@@joe-pe9qc I'm just trying to advise people to not download that app. It could break your phone for good or you could get hacked or watched through your webcam.
I don't know if my opinion is exactly common, but man, you gotta choose your sponsors a little better, if at all possible. I think you make really nice videos, but these sketchy apps aren't something I wanna learn about in your videos. Just because you get an offer does not mean you should accept it.
Nice video! But here's a tip. Besides the rubber gasket on the front of the lcd, you should also transfer the plastic cover on the lcd's back. This will prevent the metal back of the lcd to short out the devide's main board.
Yeah it’s slightly ugly. But looks don’t mean anything once you get one in your hands, feel how comfortable it is and see how good the screen quality is.
yeah my 2ds is dead Problems: volume slider not working, turns on and then off, permanent marker on the plastic, and leftover sticker residue. inconveniences: no SD card. please help. the reason for it turning on then off is because i wanted homebrew to not crash, so i deleted files from the SD card. i could get it working again, but the SD card is formatted and is in my Wii U.
YES!! I just fixed a 3DS XL and it did not come out as good as I wanted but it works! LOL The top screen in the original 3DS XL is a pain in the arse. Worse thing is because I did not think it was part of the screen I peeled off the 3D filter that was attached to the top LCD thinking it was for glass breakage protection in shipping since the original didnt look the same. Anywho I have a 3DS XL which does not do 3D! But its a junker to fool around with and learn on. I have many 3DS / XL models.
So I had a 2DS that wasn't working but had good screens. So I bought a 2DS on EBAY that had cracked screens but seemed to work, So I go to do the swap and the EBAY 2DS has another issue. The little plastic lever to put it to sleep is broken off and missing. Rooked again. It all works fine, but you can't put it to sleep. Since it's all surface mount stuff, I don't know if I can swap the switch at home.
I learned how to repair some gameboys from your videos, and was curious if you've mentioned before. In what order would you say is the simplest Nintendo handheld to repair to most difficult?
You would have to not only fit the 3DS' screens, but you also should modify the case to add a 3D Slider... and you actually should swap the 2DS motherboard with a 3DS one.
These paid ads are revolting. Some of the more egregious examples on youtube are from your channel. Makes it seem like you couldn't care less about your viewers.
I love your Channel and i love also 2ds! It's a nice form factor The Plastic lenses on the screen are repleceable?? (sorry for my english but i'm italian)
Best bet is just to set an eBay alert fitting your price range. Don't bid till the last minute. Also when you put a bid on eBay that will be your max bid. It will automatically increase the bid by the smallest amount possible to win the auction up to the max bid you put.
I think I have the same problem, there only cracks when I turn my 2ds on... But I don't want to try it because I could make it even worse.. I don't want to tell my mum that I accidentally broke my Nintendo
One way of getting around that is to setup a US eShop account on your Switch in order to redeem US eShop codes. I've seen plenty of US players do the same in order to play Japan exclusive games.

I love how the replacement screen is more expensive than the actual system

If you can find a screen lower than £9 please direct me to it so I can buy in bulk. But I don't think that's at all possible.

At least it’s not raid shadow legends

I used the app and got maleware on my phone. It sucks because I can't use LTE anymore it damages my sim card

Yeah, is should not trust this. I don't feel good about apps that have you download other apps and do surveys.

Hey I attempted this it was on a Mario maker 2ds but when I turn it on there is a pop from the speaker and it turns off nothing is displayed on screen
Hey! Could we get a pawn shop or pickup video?
I would love that! Just nothing like that where I live.
@@TheRetroFuture oh that's a shame oh well.
I see that there is a screen digitizer for the bottom/touch screen on the shell. Is it needed because the shell I about didn't come with it.
i love your videos im trying to get into restoring old vintage game consoles. it’s so fun!
Nice one! Good luck!
Can you make a video on how to change the touch screen of an old 3ds? Mine is really scratched
How much is the screwdriver set mate
I always really liked the 2DS original design. The wedge is great to hold. Bought a couple new for £25 when Game reduced them to clear :)

Does the screwdriver kit you use come with the right bits to take apart the 2ds and 3ds?
yeah my 2ds is dead
Problems: volume slider not working, turns on and then off, permanent marker on the plastic, and leftover sticker residue.
inconveniences: no SD card.

I keep noticing the missing piece of the tool kit!

Thank you!
Would it be possible to put a 3DS screen in a 2DS? I imagine it would require some heavy modifications?
You would have to not only fit the 3DS' screens, but you also should modify the case to add a 3D Slider... and you actually should swap the 2DS motherboard with a 3DS one.
Can you replace a joystick on an original 3DS
You dont swap The plastic back protection from The old to The new One.
You screwdriver's nice, but I'm always wondering why you don't get a Wowstick or something similar...
I have one! it’s quicker to unscrew yourself!
Man, 25 pounds for a reconditioned 2ds, what a dream. Those goes for at least 170 pounds here in my country, it's unbelievable.

How do you pick up broken consoles from ebay so easily? Any time I look they bid so high up in price you may as well buy a working one.
Best bet is just to set an eBay alert fitting your price range. Don't bid till the last minute. Also when you put a bid on eBay that will be your max bid. It will automatically increase the bid by the smallest amount possible to win the auction up to the max bid you put.

your videos are so helpful

Also, does the app you used work in the UK?
The app does work, but not very well. You would need a VPN.
