VISIBLE CRACKS, A BLACK SCREEN, OR POPPING SOUND [$60-$160]
If your system does boot up, you may get flickering or see “bleeding” on your damaged display. In some cases, turning on your 3DS will make a popping sound and turn back off
UNRESPONSIVE BUTTONS, WORN OUT ANALOGS or C-STICKS [$60-$100]
Your buttons don’t register when depressed. Shoulder buttons click but nothing happens. Plastic is showing through your worn out rubber analogs
BROKEN HINGE OR CASE DAMAGE [$60-$120]
Your hinge is broken. System may still turn on but be careful, those exposed ribbon cables are very delicate
NO CHARGING SYMBOL, BATTERY DOESN’T HOLD CHARGE [$60-80]
The charge symbol may flicker on and off as you wiggle the charging cable. A full charge just doesn’t last like it used to
NOT READING GAMES CARTRIDGES [$60-$90]
Regardless of what game you try, it never loads reliably, if at all
WATER DAMAGE [$60-$140]
Hi I wonder if you repair the new Nintendo 3ds xl.
The issue is it has dropped on the floor no visible damage maybe due to it’s got a protection case but it works for a day or so and suddenly not working anymore. And everytime it powers on a few seconds later it shuts off before the screen was able to show up and same thing when swapping a battery or power charger plug it the lights will go on a few seconds then shuts off. Please let me know what issue I might be looking at and what’s likely the repair cost thanks
Hi Yen, Sorry I missed your message. We do work on 3DSXLs. I suspect you have a damaged screen or a loose ribbon cable. Best thing to do would be to bring it to the shop for an evaluation.
Hello
The issue with my son’s 3DS xl is that it freezes. It could happen after 5 minutes or up to an hour before the screen freezes and he has to reset it. Is this fixable. Sounds like a software issue.
Hi Shane, it’s possible it’s a software issue. We would likely do a motherboard replacement to resolve your issue if we couldn’t fix it by any other means . Thanks!
Hi
The issue is with my 2DS XL, the screen has become unplayable and the is a missing R button.
Sorry Khaled, Only saw this message now. Unfortunaetly 2DS XL’s are not very repair friendly.
Hey!
I have a DS lite and when I tap the top right of the bottom screen it thinks I’m tapping the middle. Would you be able to fix that?
Hi Kristen, defintiely. You likely need a new touch screen installed.
Hey could u fix my 3ds cartridge it stops before the save can be loaded and it has alot of memories of my game and dont wanna lose my save
Hey Tyler, hmm we dont’ really fix game cartridges, YOu may want to get one of those third party cards that can export the save game so that you can just buy a new cartridge and transfer your save game on.
Hello there!! My 3DS XL turns on, however both screens are black and there is no sound. With my luck, is something simple like some loose wires, but I’d rather not mess something up trying to repair it myself. Think you folks would be able to help me?
Hi there, for sure. we work on 3ds XL’s all teh time. We can assess it and find out where the failure is.
Hi I have a water damage 3ds from yrs ago and was wondering is it possible to repair it?
Hi there,
We can always attempt a repair but it’s also a mixed bag with water damage.
How much do yall charge and the ribbon thing isn’t connected
in around the $100 mark for water damage. What do you mean the ribbon thing?
Its something on the inside of the 3ds. Sorry for the late reply. I can send pics if needed.
I can email a picture to you since I am too busy to bring it in. Could you tell me what email I am to send the picture to?
Oh sorry wrong reply thread-
Hey there,
I have a 3ds XL that I have had for over 7 years, recently the cover for one of the hinges broke off and I had lost the piece, I remember my brother having the same problem but he had managed to prevent the hinge from moving or shifting whenever he closed it by using some super/krazy glue to keep it from moving too much, so I attempted to copy what he did but I believe I may have used too much as now the right trigger will not move, is there anything I could do to dissolve the krazy glue here at home or will I need to bring it into a store to be repaired?
Hi Cael,
Yah we’d need to look at it in the store or email us a pic.

Hello there videogame repairs,
I have an original nintendo 3ds from 2011 and have broken l and r buttons. I was wondering if you can fix it.
you betcha!
Hi was wondering if you can repair a 3DS XL, it fell off the bed and hit the frame so the top screen stays black/doesnt display and the bottom is kinda fuzzy with lines I assume its the ribbon but idk. I called a more local shop they can’t find the screens to repair or know anyone that does. This particular edition is like $500+ used lol might be cheaper to fix. Any info would be appreciated.
Hi Andrew, Yes we do stock replacement screens and should be able to get you up and running again. Please follow the mail in form if sending it in.
So I have a 2ds Xl pokeball edition and the bottom screen touchscreen doesn’t work, and I’m looking to get it fixed before the e shop goes down in march, would you know what to do, or know how much it would cost to fix? I’ve tried recalibrating it and nothing happened
Hi Jacob,
You bet. We can get it working tip top. Please send an email inquiry via our contact page for the latest pricing. THanks!
Hi,
I have a 3ds that has a charging port issue when you use the charger you have to situate it in odd positions. I have tried the same cord on other devices and the cord works as normal.
I also have drift on my circle pad that isn’t fixed if I try to calibrate it. Would you be able to fix it if so what do you think it would cost?
Hi Trinity,
Yes we can fix all of those issues. Probably in around the $100 mark.
