    Even though it is over-complicated, its an absolute dream when it comes to repair, since its just so modular, nintendo was feeling so generous towards repair technicians, they even omitted the tri-wing screws.
    Edit: Always test those aliexpress parts before putting everything together, the one time you don't is always the one where it ends up defective.

      Just to exchange boards is not "to repair" to me. Really to repair something means to exchange the defective electronic component, on chip-level. The point to me is that it's nearly impossible to repair those boards on chip-level. It seems to me it's impossible to get informations about the used chips nor I can buy them either. For example the PMIC. Without more informations which are necessary for repair, looks like a dead end now. Hopefully, the new "right to repair" law will lead Nintendo to give us the parts or tell us the correct numbers. Because I believe that many, maybe all, parts are just re-branded. And you can get them without problems from Digikey or so.

    The fact that exactly which solder points are used for modification has always amazed me. A prime example is the OG PlayStation. There are a gazillion solder points on the motherboard and they get changed around with each model. I got lucky once and found an OG PlayStation, Model 5501, at a thrift store for $3.00 that was already modded. I made the discovery when I was taking it apart to clean it out. As I was lifting up the motherboard I saw some electrical tape and my jaw hit the floor. Now the laser assembly was worn out and fortunately, I had a fully working 5501 and just swapped the lasers

    The screen coming with a few dead pixels is absolutely heart-breaking, but it's still an improvement from no screen working at all. My most hated part of the DS lite repair is re-connecting the thin ribbon for the bottom touch-screen over the back of the mainboard, I accidentally snapped off the bracket and the ribbon will not stay in place without it. The bracket itself is so small that I would never be able to find it and of course there's no resellers for that bracket specifically. I'm glad that (from the video) that part went smoothly for you.

    Recently I had to replace the top screen for a New 3DS XL I got for free a while ago, the hardest part for me was definitely transferring the old plastic bezel, putting back the hinge on its place and finally reattaching the screen and camera ribbon cables. I'm surprised at how straight forward the capture card installation is, I assume soldering the audio ribbon cable to the board isn't entirely necessary if you capture the audio through the headphone jack, I'm definitely giving this a shot in the future, seems like a much much easier time than the DS Lite capture I've been trying to install for some time now.

    Replacing the ds top screen is a giant pain. Replacing the 3ds top screen looks like it makes me want to question all of my life choices. Mad props to you for giving this a go

    great video, the VoiceOver sounds off, sorta like if a AI was reading the script, especially 7:45, 8:10, 10:25 - the "see you again soon" just sounds off.

    This just inspired me to try this mod out, got a really cheap Japanese 3DS with a bad R button and really rough shell, so excited

    One can certainly appreciate the level of resolve and patience put in order to achieve this remarkable refurbishment. The level of craftsmanship is commendable and inspirational. Putting more effort to replace the top screen again is certainly not preferred by most hobbyists/repairmen. Well done 👍

    Nice, what intel core does it use now or was the thumbnail lying? Clickbait sucks but at least you got to (briefly touching on) softmods. I do like the idea of a capture card in a 3DS, though I find it redundant if you're just going to softmod it anyway and presumably enable screen recording software?

    That green and black shell looks really cool! Then again, the worn-down shell it came in had some character. I might've kept it that way assuming it wasn't damaged or something.

    I have a new 3ds xl that I almost never used. And the other day when I used it I noticed a spot of humidity in the lens of the top screen. Probably I can clean it without replacing anything. But knowing that I can screw with the covers for the screws isn't a fun though...

    This is exactly what I've wanted for so so many years. It's been my gaming dream since a kid. Amazing to see the process, thanks for sharing. Is there anywhere we can buy a 3DS XL like this? (with a new shell and capture card installed)

    • @J007ack

      ebay but it'll be pretty expensive compared to a normal n3ds xl

    Really weirdly relaxing to watch this. I've been dealing with nightmare scenarios with just my modded NDSL recently, just everything going wrong especially with my touchscreen abd the Left trigger button not working. lol btw I really really hate ribbon cables.
