9:20 that stylus spin
yup that's going into my ultimate satisfaction compilation
Wowee... ikr
Called a thumb around it's a pen spinning trick
Ikr, it's mind blown
Kaboom!
Hacker man
thumb around lol
That liquid damaged 2ds board may still be fixable. Soak it in isopropyl, get a toothbrush, and scrub that corrosion off. Could bring it back to life.
It looks to be toast because it hadn't been cleaned and dried right after the liquid ingress so it's probably corroded underneath one or more chips .
I thought the same. Well worth a try.
Thanks Mr. Skeltal, very cool!
the chips look corraded, to fix that board would cost as much as 2 3ds.

I remember having to call nintendo to get the parental lock reset on a 3ds I bought years and years ago. This was before they had sites around to generate the key automatically and I straight up just told the rep that answered that I bought it off ebay and he helped me no problem.
Oh decent! Love a good bit of customer service.
They probably figured that if you were old enough to call them you were old enough to not need parental control.
I had to do that, and I said that I bought it second hand. Made me laugh, but seriously.
I remember my original 3DS which I got off ebay "unused, unwanted christmas present" came with a parental lock on it. Nintendo customer support in the UK made me MAIL IT TO THEM to get it removed and factory reset the device. I didn't really care in the long run since I got a pretty much new 3DS for like half the retail price, and a few years later it was superceded by my New 3DS anyway.
Kirito Plays, if you read the comment, you would know that this was before that site existed.
The transparent 2ds's remind me of gameboys
An 8bit production that was the point :p
Yeah that is the vibe they were going for I think!
Thats what it was suppose to look like
And the fantastic n64
*funtastic n64s
You couldn't use X or Y in Zelda because you were in the Temple of Time.
Idk
Evil Wizard 19 why did you repsond with idk he wasant asking a question
Evil Wizard 19 what is the point of your comment? He wasn’t asking a question and his comment wasn’t directed at you.
CyanFrog Same reason that you replied to me, it’s a meaningless comment
@@WhoJoinedReal reason
Him saying the stylus isn’t chewed is probably my favorite part
"It's probably not legal" - Always a good thing to say on the internet.
I Hope a police is not watching this video 😕
I mean he paid the money for it, so legally it IS his property.
LMAO
@Jamesonverse Theres nothing illegal about it, just like homebrewing your console. its legal just against nintendo terms of service, nothing they can do to enforce those terms tho
@Jamesonverse Didnt rlly mean to tag you, meant it more generally
So many people must throw away handhelds when damaged, keep up the good work!
Thanks Bill! I hope not! 😶
in the usa people do this all the time
gamestop is the worst for this tho and most of the time its just because the item is scratched or they no longer sell that item eg psp or old ds or old model xbox ect
What if its water damaged?
Well not everyone knows how to repair their broken ds's ahaha
My 2ds instantly shuts down if it gets hit (a small little impact is enough) in the area of the of the power button and it doesn’t show the message like always when you want to close it, the screen gets black and then it’s turned off but when I start it again it functions perfectly :/
9:20 I come back to watch that pen flip every month
I used to just call the nintendo hotline to have my parental lock removed when i was younger lmfao i would just say i bought a used console and need it removed and they will take it off the device for you lmfao
Its that sort of genius that most people fear
Imagine someone that sold this to him watching this and being like dang I could’ve fixed it that easy😂
9:22 retro future sorcery :O
BlazeGamingHD you noticed that too? I thought I was the only one who was tripped out over that stylus flip!
It's easy, it's all about training
So smooth
So cool
A few months ago i got a fully working old 3ds with 4 ds flashcards and a mario kart 7 cartridge for only 20€! I got soooo lucky! Now it's all nice and restored and it basically looks brand new!
Wow! Amazing find!
I get so nostalgic when I go on my old 3DS. Whenever I hear the 3DS Mii music, my heart just stopped. I upgraded to a new 3DS XL and it's kinda sad to see what I always played on a long time ago, is now being unused. It just traps me in an emotional roller coaster seeing all my old videos, pictures, voice recordings and other things I did. Please reply to this comment if you experience the same problems. lol this rant is just about me being a baby because I got a new ds.
Penis and dick and cock and balls
iiFeloric bro I just got my first 3ds system this month but I bought an old Pokémon game that I had a while back for the regular ds. It brings back so mich nostalgia
Same here
my 3ds was secondhand from a thrift, it had a parental lock so i called the nintendo customer service line and they actually helped me with it which was very kind
5:18 THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE !
Better get some flex tape!
I said “wow that 2ds has over 300 photos on it” then I looked at mine and it has 2337 photos.
There is one potential problem. You need to put the serial number that goes with the working board on it or if you or anyone else tries to do a system transfer with Nintendo it will transfer to the dead board and not the working one you have now.
But it seems to be a simple solution at least
But why would it got to the dead board when they ain't the same board?? He only changed the screen for a new one and swapped the case
xperiaviper Usually there's a sticker or marking on the plastic housing, so you'd need to take the sticker that goes with the working board and put it on the working DS
06:41 ...
7:04 you had it in sleep mode.
Newer systems will always be harder to fix because they're way less sturdy than gameboys, and there's much more that can go wrong with 3ds systems.
@Vegito Charmara fixing a ps3 (or even yet downgrading) is a hellish nightmare.
You’re implying that newer technology is worse because they’re harder to repair and have more functions. I’m sure you’d love to be using your easy to repair blackberry and Apple II today if that’s so important to you.
Suu Kyofan Excuse me? I never said they were "worse" I was looking at it from someone who's attempting to repair old Vs new technology, not as a general use.
Retro Plus The way you phrased your sentence made it seem that way to me. I don’t care enough to argue, so if that’s wha you meant I’ll take it straight from the source and believe you.
Suu Kyofan Good, but you do realise that there's nothing wrong with using old technology. You shouldn't force people to use newer technology.
I've got a Boxed Yellow 2DS. It seems no one is doing repacement shells for the 2DS. As been looking to do one of these faulty 2DS's and change it into a RED or as your's a BLUE clear shell version.
Did the Blue 2DS memory card have the Poky Blue on it then.
Wasnt pokemon version, they had only red and blue buttons
If you go on sketchy Chinese sites you can definitely find what your looking for but make sure that they ship through eBay or Amazon
This is exactly the kind of content i wanted to see from you
If you´d expand into even more models (phat DS, DSi and maybe 3ds but those are fairly complex) that would be great.
That is so cool! I wish I knew how to fix things like you! Then I could replace the middle part of my 3Ds that holds both screens togethor, which is severly damaged and cracked. I have other 3Ds's now but I miss that old 3Ds, it was my very first one years ago :( It also has a issue with the left key not working...
I had my 3ds for years and we forgot my parental pin after the move so I actually used that site a year ago lol glad to see you do too
Hey man thanks for this video! I have my 2ds still the red and black one, but the right trigger got destroyed from castlevania games and it was all around in terrible shape from pokemon battling years ago. My joystick fell off etc. This helped me get a replacement joystick and put it on and clean out the triggers & buttons. Thanks again!
I was actually thinking about buying the blue one from ebay but completely forgot about it. I thought it would be a simple fix! Congratulations on getting it working!
Wow! I get so scared just thinking about doing something like this! The closest I've come to doing something like this is by homebrewing my 3DS lol. XD
Fixed mine before this video came out but I wish I had the when I was fixing my 2ds because a few things went wrong but love this video we need more repair vids like this there aren't that many out there
Great job, man! How did you learned how to do those things?
I had fear of completely destroy the 2DS device 😄
Let's returb!
My parents relationship
Oof
you can fix that?
I bought mine at game wizards and i jokingly tried 1234 before bringing it back and it worked
Then that parent put a dum password on that system
9:21 casually spins stylus like a pro haha your channel is awesome
I remember one day two years ago my mom woke me up in the summer because she saw on Facebook someone in the neighborhood had a red crystal 2ds at a garage sale for 15 dollars. It worked perfectly and had basically no damage. The kid barely used it and it kinda left me a little sad to see his play time. I gave my old 3ds that was pretty banged up to my friend for her birthday because she really loved animal crossing and wanted something to play it with.
I remember the 2DS I had been playing with in bed and my dad took the sheets to clean them, but the 2DS got stuck in the sheets and went through the washing machine AND dryer. While I'm sorta glad it went through the dryer right after coming out I'm mostly glad it didn't melt. It didn't work at first when we found out about it, but we left it in rice to more thoroughly dry and my mom bought me an identical one. About a week later when it arrived the old one turned on (it only worked plugged in, the battery couldn't hold a charge anymore) and it lasted long enough for me to connect the new one to the internet and perform a system transfer. Kinda wish my parents sold the parts, it was mostly working aside from some blotches in the screen and the battery having literally gone through the wash. That was my second 2DS, I don't want to go into detail about what happened to the first one, I think 'dropped by your brother from the second story window' would void the warranty.
I'm only just discovering the concept of home refurbing. I'm doing a couple updates on my 2012 macbook (simple stuff), so seeing how many improvements can be made to old hardware fascinates me.
Your video has given me the confidence to re-shell an old, damaged US 2DS and give it the beautiful Crystal Yellow casing and buttons. Thank you for the video!
You've given me the idea to try to see if I can build my own custom system. Thank you for the really cool video.
I own two of these. The link edition one and the seafoam green one. I use to trash talk the 2ds until I held one and said to myself it feels like a gameboy. Now I do like the 3ds but I chose to get a 2ds and they are a lot cheaper and easy to fix. Love your channel man. Keep up the good work man.
I had the same problem with the parent code and this really helped
Honestly, i just love your channel and your work. Everything seems so genuine and some of your stuff is absolutely amazing. Becoming a big fan, keep it going!
Another great video! Really making me want to start doing repairs like this
NICE VIDEO BRO! Now i know what is to be happy when a guy upload a video, yout last game boy video was pure quality, i watched all the video coz i was so interesed how you could repair that, i refurb DS lites on my country, you inspired me in your golden ds lite refurb, and yeah! I bought them from the same japanese seller on ebay!
Thank you very much dude!
I just found one of the transparent blue 2ds in a bin at work just waiting on a charger to see if anything needs sorting
7:22 LOL THAT SOUND THO
I think the two things you should focus more on with the Refurb Series is DMG Gameboys, and DS’s. Yes I know you do lots of Gameboys, but those are the Pockets! The DMG’s are so cool!
This is why I cry at how destructive my brother is with game systems.
He had a limited edition Mario DSI that I learned from TH-cam was literally just a matter of replacing the top screen and the GBA port.
Smashed it with a bat in the backyard and gave it to me to salvage the buttons and the top screen shell since it managed to stay intact and fairly undamaged.
That Shiny Kitty Kat DSI doesn’t have a GBA port
Fallout Boi 2 maybe he or she meant DS lite. But idk
this video randomly came in my youtube recomended.. and now I got my old 3ds parental code restored bcs no one knew it- oh my
5:24 When not in use store your Nintendo 2DS outdoors on a picnic table in the rain.
That didn't turn out to cost £16 in the end…
he can still sell it for profit
no he cant... $40 for the 2 ds's he used, then another 30 for the screen. Your already over the selling price of a 2ds by 20 bucks before shipping, and assuming selling on ebay any fees.
hes making more money off this video anyway
@@cheesekimbap2996 by how much lol, this is barely scraping in 100k views as of now...
he got a screen for free and if he sells two functioning 2DS hes well making profit
Great video! Translucent plastic consoles are always awesome
I recently came close to buying a 2DS off eBay where the shell was absolutely trashed but looked like the internals should be fine, but I stopped when I discovered that I couldn't find any replacement shells on AliExpress or eBay. I found the back half but the amount they were charging for it (without the front piece, which I couldn't even find) plus what the seller was asking put it over what I was finding for a working 2DS...
Didn't find any faulty ones with good shells for less than what the broken shell one was going for, which I think I could have negotiated down to $50 but walked before I got that far
I really hope you asked them if they wanted any of the photos in it, i sent my old 3ds for repair and they deleted all of my photos that i took as a kid :(
Dude is a genius. Love these videos. One day I'm gonna feel gutsy enough to refurb a handheld or a console. Awesome!
Looks cool with the front and back combo
That "white leakage" on the poweroff screen is a part of the background lol
It is my understanding that there is no way to replace only one screen because there is not actually two different screens on those. They’re actually a single large screen that is masked off by the mounting bracket.
Thanks to your terrible influence I've been buying broken Nintendo DSs and fixing them up. The last one had a parental lock and I just tried 1,2,3,4 ... and it worked! lol
Good content, man. I've been subscribed since I saw you on Ashens a few years ago but until I lost my job because of COVID that now I have the time to do it. My best purchase so far has been a DSL for $5 with a broken hinge and Scribblenauts Unlimited w/box. Just down the road on CL. These things are so much fun to work on. Now I'm jailbreaking them and doing all sorts of cool stuff! Thanks again for all your knowledge on this stuff.
I'd love to have a 2DS in that specific design at the moment. Back when it was on sale they wanted horrendous prices of over 200€ though. I'm not confident enough to try and get me a replacement shell and a cheaper model. >_
This inspires me to fix my 2ds xl. It's broken in half due to falling off a very slippy shelf.
Awesome channel man, you just earned yourself a new subscriber. But, that transparent 2DS is AWESOME. I have to get me one of those. Great job, brotha! #LetsRefurb
Thank you very much!
now all you gotta do is get luma running on that beast and youll have a system thatll last you ages
Yes
Its actually ONE entire screen, and NOT 2. some trickery was done by Nintendo to save money, and only programmed the pixels required to give the illusion of 2 screens. This is why they most likely when with a design that wont fold.
I don't know why, but i so much love to watch your content. It's so relaxes me and gives me goosebumps, like asmr :) thank you for your videos
Thanks for watching!
my left trigger is broken, and un responsive. i pulled apart the system and noticed that the trigger button housing is detached. will soldering it work? if so then how can i find the parts?
Here's a tip:
Put the transparent-blue 2DS in your collection and modify the gray-blue 2DS.
I wish I knew how to remove parental lock back when I got my used 3DS and New3DS. Had to contact Nintendo and they wanted a copy of my ID and it definitely took longer than what you have done here.
7:06 The sleep was one but I’m not sure if that helps
this is my favourite video so far, keep up the good content!
funny how he said he wont show the link to the tool that unlocks the parental code , but actually puts the phone with the url of the website clear
Yayyy it worked! The parental controls. Didn't think I would be needing it until a 2DS showed up in the recycling today 😀
Wow nice!
9:22 that stylus twirl was sick
I found this video when looking up info because I'm interested in a 2DS for modding purposes and the multicolor buttons on crystal case look awesome, but unfortunately used version of it seem to be around $200! I guess I'll have to go for the regular crystal blue edition. RIP sick colorful buttons.
FYI the reason you can't replace just one screen is because there's only one screen there in the first place. It's just sectioned off to look like two screens.
The retro: Im not going to make it obvious
Phone: *shows website
22 pounds for a broken 2ds? In Canada a working 2ds that's second hand is like 15 pounds. A dsi is like 8 pounds
WHAT? i want to go to canada to get them and resell them for 3x or more in Poland
In Finland you can find one like 5€
I was able to get a (supposed) launch edition DS classic that came with all accessories and a carrying bag for just $20, was in good condition (had a few scratches) and in perfect working order
Mate hook me tf up
Ah yes, back when faulty systems weren’t above MSRP
Interesting, I'm really liking how this channel is moving forward, keep it up Elliot lad.
Thank you!
That stylus flick at 9:22 omg.
Yo just a heads up if you want to reset your parental controls, hard reset your 2DS.
(psst, you cant replace only half the screen, as you mentioned, its one big screen, the sectioned off parts are just covered in take to cover from glare) its done in software to look like two
Did anyone else peep how smooth he rolled that stylus
the white leaking around the side of the top screen is normal. i have 2 new pikachu 2ds consoles and they both do that.
also, the screenshot is from the rosalina menu, which means that the console that the sd card was in was previously hacked.
The new screen looked better. I didn’t see any bleed on it and the colors looked vibrant. I wonder if the replacement screen is better. I feel like the original looks washed out.
When you said it was not chewed it brought me back to our family's ds lite
Love the way this turned out!!! Makes me wanna go and refurb some stuff!
The top screen on my New 3DS XL is cracked, it has this black fluid looking area (not actually fluid) around the entire screen. This reminded me of it.
for about 5 or 6 years of owning my 3ds I had a parental lock on it (cause I was quite young, I got it when it was basically just out). then one day I was just messing around with it and what did you know the password was my bloody birthday. Wow!
btw there was a dent in the plastic of the touchpad wich caused it to freak out, this can be fixed by just simply holdig a lighter at the dent for a short time
This is now my new favorite tech channel
Awesome!!
You should make a thing where people could send you their broken stuff and you could fix it
the 2ds only has 1 screen but it has masking on it to make it look like 2
Hi Elliott can you do a teardown of the dead screen? Is it really just 1 LCD panel? Does the unused part light up or anything appear on it?
Entire video was great to watch. And that pen spin with the stylus got me hyped! You have a new sub from me!
Pro tip for any 3ds user: if you have a 3ds/ 2ds that came with a game pre installed, you can go into the eshop, tap the 3 lines, scroll down and press other, redown load, and then you can redownload any software that originall y came with the device when it was new!
I want to fix my 3ds but I have tried so much and I just don't know what to do with it anymore. The blue power light turns on but then it just makes a loud click and shuts off again. None of the screens turn on and I just don't know what the problem is
I might not have seen it yet if you have... buuuut, have you done any top screen repair/replacement on the 3DS?
I wonder how many times he had to reshoot to get that spin on the stylist. xD
now can you make it comfortable to hold?
Why does nintendo have a "I forgot my birthday date" option
You’ve inspired me to buy a broken nano and try and fix it!
