Remplacement des boutons avant du New Nintendo 2DS XL

This is a great repair instructional, but I would advise also looking at the below video link. (I used both.) Sometimes watching 2 repair guides can help when you think you think you’re stuck. For example, I had a really hard time getting the hinge off!

(HINT: Works best if you rotate it 180 degrees, so that you are repairing it from the same perspective as the technician)

The Y0 was too big; I ended up using a Y00 and that worked fine

Would not recommend using a Y000 like I tried to do

gotta use Japanese Industry Standard YOO (blunt end)- I did not, and accidentally stripped two of the screws… still trying to figure out how to remove them -_-;

You need to be super careful separating the top from the bottom at the rear end. I got stuck there, applied a lil more force and ripped the right shoulder button straight off the pcb!

The front headphone Jack got stuck in the bottom case and snapped when opening, didn’t notice until after replacing the battery (which is a nightmare btw) I used some floss underneath the battery to give you better leverage since the side plastic is so thin and fragile. I cannot get the headphone Jack back into position now and will have to take it to a shop for (I’m sure much more expensive) repairs. Honestly DO NOT try repair this thing, just pay someone else to repair these. Compared to the OG 2011 3DS these are a nightmare to work with. Nintendo really went out of their way to make this impossible to repair, I had an extra set of pretty capable hands too.

I also ripped off the headphone jack when taking the case apart. I never pulled hard. You need to be careful to give the headphone jack clearance before applying any force.

When you are putting these cables back, make sure to check the orientation of the cable. You have to match the cable head to the entry point, so you may have to turn the cable around. I spent a bit too much time trying to connect the cables just because I didn't realize that I had to turn the cable around.

Aren't these the speaker cables? I haven't taken any 2DS's apart in a while, but I'm pretty sure these cables connect to the speakers

Some might see this as an optional step. But you probably do NOT want to skip this. I did, and now I have malfunctions on the Nintendo (touch screen functionality not working, possibly as a result of shorts from skipping this step.)

Personally, I skipped this step and everything still works fine. I wasn't able to take the battery out because the adhesive was too strong.

Small square of adhesive. Pull up slowly and it’ll release after 10-20 seconds

Okay update on how I got confused... turns out all the latches (except one) were already open. Apparently I tend to jostle my game device a bit on the hard side... and at some point they all (except one) came exceptionally loose. I literally could have just pulled the ribbon cables out

On a related note... the reason my R-Button wasn't working wasn't due to stickiness... turns out I had somehow managed to push it so hard it depopulated itself from the board and was just sitting loose inside the case (well... as loose as it could be... it did not travel too much)... going to need to figure out how to repopulate the R-Button--looks like it could prolly be resoddered back in

Prolly a good thing these repair guides exist

But yeah... turns out all the clasps/latches whatever were completely open when I opened the case... that would prolly explain why the battery kept draining so quickly
