Remove the battery from its housing by lifting it up from the side closest to the outside edge.

Remove the ten Phillips screws attaching the rear panel.
Can't take off the screw top left next to the battery. What type of screwdriver do I use and where can I find some?
I used a husky with changeable heads, you could probably find one on amazon
The screws are 6.2mm long
god I thought it was because I was repairing a sibling's ds that had something spilled on it (idk maybe that they didn't clean it good when it happened) but continued to struggle even with screws that looked fine... wish I had checked the comments sooner :/ Please like the above, update this guide! It sucks knowing that someone like me is also gonna probably miss this. I didn't get super far but well. I already stripped down some which sucks either way. Ironically, I noticed that using a size slightly smaller gets the job done better. Ironic in that you'd normally avoid that because it's more likely to strip with small bits scrapping the inside. But if you are real careful it can hang on and twist. I'd recommend just getting the JIS but maybe this might work for some- I also want to emphasize SLIGHTLY smaller phillips.

Carefully pull the rear panel straight up from the device.
-
-
-
Use your fingernail or the flat end of a spudger to flip up the connector securing the ribbon cable to the motherboard
-
Remove the cable from the connector
You can also detach the cable from the motherboard safely by flipping up the connector on the motherboard. Just don't forget to reattach. Some will find this tedious but may save time if you know what you're doing with said connectors.
I agree, this is what the guide i followed said to do and since I was disconnecting all the other ribbon cables it made perfect sense to do it that way.

pay attention: my 2ds dropped it's lens covers at this step
Likewise, I used a tiny drop of glue to put the lens back in place. Take care not to dirty the lens.
The picture you have there has the camera lens ribbon installed upside down. The ribbon needs to be pointing down when you re-attach it not up.
Agreed, ribbon cable looks upside down in picture

Hold the side panels of the device's case with your fingers and pull outward to remove them.
-
There are three ribbon cables which have already been unplugged in this picture, disconnect these before disassembling the device further.
When reattaching during reassembly, take great care to ensure volume slider piece is correctly aligned with potentiometer tab on motherboard, otherwise volume control cannot be changed.
The are two small metal pins in the bottom corners of the case, take care not to misplace them.
The (3?) small ribbon cables on the bottom of the motherboard appear to already have been unplugged in this step. unplug them while unplugging the two large screen ribbon cables in step 10
What are the three ribbon cable at the bottom are supposed to be. Pls

-
Remove the 12 brass-colored Phillips screws securing the main board.
-
-
-
There are two additional screws located on the top rail. Remove these to fully remove the buttons and top rail.
-
There are two screws holding down the joystick base that must be removed. (Be careful of the ribbon cable—it stays connected!)
-
Hold the top panel with your fingers and pull away from the device to remove it.
When reassembling, take care to ensure all buttons, and rubber button pads are located correctly BEFORE securing the motherboard.
Please double check what Elliot said. From experience: DON'T FORGET THE [SLEEP] SLIDER

-
Detach the 2 ribbon cables by lifting the black flip connectors that hold them.
-
Lift out the rectangular board seated in the face and lift out the white square which is the joystick motor (takes a little effort). Both stay attached to the motherboard.
-
On some models, you'll need to remove three more tiny ribbon cables at the bottom of the screen. They are secured by flip up connectors. BE GENTLE!
-
Holding the motherboard on either side, lift to remove it.
Don't forget to disconnect the two tiny ribbon cables on the bottom of the motherboard that attach to the microphone and home button.
What happens if I can't get the ribbons to reattach? Is the board broke irreparably?
What about the top 2 wires
Briana the 3 wires on bottom of board are covered under screen 2 step 10.

The motherboard of my 2017(I think) 2DS is definitely laid out differently than in this guide, be careful.
Cosa succede se i connettori dei 3 piccoli cavi piatti si dovessero rompere??
How do I flip up the two ribbons ( need help desperately)

-
Grasp the screen firmly by a corner and lift it off of the front panel of the Nintendo 2DS.
If one of the ribbon connectors breaks, can computer tape be used to secure it?
Do you have to buy a new screen? Or can I use my old screen
You can buy a new screen if your old one is broken and needs to be replaced. If your old screen still works fine, you can use it.

Camera ribbon cable is very brittle, be careful.
Thank you so much, Fina! You have done a fantastic job explaining each step incredibly well! I very much appreciate all of your efforts into skillfully describing the process of disassembling the 2DS. I was able to understand your instructions and thus was able to make a lucky kiddo super happy! Thanks again!

what about a new screen?
Once you've removed your screen, what are you supposed to do with it to clean and/or repair?
You will have to buy a replacement. You cannot repair the screen if it isn’t working.

i love these guides.
Can someone help, i have a scratched screen i want to replace the touchscreen works fine, can the cover be replaced on its own??
Which screen is it. If it’s the top just peel it off and get a new one. If it’s the bottom you’re gonna have to follow these steps to acess it to replace it because it is an actual component that makes the touch screen work
do u need the microphone cable to be attached for the 2DS to power on? I broke the connector when i was taking it apart. Now i only have the 2 large ribbon cables attached and the home cable attached but cannot power it on. When i power on, one light turns on then there is a delay and it shuts down. any ideas how i can attach the microphone cable without the connector?
I paid a little bit to much for the screen but this guide was definitely helpful I didn’t really need it but it was a great reference point, keep in mind that you need a 000 philips that’s not too pointy my biggest road block is that all the screwdrivers I had where way to pointy and wouldn’t grab the screw. And be mindful of not stripping the motherboard screws they are really soft and installed really tightly from the factory just apply constant down pressure and go slowly. When it comes to the ribbon cables be gingerly but your gonna need to bend the new ones up a tad to pass them through the mother board. Take your time on the small ones they will definitely be a challenge but it’s not impossible.
Question. When I reassembled and turned it on the top screen colors aren't clear but the bottom is fine?Do you think it's the quality of the screen or maybe 1 of the ribbons maybe not in right?
I need the screen where do i buy it
eBay easiest place
Thanks the instructions worked great! A bit of extra care is needed while reassembling. First time I put it back the volume slider wasn't seated correctly and the rubber backing for start/select had shifted. Had to take it all back apart to reset it so be warned!
I’m so glad I read your comment before I started my own repair, since both of these things would have happened to me. Add to these couple things the alignment of the joystick components being a little fickle. (And boy - those bottom ribbon cables are really small.)

does this reset any data on the 2DS itself?
No it does not delete the data
Like if I download a game prior to doing this will the game still be downloaded when I’m done fixing my 2DS?
Never mind. For anybody with the same question, the game will usually download to the SD card. As long as it isn’t damaged, your game should still be there.
My model of 2DS(2017?) is definitely laid out a little differently than pictured. Be careful not to miss any of the tiny ribbon cables at the bottom.
