    • Unscrew the four Phillips #00 screws along the top of the back cover.

    • The screws are held in place by locking washers, and will not come out of the back cover.

    • The comments section is full of unlucky souls who will tell you that the screws here through step 4 will strip incredibly easily. Press down fairly hard, and go slow.

Where can i purchase the sd card board replacement part? Does amazon carry them?

You can usually find them on ebay to around $3 to $6 dollars (non oem and oem)

Is there a way to do this with the older 3ds xl version? I didn't see any screws holding the sd board in when I opened it up.

NickySeley - Réponse

Would this work for my problem? My problem is that the SD Card won't stay in, it just pops back out. Would this method still work? I'm not that experienced or knowledgeable about fixing these sort of things, so I'm not sure if the spring is part of it or not, lol. Also, where could I buy an SD Card board replacement part for cheap in Canada?

Usually that is the locking mechanism, you can replace the SD card slot for around $6 or $3 if you buy the non oem part.
