I recently found my old 3DS, and I went to see about getting it fixed about 7 years ago, and they told me it would be cheaper to just get a refurbished one instead. The thing is, I have a lot of memories on my 3DS that I don’t know if they’re on my SD card or not (I don’t believe they are). Is it worth it to try and find someone who can fix it, is it fixable (it’s been sitting in a car for five years in various weather conditions), and how much would I be looking at if it’s fixable?

EDIT: Definitely going to look into getting a charging block and trying that first, thank you all for your comments and advice, I will update once it’s working again and this is resolved!

I've been looking everywhere and can't find anywhere I can buy them. Does anyone know where I can find them?

just need to mod the 3ds and it already came with 3d land though I am transferring saves from a broken 3ds XL that was identical but without the stickers and also I am gonna remove the sitckers already on it and also put DS rom hacks on the 3ds

So... my sister stole my 3DS a few years back, and i wanna get a new one. Problem is, i've heard DKOldies is absolute garbage.

Is there any other sites that have a decent price? Or should I just say "fuck it" and buy that Thor thing everyone's talking about?

There’s a port of Minecraft pocket edition (an older version of it) that works on old 3DS with minor issues, it’s completely playable and I’d recommend it (by efimandreev0 on github)

I'm looking to buy a New 3DS XL or LL, I'm looking on ebay and i stumbled upon several of professional sellers like this that have a lot of 3DSs and other consoles from japan. I know that japanese consoles are less expensive but those prices seems too god to be true to me, and sometimes they also offer free return and a surprisingly fast shipping from japan.
I know they have a lot of positive reviews and feedback but I've never bought anything on ebay and I fear I may be scammed.

forgot to share it sooner, got me a Streetpass while at disney the other day, my first one in a long time! if you see this luke, I'm not from japan, just use a japanese console lol

I found these sealed in my room but my 3DS top screen is broken right now. Would they be worth fixing my screen to play or should I just get rid of them? I usually play my DSi now so I’m not sure if it’s worth the fuss. Were these fun?

Hey everyone,

So I'd love to hear some thoughts and opinions on something I feel quite passionate about! Im a long time DS fan, and recently picked up my DS Lite again. I own numerous 3DS consoles and a really decent sized library, and I also own a good chunk of original DS game.

I recently played through Another Code on the DS Lite and it just brought back such a magical feeling. It was also wildly refreshing to finish a game in around 5/6 hours and not be pulled into a 70 hour drag.

What specifically do you think made DS and 3DS games so special? How often do you still play DS games?

And i need to fix it i have done the audio settings and restarted the console the problem is thos two reasons, and i'll try to get store that has experience with ribbon cables and games

these are the proof's i have for it btw and there was a sound too that was low pitched and weird

Based on the picture, does this just need new hinges or more? Thanks!

i was born way after the 80's but i feel like the old cosmo black 3ds somehow makes me think of a sony walkman,does anyone else see this or am i on my own?

I opened my new3ds to check something but didn't dig too deep into it and assembled everything and now this happens. No popping sound or screen flickering, just a silent blue light then it turns off.

Quite a shame, I used to use it a lot. No matter what I do, it always redirects me to a login page, which the 3DS can't fully load.

Context i ordered this off Ebay a couple weeks back, It said collection scheduled however it never did get collected until like last week. So I contacted the business selling it(took a few days for them to respond) and they ended up issuing a refund. I kid you not the week after I get my refund I get an email saying it was now in transit to the post and I was confused as hell, and now its here 😂

The app is unusable until I update it, but whenever I try it takes about 30 mins and then gives an error message

Hello, I would like to get some help with my hacked 3DS XL.

Today, I found an old SD card and inserted it into my hacked 3DS. The SD card was not recognized. However, when I tried to put my original SD card back (the one with all my hack apps and games), the console was no longer able to read it at all.

The blue power light stays on continuously, but the console does not boot and the screens stay black. As soon as I remove the SD card, the console starts normally again.

I would like to point out that before inserting the old SD card, everything was working perfectly fine.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read my message. Does anyone have a solution or an idea of what could be causing this problem?

This is my first time owning a 3ds and I bought it used. before I destroyed the screen I wanted to put a screen protector on but it looks like there is one already on it. just want to be sure.

Looking to play some more games with my 2DS. Anyone got any ideas where I can get more games that'd be up my alley for a good price? This is for both DS and 3DS because both are compatible.

Latest additions to my collection were Stella Glow, Heroes of Ruin, Bravely Default, and Dragon Booster for only $90...

I just lowkey really need 1-2 new games to play bruh.
