Mini story time: My family once got bedbugs after staying at a friend's house. My mother took upon the task of purging the house and made me put my DSI in the freezer to kill the bugs. Three months later I thawed out my DS and it still worked. Battery of steel.
Hobbit Girly Jesus Christ I only took the back panel off of my dsi and the battery stopped working when I put the panel back on. Guess some dsi’s are stronger then others
When I was a kid I glued the “A” button down on my 3DS with superglue and got it off with some nail polish remover and to this day my parents have no idea.
I broke the hinge on mine as well, but my uncle fixed it up easily. he took a small metal wire and managed to reattach it that way. worked as good as new.
Repair companies do this a lot. he shady ones always try to damage the item more by adding extra scratches or messing with something so then you have to spend more money repairing the items that THEY broke
I hate it so much! It's like there are NO trustworthy repair companies!!! Even in a big city like St. Petersburg (Russia) I can't fricking trust anyone! What's wrong with these guys???!!!
same problem I had... my windows surface had a problem where it wouldn't charge because I broke the charging port and it wouldn't work unless it stayed plugged in and they said they had to special order the parts and charged way more than needed then when I finally got it back the computer would not work at all so...yeah I don't trust repair shops
When I accidentally broke my DS, they did the worst thing I could've ever imagined: they fully wiped the memory card(even worse since it was a limited edition year of Luigi one with dream team) I felt so bad about it, and still to this day, I'm still really bummed about it QvQ
@@ritzboo9490 I've wiped my own 3DS before, you can, it would be in "My Downloads" or whatever its called and it would be linked to your Nintendo account.
As the other guy said, you can "redownload it" due to it being a console with a digital game included, same with a second hand 2ds i bought had new super mario bros 2
This is the biggest reason I started to repair my own consoles. I hate dealing with other tech companies and there aren’t any good ones in my area. Many many TH-cam tutorials later I’ve successfully re shelled 2 ds lites, replaced the top screen and digitizer on one, fixed 2 Wii disc drives, and fixed a PS2 disc drive
I was a stupid child. I broke my DSi by putting a hot wheels car on the bottom screen and slamming it shut. The worst part is that I instantly blamed it on my sister, and my parents have still never found out til this day

I “accidentally” dropped my ds on the OPEN toilet. It still worked until 2018. I had it from 2006 to 2018 so i had it for like 12 years *•-•* How i broke it? Simple. *lose the charger*
I had two 3ds xls one was the original 3ds xl, and the other one was a new 3ds xl, I broke 3ds xl one by splashing water on it while cleaning the screen, and broke 3ds xl two by dropping it on a hard floor, both of them still work every so often but luckily I got a new 2ds for my birthday and it’s still alive

Vasko Games I mean every ds was badly built when I came to the hinges. Remember the gold link between world 3ds? I was sure it was top quality since it was a collectors item, but the hinge still broke a few months in. It’s my fault for playing around with a collectors item like it was just a regular ds, but it shows that hinges were always a problem with the longevity of a ds. Strange that my flip phones never broke at the hinges and I would always snap that thing out like a badass.
Neko Luis am I the only one who’s not has this problem? I’ve had 2 ds’s one dsi a 3ds and a new 3ds Xl and none of them ever had that issue! Guess I’m lucky!

I replaced the screen on my little brother's laptop. And you know what? It worked out well. In other words, *shady repair shops should be avoided at all costs. Check the reviews before you try it.*
Erick Mendoza I was at a hotel once a few years ago and I was playing on my iPad on the toilet, I dropped my iPad and it gave me dead pixels in the middle of the screen, in early 2018 my mother gave me a case and gave me her iPad because she has a new iPad, I'm still using it to this very day.
This is a really original topic! Usually story telling channels and such stick to really similar topics so this was fun and fresh to watch! Keep up the good work!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! It goes straight to the point,it gives a good story and it gives a video of the ds and what it actually looks like!!!!!
Your experience was *baaaaaad* the screen flickering is so very simple to fix that anyone with the barest experience could sort in minutes. I really enjoy fixing ds they're pretty simple to sort so long as you get the right parts ^^'
Just, if there's a hole in the side, get it replaced, happened to my little bro, and something happened to my old one, it crashes and displays an annoying warning after 20 seconds of being connected to the internet. We both got replacements and turns out, ironically, we both got the inverse colors of our old 2DSs for our replacements
I had a 3ds but the hinge broke and didn't have money to fix it. Plus it was out dated so I was just gonna get a new one and then I got a 2ds. Best thing I ever got
I repaired my 3ds xl when I was in middle school and I’m proud that I didn’t get someone else to repair it. I just recently had to replace the analog stick. I did end up having to buy 2 lcd screens because I accidentally ripped the cable on the first lcd after the repair. If only I wasn’t nosey and would stop opening the back case on my 3ds to inspect it.
RIP for your ds and thank you for the warning! I'm always leaning towards doing my own repairs but sometimes the shop prices are pretty good. Definitely going to try repair my own stuff from now on and only THEN if I break it I'll take it to the tiny repair shop 😂
The screens have to be tweaked with to get them to stop flickering, there's two Philips screw-looking spots that you turn to get it just right, on DS lite they're by the battery cover screws underneath
These "screws" are potentiometers. When the shoulder buttons of my DSi stopped working I tried to open the case to fix it myself and mistook these two for actual screws. I ended up damaging the screen as the quality got a lot fuzzier now with a transparent grayish circle in the middle. Turning the potentiometer screws helped momentarily (making the picture really saturated and colorful) before turning bad again shortly after, sometimes the colors even inverted or almost vanished completely. So if anyone intends to mess with these two "screws" I advise to be very careful and only turn them very slightly
The lesson from this video is: Don't trust a random guy to fix your broken things, do it yourself or do some research to find a good guy how's really good on fixing
i'm so sorry this happened! when my DS lite needed a repair for a broken hinge my dad sent it to repair and they gave it an ugly dark blue uncomfortable feeling case where the buttons worked worse than before and the buttons weren't even the problem!!!
Steampunk Goat How do People break the hinges? My First DS(lite), was really abused (sometimes thrown, or being hit), and to this day, it still is fine (exept for the hard to Press D-Pad), it was left for 5 years, in the shelf, and still had full Batterie. Now I have 15 DS Consoles, and the only Issue I had with them, were dead Pixels (that were there, when I bought it used)
i'm not sure where you might be from but maybe european cases are made of gentle fairy glass that breaks when looking at it. i swear i'm the most gentle person when it comes to handling electronics!!!
Steampunk Goat I am from europe too. It could be, that the Building Quality, just randomly increases, or decreases(like the Thing, with the IPS and TN Screens). If thats the case, I have been lucky, the whole time
What? I’m not a confrontational person either but I still would’ve refused to pay for that! He failed to provide the service he promised and so shouldn’t be entitled to the payment! What a dingus!
Those scam artists live and thrive off of people who are too afraid of confrontation to raise Cain over their mistakes and refuse to pay. As much as it pisses me off that they get away with it ... I do it too >_> so much. I treat it more like pay to get the hell out of here than to pay for my product, then proceed to let everyone I know to stay far away from them. But thankfully this isn’t a problem I encounter often, because I have three tech gurus in the family that help me troubleshoot most electronics problems I’m too afraid to fix myself ^^”
The frustration WAS the service, they made it out with a hefty markup, the more valuable parts of Eevee's devices, all whilst holding them hostage for months on end.

Having dug into a few ds systems: Ds #1: sounds like he either couldn't plug in the top screen ribbon cable completely (admittedly somewhat tricky), or he damaged the port it plugs into (really fragile and easy to do) Thr pink ds: there's actually a plastic screen or lens over the top lcd. He likely left whatever plastic covering it came with as your old screen protector may have been difficult to salvage. Also the wait time way very likely due to him ordering the case from a Chinese based seller, further supported by the cheap look. I still couldnt say what the pink screen is about for sure. It may have to deal with the capture card as I have never dealt with those. All in all this guy either didnt know what he was doing or could have been way more upfront.
They are very expensive, and don't work with European/British GameCubes, so she would have to import the cables, a GameCube, and a GameBoy Player startup disc from America or Japan to be able to use them

i broke my 3DS XL last year When me and my family were going camping, i decided to bring my 3DS left it out in the rain, started up for a second, immediately shut down Tried rice, didnt work we decided to order a new 3DS XL (broken one is on the shelf, majora's mask, new one is a pikachu one, currently fine, still use it to this day)
If I was in your position, I'd get some silver tape and fix the hinge myself. Would it look ugly af? Yes. Would it be less practical to use? Yes. Would it be better than being inconvenienced to go to a shady place to fix the stuff? Yes. Would it save money on both the fixing service and the new casing? Yes.
I had a story quite similar to this So buckle up and listen to my story. (Its a long one) So this was about 3-4 years ago and we had a broken coral pink 3DS that wouldnt turn on and had a few cracks so we decided to send it to a repair company he said it would take 2 weeks so we waited and since I had another 3DS I played some pokemon (White 2 if your interested) while waiting, finally the two weeks had been up so we called him again and he answered to us saying it’ll another week and I just went with it. (Mind you the company seemed pretty shady) 3 WHOLE MONTHS PASSED and then we got the 3DS back. Like most people would when I got the 3DS back it still wouldnt even TURN ON. At this point I was pissed and decided to leave it. We sent in a few other things as well as the 3DS and they worked perfectly fine. Thanks for listening to my story!
as i see it, this is quite a lucks story, see one of ny friendsbroke his 3ds hinge too, he went to a second hand store where he was basicly everyday and they sent it to a "trustworthy" repair shop. He never got his 3ds back, but hey he got a Dsi XL as a replacementfrom the second hand shop owner, who claimed he had given him a 3ds. later i sold him my old silver 3DS XL when i got my limited zelda new 3DS XL.
I've never had this problem at all and I used the hell out of my original Nintendo DS, DS Lite and 3DS and they're still in perfect shape. Guess I'm lucky.
When you change the shell on a DS, the outer protective plastic covering the LCD is usually also changed because the bezel is colored to match the case. He didn't swap your screen protectors, he changed the case like you asked. The rest I can't speak for, but it was likely either someone new to console repair fixing the problems, or just a series of unfortunate coincidences. It happens, believe me.
I remember my red 3DS. Ah, such a small 3DS. I had it for a long time, every since I got Pokémon alpha sapphire. After a couple years, I got a galaxy Nintendo 3DS XL. I loved it. it was so much bigger than my red one that I couldn’t even get used to my old one anymore. I still used it though, usually to trade my Pokémon over to the other game. One day, I go to elementary school feeling that I will have a normal day. After school, I went home to try and find my second charger so I could plug in my red 3DS. I couldn’t find it so I simply asked my mom where it was. She looked rather guilty and suspicious. Once again I asked what happened to it. She then told me that while I was gone, she decided to vacuum the house. She blamed it on me for this. Part of my charger was hanging a tiny bit on the groundwork from the outlet being low on the wall. She said she was trying to clean around the area of the outlet and vacuumed the charger which was now torn into pieces.
I know its been ages but, i feel sorry for you, for the charger and your mom, she shouldn't have blamed you, the socket was low she knew this and (i think) thay it would be obvious a charger on the wall,she should have seen it, its not your fault
I remember one time for Christmas I got a Kindle Fire. I was so excited that I used it for most of the day. But the day before my birthday of the next year, it wouldn't start up. I was really sad, but luckily my mom was able to exchange the tablet without paying for the new one. I got it a few days later, and the tablet itself worked fine, but the screen was weird. Every time I moved from app to app or I moved around the game, it left a faint picture of what I had done before. We exchanged the Kindle again, and it worked for a while, but then it didn't work. We had to get like 1 or 2 more replacement Kindles until it finally stayed. The one I use now is the one I love. By the way, I can't stop watching this video! The animation and artwork is amazing!
Yeah there are reasons why I got a Nintendo 2Ds one they're pretty cheap 💵 and two since the 2Ds can't fold I don't have to worry getting a broken hinge
I feel personally attacked because I broke one of the hinges on my 3ds xl recently and I'm too lazy to buy a new one or fix it. At least it still works.

That dead pixel thing happened on my 3ds, I was scared that I would need a new one, but after a few weeks it fixed itself. I was so relieved
Erick Mendoza I was at a hotel once a few years ago and I was playing on my iPad on the toilet, I dropped my iPad and it gave me dead pixels in the middle of the screen, in early 2018 my mother gave me a case and gave me her iPad because she has a new iPad, I'm still using it to this very day.
This is a really original topic! Usually story telling channels and such stick to really similar topics so this was fun and fresh to watch! Keep up the good work!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! It goes straight to the point,it gives a good story and it gives a video of the ds and what it actually looks like!!!!!
I'm so happy you started making animation videos. They are awesome!
this aint even animation, more like animatic
Your experience was *baaaaaad* the screen flickering is so very simple to fix that anyone with the barest experience could sort in minutes. I really enjoy fixing ds they're pretty simple to sort so long as you get the right parts ^^'
Hence why I love my 2DS. Durable little cheese wedge.
Just, if there's a hole in the side, get it replaced, happened to my little bro, and something happened to my old one, it crashes and displays an annoying warning after 20 seconds of being connected to the internet. We both got replacements and turns out, ironically, we both got the inverse colors of our old 2DSs for our replacements
thegreatcalvinio I love my New 2DS XL. Plus I love the 2DS it's so *cuuuutteeeee!!!*
I had a 3ds but the hinge broke and didn't have money to fix it. Plus it was out dated so I was just gonna get a new one and then I got a 2ds. Best thing I ever got
Lol yeah. I've dropped my 2ds more times than I've had showers and it still works perfectly!
Yea.... I have one....
I drop it on on a sharp stone.....
23 times XD
I repaired my 3ds xl when I was in middle school and I’m proud that I didn’t get someone else to repair it. I just recently had to replace the analog stick. I did end up having to buy 2 lcd screens because I accidentally ripped the cable on the first lcd after the repair. If only I wasn’t nosey and would stop opening the back case on my 3ds to inspect it.
How to fix the hinge [easy]
* Just put clay on the broken hinge
There ur finished
Put ramen
@jude andrei calle its a joke
@Mentionist thanks it worked !
@Black Slenderman no, it has no GBA support.
ALL HAIL THE GBA
No. This is incorrect and the hinges have electronics in them and putting clay around it wont allow it to fold or it won’t hold.
welp I couldn't fix my DS because it *literally snapped in half*
My 3ds to
Now you have a GBA XL huuzaahh!
Rip
Same
Same, mine fell from a high part of the closet
The "dead" pixels were probably just stuck. It happens sometimes with LCD screens.
RIP for your ds and thank you for the warning! I'm always leaning towards doing my own repairs but sometimes the shop prices are pretty good. Definitely going to try repair my own stuff from now on and only THEN if I break it I'll take it to the tiny repair shop 😂
Well, I'm sorry you had to go through all that just to get your DS repaired. Anyways, this is some lovely animation I'm seeing.
Give me a shout if you need a hand next time!
Didn't expect to see you here!
campbell johnson Hi!
The Retro Future hello! I have a question for you, can you play game boy color games on a DMG/Gameboy light/Gameboy pocket?
OMG
What?!?! You're here?!?!
I'd love to see more animations like this!
They aren't animations
They're Animatics

The screens have to be tweaked with to get them to stop flickering, there's two Philips screw-looking spots that you turn to get it just right, on DS lite they're by the battery cover screws underneath
!! That's good to know!!
These "screws" are potentiometers.
When the shoulder buttons of my DSi stopped working I tried to open the case to fix it myself and mistook these two for actual screws. I ended up damaging the screen as the quality got a lot fuzzier now with a transparent grayish circle in the middle. Turning the potentiometer screws helped momentarily (making the picture really saturated and colorful) before turning bad again shortly after, sometimes the colors even inverted or almost vanished completely.
So if anyone intends to mess with these two "screws" I advise to be very careful and only turn them very slightly
The lesson from this video is:
Don't trust a random guy to fix your broken things, do it yourself or do some research to find a good guy how's really good on fixing
Just watch The Retro Future and you are good to go

i'm so sorry this happened!
when my DS lite needed a repair for a broken hinge my dad sent it to repair and they gave it an ugly dark blue uncomfortable feeling case where the buttons worked worse than before and the buttons weren't even the problem!!!
Steampunk Goat How do People break the hinges? My First DS(lite), was really abused (sometimes thrown, or being hit), and to this day, it still is fine (exept for the hard to Press D-Pad), it was left for 5 years, in the shelf, and still had full Batterie. Now I have 15 DS Consoles, and the only Issue I had with them, were dead Pixels (that were there, when I bought it used)
i'm not sure where you might be from but maybe european cases are made of gentle fairy glass that breaks when looking at it.
i swear i'm the most gentle person when it comes to handling electronics!!!
Steampunk Goat I am from europe too. It could be, that the Building Quality, just randomly increases, or decreases(like the Thing, with the IPS and TN Screens). If thats the case, I have been lucky, the whole time
My 3ds xL has survived for the entirety of its lifespan ever since it was released. I have a nerd case on it and it's survived ever since
Steampunk Goat I have DS LITE too it did not break yet........
What? I’m not a confrontational person either but I still would’ve refused to pay for that! He failed to provide the service he promised and so shouldn’t be entitled to the payment! What a dingus!
Those scam artists live and thrive off of people who are too afraid of confrontation to raise Cain over their mistakes and refuse to pay. As much as it pisses me off that they get away with it ... I do it too >_> so much. I treat it more like pay to get the hell out of here than to pay for my product, then proceed to let everyone I know to stay far away from them.
But thankfully this isn’t a problem I encounter often, because I have three tech gurus in the family that help me troubleshoot most electronics problems I’m too afraid to fix myself ^^”
The frustration WAS the service, they made it out with a hefty markup, the more valuable parts of Eevee's devices, all whilst holding them hostage for months on end.
Dropping a DS and breaking the hinge feels like you broke the neck of the DS

Having dug into a few ds systems:
Ds #1: sounds like he either couldn't plug in the top screen ribbon cable completely (admittedly somewhat tricky), or he damaged the port it plugs into (really fragile and easy to do)
Thr pink ds: there's actually a plastic screen or lens over the top lcd. He likely left whatever plastic covering it came with as your old screen protector may have been difficult to salvage. Also the wait time way very likely due to him ordering the case from a Chinese based seller, further supported by the cheap look. I still couldnt say what the pink screen is about for sure. It may have to deal with the capture card as I have never dealt with those.
All in all this guy either didnt know what he was doing or could have been way more upfront.

I beleive that is a battery replacement. Very easy.
try reinserting the sd card
ok nvm
@@airplane6417 rain doesn't affect the battery, its definitely a short-circuit inside that fried some electronics

If I was in your position, I'd get some silver tape and fix the hinge myself.
Would it look ugly af? Yes. Would it be less practical to use? Yes. Would it be better than being inconvenienced to go to a shady place to fix the stuff? Yes. Would it save money on both the fixing service and the new casing? Yes.

I had a story quite similar to this
So buckle up and listen to my story. (Its a long one)
So this was about 3-4 years ago and we had a broken coral pink 3DS that wouldnt turn on and had a few cracks so we decided to send it to a repair company he said it would take 2 weeks so we waited and since I had another 3DS I played some pokemon (White 2 if your interested) while waiting, finally the two weeks had been up so we called him again and he answered to us saying it’ll another week and I just went with it. (Mind you the company seemed pretty shady) 3 WHOLE MONTHS PASSED and then we got the 3DS back. Like most people would when I got the 3DS back it still wouldnt even TURN ON.
At this point I was pissed and decided to leave it.
We sent in a few other things as well as the 3DS and they worked perfectly fine.
Thanks for listening to my story!
Gg
as i see it, this is quite a lucks story, see one of ny friendsbroke his 3ds hinge too, he went to a second hand store where he was basicly everyday and they sent it to a "trustworthy" repair shop.
He never got his 3ds back, but hey he got a Dsi XL as a replacementfrom the second hand shop owner, who claimed he had given him a 3ds. later i sold him my old silver 3DS XL when i got my limited zelda new 3DS XL.
"pretty much the only way to capture good gba footage"

When you change the shell on a DS, the outer protective plastic covering the LCD is usually also changed because the bezel is colored to match the case. He didn't swap your screen protectors, he changed the case like you asked. The rest I can't speak for, but it was likely either someone new to console repair fixing the problems, or just a series of unfortunate coincidences. It happens, believe me.
I remember my red 3DS. Ah, such a small 3DS. I had it for a long time, every since I got Pokémon alpha sapphire. After a couple years, I got a galaxy Nintendo 3DS XL. I loved it. it was so much bigger than my red one that I couldn’t even get used to my old one anymore. I still used it though, usually to trade my Pokémon over to the other game. One day, I go to elementary school feeling that I will have a normal day. After school, I went home to try and find my second charger so I could plug in my red 3DS. I couldn’t find it so I simply asked my mom where it was. She looked rather guilty and suspicious. Once again I asked what happened to it. She then told me that while I was gone, she decided to vacuum the house. She blamed it on me for this. Part of my charger was hanging a tiny bit on the groundwork from the outlet being low on the wall. She said she was trying to clean around the area of the outlet and vacuumed the charger which was now torn into pieces.
game ing
I know its been ages but, i feel sorry for you, for the charger and your mom, she shouldn't have blamed you, the socket was low she knew this and (i think) thay it would be obvious a charger on the wall,she should have seen it, its not your fault
o_o
There's a reason the side of my bed where the chargers are is off limits for vacuuming. Also, damn you have a powerful vacuum.
i hate when parents blame their kids for what they obviously did
I remember one time for Christmas I got a Kindle Fire. I was so excited that I used it for most of the day. But the day before my birthday of the next year, it wouldn't start up. I was really sad, but luckily my mom was able to exchange the tablet without paying for the new one. I got it a few days later, and the tablet itself worked fine, but the screen was weird. Every time I moved from app to app or I moved around the game, it left a faint picture of what I had done before. We exchanged the Kindle again, and it worked for a while, but then it didn't work. We had to get like 1 or 2 more replacement Kindles until it finally stayed. The one I use now is the one I love.
By the way, I can't stop watching this video! The animation and artwork is amazing!
Yeah, same happens with my TV, sometimes it can burn into it so, lets hope that doesn't happen
My 3ds snapped in half on the basement floor, and the second one glitched and will no longer turn on. Now I have one more.
