3DS top screens are difficult to replace. Bummer this didn't work out the way it should have but glad you at least it working somewhat.

I was mad confused the min he came out from under the table in the intro lol, def liking these new intro styles

A few months back I bought a 'faulty' n3DS that wouldnt charge or turn on for about $20. I changed the battery to test, and it worked just fine. Charged as well. I thought, all it needs is a new battery. I put the battery in my other 3ds to see if it would charge JIC, and it charged just fine. So it needed no fixing, just the battery being drunk.

Defective console: Check
Replacement Parts: Check
Super sexy relaxing music: Check
Pro-montage of repair process: Check

Abruptly finish it because it didn't work? Check

Great as always

10:10 Those markings are usually an inspector's initials or ID. They have to confirm that the item/components went through QC

[ssscout]

sorry everything is a pain rn. love the videos, still entertaining.

[ykyeen]

Crazy to think those went for 200 - 300 bucks only a few years ago. Keep up the great work, mate!

6:35 “that’s glass I’m going to put that down.” *picks it up again*

[edgelord]

I'm convinced that this guy can fix anything.
I absolutely adore these types of videos

Keep the great work up!

A very talented guy indeed.

Your editing is amazing on these with all the different shots and the music just make it really relaxing. Thanks again for the awesome content.

I might be high as fuck but you made me realize repairing stuff like this isn't that difficult, most of it looks like little modules you can replace. The hard work is being patient to move and take things appart carefully, and also being extremelly organized. You did both perfectly, your video set and editing are so neat and tiddy and I can see it being reflected on your repairs as well, it's nice how some generic qualities like organization and patience can be extrapolated to all kinds fields and are always useful. All this to say, you are great at what you do and you earned my high ass as a suscriber.

[makomochi]

it's been quite some time since i've ordered a modern console in need of some love and care and attention and repair.

I heard changing the 3ds from japanese to english is a right ordeal and it can break the eshop among other things, you migth have to just list as is and sell to a collector who wants to play japanese games, or list it internationally (although japan post is completely shut right now because of Recent World Events™)

[loudkraken]

Elliot:i think it has been run over

Literally one second later:it doesn’t look like it is on too bad condition

[ThOmegaPoint]

That shell piece that's broken - I have a brand new one in the same colour that you can have for free if you like. Let me know if you want me to send it.

I recently reshelled one of these and ordered 2 by mistake. Reassembling it was incredibly painful, I hate working on the 3ds XL, it is horrific. I also had the same issue with the missing pad on my replacement screen - is that definitely not correct? Mine is missing the screen lens so I assumed that's why my 3D isn't working (I assumed the lens was a polariser).

I just grilled hamburgers. They were delicious. Pretty day, too.

My one quarantine remedy. The Retro Future. Very good job like always Elliot.
