do the smaller new 3ds colored buttons work in the new 3ds xl?

itsandy14 - Réponse

It will work, since the only difference between them is the size of screen and shell, but size of buttons and other pieces should be of the same.

CheatJoker -

If anyone else comes on this, I can confirm the small 3ds buttons do not quite work right they are slightly smaller and the cut outs that keep the buttons from spinning around are not the same

Mark Damien English -

Can someone provide further information about replacement of the entire C stick?

Or is it just as simple as pull the ribbon carefully, take the old one out and put the new one in?

CheatJoker - Réponse

The set of screws on the secondary panel are giving me trouble. I think I might be stripping them... Is it normal for them to be screwed on so tight? I don't want to pay 85 bucks just because I need to press my B button harder to make it work...

Ben Fuqua - Réponse

One of the screw of the second set was also giving me trouble. Just press firmly and turn very slowly. As they are not supposed to be touched by the consumer, I suspect they put a kind of sealant to make them harder to unscrew.

Alex Lebeau -

One thing to note is that the kit that I received from ifixit had the c-stick nub attached to the board. As such, you'll want to remove the c-stick instead of disconnecting the ribbon.

Would be cool to provide in every section a place where users can offer a paid service to repair devices other users are afraid to repair.
