -_-
Vasko Games I mean every ds was badly built when I came to the hinges. Remember the gold link between world 3ds? I was sure it was top quality since it was a collectors item, but the hinge still broke a few months in. It’s my fault for playing around with a collectors item like it was just a regular ds, but it shows that hinges were always a problem with the longevity of a ds. Strange that my flip phones never broke at the hinges and I would always snap that thing out like a badass.
Neko Luis am I the only one who’s not has this problem? I’ve had 2 ds’s one dsi a 3ds and a new 3ds Xl and none of them ever had that issue! Guess I’m lucky!
The screens have to be tweaked with to get them to stop flickering, there's two Philips screw-looking spots that you turn to get it just right, on DS lite they're by the battery cover screws underneath
These "screws" are potentiometers. When the shoulder buttons of my DSi stopped working I tried to open the case to fix it myself and mistook these two for actual screws. I ended up damaging the screen as the quality got a lot fuzzier now with a transparent grayish circle in the middle. Turning the potentiometer screws helped momentarily (making the picture really saturated and colorful) before turning bad again shortly after, sometimes the colors even inverted or almost vanished completely. So if anyone intends to mess with these two "screws" I advise to be very careful and only turn them very slightly
I used to work in small electronics repair shop years ago & we always ordering parts/broken electronics on eBay…I wouldn’t be surprised if he ordered it off eBay (from China with the free shipping) honestly…(I learned a good portion of my small electronics repair skills working there & watching tutorials was a big part of it.) Repairing things can be intimidating at first but watching others do the repair and then following along is one of the best ways I’ve found to learn!

I repaired my 3ds xl when I was in middle school and I’m proud that I didn’t get someone else to repair it. I just recently had to replace the analog stick. I did end up having to buy 2 lcd screens because I accidentally ripped the cable on the first lcd after the repair. If only I wasn’t nosey and would stop opening the back case on my 3ds to inspect it.
i'm so sorry this happened! when my DS lite needed a repair for a broken hinge my dad sent it to repair and they gave it an ugly dark blue uncomfortable feeling case where the buttons worked worse than before and the buttons weren't even the problem!!!
Steampunk Goat How do People break the hinges? My First DS(lite), was really abused (sometimes thrown, or being hit), and to this day, it still is fine (exept for the hard to Press D-Pad), it was left for 5 years, in the shelf, and still had full Batterie. Now I have 15 DS Consoles, and the only Issue I had with them, were dead Pixels (that were there, when I bought it used)
i'm not sure where you might be from but maybe european cases are made of gentle fairy glass that breaks when looking at it. i swear i'm the most gentle person when it comes to handling electronics!!!
Steampunk Goat I am from europe too. It could be, that the Building Quality, just randomly increases, or decreases(like the Thing, with the IPS and TN Screens). If thats the case, I have been lucky, the whole time
Just, if there's a hole in the side, get it replaced, happened to my little bro, and something happened to my old one, it crashes and displays an annoying warning after 20 seconds of being connected to the internet. We both got replacements and turns out, ironically, we both got the inverse colors of our old 2DSs for our replacements
I had a 3ds but the hinge broke and didn't have money to fix it. Plus it was out dated so I was just gonna get a new one and then I got a 2ds. Best thing I ever got
i broke my 3DS XL last year When me and my family were going camping, i decided to bring my 3DS left it out in the rain, started up for a second, immediately shut down Tried rice, didnt work we decided to order a new 3DS XL (broken one is on the shelf, majora's mask, new one is a pikachu one, currently fine, still use it to this day)
What? I’m not a confrontational person either but I still would’ve refused to pay for that! He failed to provide the service he promised and so shouldn’t be entitled to the payment! What a dingus!
Those scam artists live and thrive off of people who are too afraid of confrontation to raise Cain over their mistakes and refuse to pay. As much as it pisses me off that they get away with it ... I do it too >_> so much. I treat it more like pay to get the hell out of here than to pay for my product, then proceed to let everyone I know to stay far away from them. But thankfully this isn’t a problem I encounter often, because I have three tech gurus in the family that help me troubleshoot most electronics problems I’m too afraid to fix myself ^^”
The frustration WAS the service, they made it out with a hefty markup, the more valuable parts of Eevee's devices, all whilst holding them hostage for months on end.
The lesson from this video is: Don't trust a random guy to fix your broken things, do it yourself or do some research to find a good guy how's really good on fixing
This is a really original topic! Usually story telling channels and such stick to really similar topics so this was fun and fresh to watch! Keep up the good work!
Your experience was *baaaaaad* the screen flickering is so very simple to fix that anyone with the barest experience could sort in minutes. I really enjoy fixing ds they're pretty simple to sort so long as you get the right parts ^^'
They are very expensive, and don't work with European/British GameCubes, so she would have to import the cables, a GameCube, and a GameBoy Player startup disc from America or Japan to be able to use them
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! It goes straight to the point,it gives a good story and it gives a video of the ds and what it actually looks like!!!!!
Having dug into a few ds systems: Ds #1: sounds like he either couldn't plug in the top screen ribbon cable completely (admittedly somewhat tricky), or he damaged the port it plugs into (really fragile and easy to do) Thr pink ds: there's actually a plastic screen or lens over the top lcd. He likely left whatever plastic covering it came with as your old screen protector may have been difficult to salvage. Also the wait time way very likely due to him ordering the case from a Chinese based seller, further supported by the cheap look. I still couldnt say what the pink screen is about for sure. It may have to deal with the capture card as I have never dealt with those. All in all this guy either didnt know what he was doing or could have been way more upfront.
RIP for your ds and thank you for the warning! I'm always leaning towards doing my own repairs but sometimes the shop prices are pretty good. Definitely going to try repair my own stuff from now on and only THEN if I break it I'll take it to the tiny repair shop 😂
I feel personally attacked because I broke one of the hinges on my 3ds xl recently and I'm too lazy to buy a new one or fix it. At least it still works.

When you change the shell on a DS, the outer protective plastic covering the LCD is usually also changed because the bezel is colored to match the case. He didn't swap your screen protectors, he changed the case like you asked. The rest I can't speak for, but it was likely either someone new to console repair fixing the problems, or just a series of unfortunate coincidences. It happens, believe me.
as i see it, this is quite a lucks story, see one of ny friendsbroke his 3ds hinge too, he went to a second hand store where he was basicly everyday and they sent it to a "trustworthy" repair shop. He never got his 3ds back, but hey he got a Dsi XL as a replacementfrom the second hand shop owner, who claimed he had given him a 3ds. later i sold him my old silver 3DS XL when i got my limited zelda new 3DS XL.
If I was in your position, I'd get some silver tape and fix the hinge myself. Would it look ugly af? Yes. Would it be less practical to use? Yes. Would it be better than being inconvenienced to go to a shady place to fix the stuff? Yes. Would it save money on both the fixing service and the new casing? Yes.
I haven't been this early. But damn. This is probably really bad.edit:NO I DONT MEAN THE VIDEO. I MEAN THE DS THING. IF ITS NOT FIXED THEN IT CAN BE REALLY BAD.

I remember my red 3DS. Ah, such a small 3DS. I had it for a long time, every since I got Pokémon alpha sapphire. After a couple years, I got a galaxy Nintendo 3DS XL. I loved it. it was so much bigger than my red one that I couldn’t even get used to my old one anymore. I still used it though, usually to trade my Pokémon over to the other game. One day, I go to elementary school feeling that I will have a normal day. After school, I went home to try and find my second charger so I could plug in my red 3DS. I couldn’t find it so I simply asked my mom where it was. She looked rather guilty and suspicious. Once again I asked what happened to it. She then told me that while I was gone, she decided to vacuum the house. She blamed it on me for this. Part of my charger was hanging a tiny bit on the groundwork from the outlet being low on the wall. She said she was trying to clean around the area of the outlet and vacuumed the charger which was now torn into pieces.
I know its been ages but, i feel sorry for you, for the charger and your mom, she shouldn't have blamed you, the socket was low she knew this and (i think) thay it would be obvious a charger on the wall,she should have seen it, its not your fault
My brother spilled water on my 1st ds and it caused the screen to be tinted red for 2 years until iy stopped working altogether. and then a few years later he threw my 3ds on the street one day and broke the hinge off of it.

Yeah there are reasons why I got a Nintendo 2Ds one they're pretty cheap 💵 and two since the 2Ds can't fold I don't have to worry getting a broken hinge
Yes I saw it too I remember commenting about that 2 years ago but I deleted my comment because it was the first time people replied to my comment so I was anxious
I had a story quite similar to this So buckle up and listen to my story. (Its a long one) So this was about 3-4 years ago and we had a broken coral pink 3DS that wouldnt turn on and had a few cracks so we decided to send it to a repair company he said it would take 2 weeks so we waited and since I had another 3DS I played some pokemon (White 2 if your interested) while waiting, finally the two weeks had been up so we called him again and he answered to us saying it’ll another week and I just went with it. (Mind you the company seemed pretty shady) 3 WHOLE MONTHS PASSED and then we got the 3DS back. Like most people would when I got the 3DS back it still wouldnt even TURN ON. At this point I was pissed and decided to leave it. We sent in a few other things as well as the 3DS and they worked perfectly fine. Thanks for listening to my story!

That’s what the repair was
DS: hinge broken
2DS: What the hell is this?
New 2ds XL: Hinges
New Nintendo 2DS XL I don't have such weaknesses
2DS XL: *Uncontrollable crying*
But the old 2ds cant close so...
They can get their screens damaged or scratched very easaliy

i'm so sorry this happened!
when my DS lite needed a repair for a broken hinge my dad sent it to repair and they gave it an ugly dark blue uncomfortable feeling case where the buttons worked worse than before and the buttons weren't even the problem!!!
Steampunk Goat How do People break the hinges? My First DS(lite), was really abused (sometimes thrown, or being hit), and to this day, it still is fine (exept for the hard to Press D-Pad), it was left for 5 years, in the shelf, and still had full Batterie. Now I have 15 DS Consoles, and the only Issue I had with them, were dead Pixels (that were there, when I bought it used)
i'm not sure where you might be from but maybe european cases are made of gentle fairy glass that breaks when looking at it.
i swear i'm the most gentle person when it comes to handling electronics!!!
Steampunk Goat I am from europe too. It could be, that the Building Quality, just randomly increases, or decreases(like the Thing, with the IPS and TN Screens). If thats the case, I have been lucky, the whole time
My 3ds xL has survived for the entirety of its lifespan ever since it was released. I have a nerd case on it and it's survived ever since
Steampunk Goat I have DS LITE too it did not break yet........
Hence why I love my 2DS. Durable little cheese wedge.
Just, if there's a hole in the side, get it replaced, happened to my little bro, and something happened to my old one, it crashes and displays an annoying warning after 20 seconds of being connected to the internet. We both got replacements and turns out, ironically, we both got the inverse colors of our old 2DSs for our replacements
thegreatcalvinio I love my New 2DS XL. Plus I love the 2DS it's so *cuuuutteeeee!!!*
I had a 3ds but the hinge broke and didn't have money to fix it. Plus it was out dated so I was just gonna get a new one and then I got a 2ds. Best thing I ever got
Lol yeah. I've dropped my 2ds more times than I've had showers and it still works perfectly!
Yea.... I have one....
I drop it on on a sharp stone.....
23 times XD
i broke my 3DS XL last year
When me and my family were going camping, i decided to bring my 3DS
left it out in the rain, started up for a second, immediately shut down
Tried rice, didnt work
we decided to order a new 3DS XL (broken one is on the shelf, majora's mask, new one is a pikachu one, currently fine, still use it to this day)
Now finally the Logan Comment bot made a comment that related to the video.
I beleive that is a battery replacement. Very easy.
try reinserting the sd card
ok nvm
@@airplane6417 rain doesn't affect the battery, its definitely a short-circuit inside that fried some electronics
@Mrsuperking UA-cam631 Same thing happened, but with sound and screen swapped (sound didnt work, screen booted up but immediately shut down)
Give me a shout if you need a hand next time!
Didn't expect to see you here!
campbell johnson Hi!
The Retro Future hello! I have a question for you, can you play game boy color games on a DMG/Gameboy light/Gameboy pocket?
OMG
What?!?! You're here?!?!
I'm so happy you started making animation videos. They are awesome!
this aint even animation, more like animatic
What? I’m not a confrontational person either but I still would’ve refused to pay for that! He failed to provide the service he promised and so shouldn’t be entitled to the payment! What a dingus!
Those scam artists live and thrive off of people who are too afraid of confrontation to raise Cain over their mistakes and refuse to pay. As much as it pisses me off that they get away with it ... I do it too >_> so much. I treat it more like pay to get the hell out of here than to pay for my product, then proceed to let everyone I know to stay far away from them.
But thankfully this isn’t a problem I encounter often, because I have three tech gurus in the family that help me troubleshoot most electronics problems I’m too afraid to fix myself ^^”
The frustration WAS the service, they made it out with a hefty markup, the more valuable parts of Eevee's devices, all whilst holding them hostage for months on end.
Dropping a DS and breaking the hinge feels like you broke the neck of the DS
The lesson from this video is:
Don't trust a random guy to fix your broken things, do it yourself or do some research to find a good guy how's really good on fixing
Just watch The Retro Future and you are good to go
@@diamondplushproductions7410 yass
JustNik 0_0 He restores and repairs old Gameboys and does a really good job at it
Crys in random repairs guy, that is accually decent
iFixit is great is you don't mind spending five bucks on parts and doing it yourself instead of buying a new ds for TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS
This is a really original topic! Usually story telling channels and such stick to really similar topics so this was fun and fresh to watch! Keep up the good work!
Your experience was *baaaaaad* the screen flickering is so very simple to fix that anyone with the barest experience could sort in minutes. I really enjoy fixing ds they're pretty simple to sort so long as you get the right parts ^^'
My 3ds snapped in half on the basement floor, and the second one glitched and will no longer turn on. Now I have one more.
I like how her hair sticks up to show how she’s feeling it’s so unique lol
About your broken ds it's a Nintendo product so blow on it
SuperDonavanbros Gaming lmao
* Blows on my 3DS *
That didnt work.
It is the corner of my case that is broken
Thats literally what I do to all my games since I have them in a Sun And Moon case and for some reason that scratches them
👍 Ayyyyyyyy
@VOTE FOR PEWDIEPIE r/woosh
Well, I'm sorry you had to go through all that just to get your DS repaired. Anyways, this is some lovely animation I'm seeing.
0:27 “only way to record gba games in good quality “
Gamecube gameboy player with component cables: Am I a joke to you?
They are very expensive, and don't work with European/British GameCubes, so she would have to import the cables, a GameCube, and a GameBoy Player startup disc from America or Japan to be able to use them
6:21 does it do the same thing when you remove the connector from the ds first rather than the laptop?
FINE. UA-cam. YOU WANT ME TO WATCH THIS I GET IT.

Wizoop fuck off know it all
Tee he
Wizoop UA-cam category at the bottom of the description: Film and ANIMATION. Even UA-cam considers this animation
Having dug into a few ds systems:
Ds #1: sounds like he either couldn't plug in the top screen ribbon cable completely (admittedly somewhat tricky), or he damaged the port it plugs into (really fragile and easy to do)
Thr pink ds: there's actually a plastic screen or lens over the top lcd. He likely left whatever plastic covering it came with as your old screen protector may have been difficult to salvage. Also the wait time way very likely due to him ordering the case from a Chinese based seller, further supported by the cheap look. I still couldnt say what the pink screen is about for sure. It may have to deal with the capture card as I have never dealt with those.
All in all this guy either didnt know what he was doing or could have been way more upfront.
RIP for your ds and thank you for the warning! I'm always leaning towards doing my own repairs but sometimes the shop prices are pretty good. Definitely going to try repair my own stuff from now on and only THEN if I break it I'll take it to the tiny repair shop 😂
I feel personally attacked because I broke one of the hinges on my 3ds xl recently and I'm too lazy to buy a new one or fix it. At least it still works.
Oreo Ocean How to fix your DS the cheapest way possible:
Step one: find the broken pieces
Step two: find super glue and electrical tape.
Step thee: use glue and tape to fix hinge.
Step four: ???
Step five: profit.

She dropped hers..did u not see the video?? Lol
@@jimmyjay689 I dropped mine down wooden stairs onto cement floor and no hinge break
It was my garage
When you change the shell on a DS, the outer protective plastic covering the LCD is usually also changed because the bezel is colored to match the case. He didn't swap your screen protectors, he changed the case like you asked. The rest I can't speak for, but it was likely either someone new to console repair fixing the problems, or just a series of unfortunate coincidences. It happens, believe me.
I worried that I wouldn't get a new 3ds but I got a New 3ds XL worth it but I have to be careful now
Lucky i dont have a nintendo 3ds but i really want one in my life so i can play pokemon oras x/y usum

Did anyone else notice that at the end her character at bottom left of the screen changed for a split second???
6:04 at x0.25 speed
as i see it, this is quite a lucks story, see one of ny friendsbroke his 3ds hinge too, he went to a second hand store where he was basicly everyday and they sent it to a "trustworthy" repair shop.
He never got his 3ds back, but hey he got a Dsi XL as a replacementfrom the second hand shop owner, who claimed he had given him a 3ds. later i sold him my old silver 3DS XL when i got my limited zelda new 3DS XL.
If I was in your position, I'd get some silver tape and fix the hinge myself.
Would it look ugly af? Yes. Would it be less practical to use? Yes. Would it be better than being inconvenienced to go to a shady place to fix the stuff? Yes. Would it save money on both the fixing service and the new casing? Yes.

I remember my red 3DS. Ah, such a small 3DS. I had it for a long time, every since I got Pokémon alpha sapphire. After a couple years, I got a galaxy Nintendo 3DS XL. I loved it. it was so much bigger than my red one that I couldn’t even get used to my old one anymore. I still used it though, usually to trade my Pokémon over to the other game. One day, I go to elementary school feeling that I will have a normal day. After school, I went home to try and find my second charger so I could plug in my red 3DS. I couldn’t find it so I simply asked my mom where it was. She looked rather guilty and suspicious. Once again I asked what happened to it. She then told me that while I was gone, she decided to vacuum the house. She blamed it on me for this. Part of my charger was hanging a tiny bit on the groundwork from the outlet being low on the wall. She said she was trying to clean around the area of the outlet and vacuumed the charger which was now torn into pieces.
game ing
I know its been ages but, i feel sorry for you, for the charger and your mom, she shouldn't have blamed you, the socket was low she knew this and (i think) thay it would be obvious a charger on the wall,she should have seen it, its not your fault
o_o
There's a reason the side of my bed where the chargers are is off limits for vacuuming. Also, damn you have a powerful vacuum.
i hate when parents blame their kids for what they obviously did
I'm recasing my old DS Lite right now!
Ordered the most beautiful Zelda housing and I'm just staring at it in my hand atm 😍
How did it go with the hinges and the ribbon cables
'my hinge broke'
Me: (vivid flashbacks)
Yep :D Fixing stuff with proper research is great!
6:23 That happened on my DS lite
SuperNintendo64 did t turn pink
The same thing happened with my brother's DS I wanted to play Mario on it so I tried to fix it myself I ended up breaking the screen......
I can't relate,not because I have 2DS,but I have never got any Nintendo.
@@kavolic why comment then idiot
"pretty much the only way to capture good gba footage"
Me: *laughs in gameboy player*
My brother spilled water on my 1st ds and it caused the screen to be tinted red for 2 years until iy stopped working altogether. and then a few years later he threw my 3ds on the street one day and broke the hinge off of it.
Lesson to be learned, never let your brother touch your stuff
My sister broke my newest ds two weeks after I got it and I had to wait almost 5 months to get it fixed. siblings are the worst.
You can stop the screen flickering by turning a small trim pot near the battery under its cover. Just don't break the pot :)
Hey, Luvie! Your videos... and stories, are amazing, even the older ones, like this! I love to rewatch them a lot, because they are amazing! You are my role model for the animation on my channel!

POV: You come back after not watching her for years
I had a story quite similar to this
So buckle up and listen to my story. (Its a long one)
So this was about 3-4 years ago and we had a broken coral pink 3DS that wouldnt turn on and had a few cracks so we decided to send it to a repair company he said it would take 2 weeks so we waited and since I had another 3DS I played some pokemon (White 2 if your interested) while waiting, finally the two weeks had been up so we called him again and he answered to us saying it’ll another week and I just went with it. (Mind you the company seemed pretty shady) 3 WHOLE MONTHS PASSED and then we got the 3DS back. Like most people would when I got the 3DS back it still wouldnt even TURN ON.
At this point I was pissed and decided to leave it.
We sent in a few other things as well as the 3DS and they worked perfectly fine.
Thanks for listening to my story!

Pretty good! Hopefully this video becomes bigger!
Why am I getting this good content recommended to me three years late?
I have 2 broken nintendo ds&dsi , both have problem in LCD. There is no more people that could service ds in my place, i have it since 2012 :") hiks.
Order screens and a triwing screwdriver on ebay and fix it :)
I still have my old ds that works from 6 years ago
