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

These screws aren't Phillips, they're JIS, if you use a Phillips head you can and will strip the screws, please update this as it can cause more harm to people's systems than good if they get stripped.

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.

Шаг 5

The rear panel is attached to the motherboard by a ribbon cable, so be careful not to lift the rear panel too far from the device.
Carefully pull the rear panel straight up from the device.

Y si se corta el cable que pasa?

Шаг 6

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
Take the opportunity to remove the Left and Right triggers, they have hinges that may break and springs that may jump away.

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

Jos van Reenen - 13 мар 2017 г. Ответить

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.

Rick Parrish - 3 мая 2017 г. Ответить

Agreed, ribbon cable looks upside down in picture

Thanks so much for these instructions. My nine year-old son just got Pokemon Sun and Moon on Friday evening. He had been talking about it non-stop for several months. On Saturday, he managed to bend the plastic lip on the base of his 2DS right trigger - the trigger button no longer worked. He was devastated, because we thought he had permanently broken his 2DS. We were afraid he would have to wait until Christmas (over a month away) before we could get him a new one.

I found these instructions via Google, followed them to take apart his 2DS and remove the trigger button. I gently bent the plastic lip of the trigger back with needle nose pliers, reassembled the 2Ds, and the trigger worked perfectly! He now thinks I am the greatest dad in the world.

same situation here

Minecrafter Pig - 22 апр 2019 г.

Hi there, does anyone know which type of springs they use in a 2DS? Because I don't really want to pay 7€+15€ shipping just to replace one spring I lost and I could get most sorts and sizes of springs in a hardware store for less than 5€ for 50.

Any help would be very appreciated.
