    • Unscrew the four Phillips #00 screws along the top of the back cover.

    • The screws are held in place by locking washers, and will not come out of the back cover.

    • The comments section is full of unlucky souls who will tell you that the screws here through step 4 will strip incredibly easily. Press down fairly hard, and go slow.

    • Insert the flat end of a spudger between the SD board and the motherboard.

    • Pry up slowly to loosen the SD board from the RF shield underneath it. If you pry too quickly, you may tear the shield or break its solder points.

    • Run the spudger along the sides of the SD board to free it from the adhesive holding it in place.

    • Once completely freed, lift the SD board straight off the motherboard.

  13. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Wi-Fi Board: шаг 13, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Wi-Fi Board: шаг 13, изображение 2 из 2
    • Slide the flat end of a spudger under the corner of the Wi-Fi board, and lift it away from the motherboard.

    • The Wi-Fi antenna cable is still connected to the Wi-Fi board, so you cannot completely remove the Wi-Fi board yet.

  14. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 14, изображение 1 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 14, изображение 2 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 14, изображение 3 из 3

    • Use the flat end of a spudger or your fingernail to flip up the retaining flap on the speaker assembly ribbon cable ZIF socket.

    • Be sure you are prying up on the hinged retaining flap, NOT the socket itself. Damaging the socket or cable will result in a 3DS that will blink its power LED when you press the power button - and do nothing else.

    • Disconnect the speaker assembly ribbon cable with a pair of tweezers.

  17. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 17, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 17, изображение 2 из 2
    • Use the flat end of a spudger or your fingernail to flip up the retaining flap on the camera ribbon cable ZIF socket.

    • Be sure you are prying up on the hinged retaining flap, not the socket itself.

    • When reassembling, note that the gold contacts face toward the motherboard (as opposed to the camera cable's gold contacts facing away).

  18. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 18, изображение 1 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 18, изображение 2 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 18, изображение 3 из 3

    • Two 3.5 mm black screws

    • One 2.5 mm silver screw

    • When you remove this screw the volume slider can fall out.

    • Lift the side of the motherboard that sits along the bottom edge of the 3DS.

    • Continue lifting the motherboard assembly and rotate it until it is resting next to the rest of the device.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger or your fingernail to flip up the retaining flap on the LCD ribbon cable ZIF socket.

    • Be sure you are prying up on the hinged retaining flap, not the socket itself. Damaging the socket or cable will result in a 3DS that won't have a functional top screen.

  20. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 20, изображение 1 из 1
    • Remove the motherboard assembly from the rest of the device.

  21. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Upper Display Front Panel: шаг 21, изображение 1 из 1
    • Before continuing with disassembly, use a pair of tweezers to remove the clear plastic diffuser for the wireless notification LED. The small piece is likely to fall out on its own, and may be difficult to find if it lands on the floor.

  22. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 22, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 22, изображение 2 из 2
    • De-route the Wi-Fi antenna cable from the bottom of the upper case.

    • This step is not necessary if you are only replacing the front panel; however, the replacement of the upper screen, speakers, cameras, and Wi-Fi antenna require it.

  23. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 23, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 23, изображение 2 из 2
    • Heat the edges of the upper display front panel with a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive holding it to the display bezel.

    • Begin prying the edges of the front panel off with a plastic opening tool.

    • If it is difficult to pry the front panel off, reheat the area you are working on with the heat gun, and then return to prying. Applying excessive force could crack the front panel.

  24. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 24, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 24, изображение 2 из 2
    • Continue prying the remaining sides of the front panel by sliding the plastic opening tool down each edge.

    • Too little heat will result in excessive bending/breaking of the front panel, and too much will melt and destroy the LCD underneath. Take your time.

  25. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 25, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 25, изображение 2 из 2
    • With all of the sides free, lift the upper display front panel off the display bezel.

  26. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Rear Display Bezel: шаг 26, изображение 1 из 1
    • Remove the six 3.6 mm Phillips screws securing the rear display bezel to the front display bezel.

  27. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 27, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 27, изображение 2 из 2
    • Flip the device over so that the rear display bezel is on top and the hinge is on the side opposite from you.

    • Lift the edge of the rear display bezel closest to you and rotate it towards the hinge.

    • Continue to lift the rear display bezel off the rest of the device until it is free.

    • There are clips toward the bottom of the rear display bezel holding it in place. Use enough force to disengage the clips, but be careful not to break them.

  28. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Upper Display Assembly: шаг 28, изображение 1 из 1
    • Remove the 3D adjustment switch from the front display bezel.

    • This step is not necessary for disassembly, but the switch is likely to fall out on its own. By removing it yourself, you reduce the chance of losing it.

  29. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 29, изображение 1 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 29, изображение 2 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 29, изображение 3 из 3
    • Insert a metal probe into the space above the ABXY buttons with the point touching the metal hinge.

    • Push the hinge towards the center of the upper case. This will require a fair amount of force.

    • Before and after images of the hinge location when looking at the back of the upper display are shown.

    • Before proceeding, note how the 3 ribbon cables are oriented (what direction the gold contacts face) and layered together (which cable is on top of which). The cables are too short to reach if they are threaded through in any other orientation.

    • Slowly pull the upper display assembly away from the upper case.

    • Make sure that the various ribbon cables are being fed through the slit in the upper case.

    • Separate the upper display assembly from the upper case.

  31. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Speaker Assembly: шаг 31, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Speaker Assembly: шаг 31, изображение 2 из 2
    • Carefully feed the speaker assembly ribbon cable through the hole in the upper display bezel.

    • You must gently coil the ribbon cables (similar to an ice-cream cone) to allow them to fit - the cables are wider than the hole.

  32. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 32, изображение 1 из 1
    • Remove the 2.5 mm Phillips screw securing the right speaker board to the upper display bezel.

  33. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 33, изображение 1 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 33, изображение 2 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 33, изображение 3 из 3
    • Use the flat end of a spudger or your fingernail to flip up the retaining flaps on the parallax barrier ribbon cable ZIF sockets.

    • Be sure you are prying up on the hinged retaining flap, not the socket itself.

    • Use a pair of metal tweezers to disconnect the two ribbon cables.

  34. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 34, изображение 1 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 34, изображение 2 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 34, изображение 3 из 3
    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the left and right speakers out of their places in the upper display bezel.

    • Pry the camera status LED out of the upper display bezel with the tip of a spudger.

  35. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 35, изображение 1 из 1
    • Remove the speaker assembly from the rest of the display assembly.

  36. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Cameras: шаг 36, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Cameras: шаг 36, изображение 2 из 2
    • Gently roll the upper LCD ribbon cable and camera ribbon cable together and insert them into the hinge opening.

  37. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 37, изображение 1 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 37, изображение 2 из 3 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 37, изображение 3 из 3
    • Use a pair of metal tweezers to remove the black metal hinge ring from the upper display bezel.

    • Carefully pull the camera and upper LCD ribbon cables through their hole in the upper display bezel.

  38. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 38, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 38, изображение 2 из 2
    • Peel the camera ribbon cable off the back of the upper LCD.

    • The ribbon cable is held to the back of the LCD housing by an adhesive, so pull on it gently to avoid tearing the ribbon cable.

    • Remove the camera ribbon cable assembly.

  39. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Upper LCD: шаг 39, изображение 1 из 2 Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement, Upper LCD: шаг 39, изображение 2 из 2
    • Use your thumbs to push the upper LCD from the front out of the upper display bezel.

    • Remove the upper LCD.

  40. Nintendo 3DS Upper LCD Replacement: шаг 40, изображение 1 из 1
    • A strip of black adhesive tape holds the upper LCD to the display bezel. Use the tip of a spudger to remove the tape from the LCD housing.

Thanks very much for this. After two different electronic repair shops had refused to replace the broken top screen in the 3DS which our daughter had borrowed from a friend, I reluctantly decided try it myself, having studied this guide a couple of times.

It took me over 4 hours, almost an hour of which was just getting the 3 ribbon cables out through the hinge and back in again. It was incredibly satisfying to power it up again and have everything work. Without this detailed guide and photographs, I would certainly have given up.

Use good quality screwdrivers!

All the commentors talking about how they stripped the screws are obviously not using the correct screwdriver - they're phillips #00 screws and they come out easily. You don't need to buy an expensive speciality screwdriver, just do it properly. Make sure the driver grips the screw properly, apply a moderate amount of pressure, and turn it slowly. It isn't hard at all. The only thing I can think is that everyone stripping the screws is using one of those screwdrivers with the head shaped like an 8 pointed star. Those will strip screws easily and are easy to mistake for the usual + shaped screwdriver. The one I used comes from a Black & Decker precision screwdriver set. I think it was £7 from Homebase.

Dear colleagues of gaming

My son dropped the 3DS, and this is the result:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0t5p5enpdu1d6g...

can you tell me your opinion, is the substitution of the lcd necessary and/or sufficient? The glass (external) is not broken.

Thank you

Daniele Passerone - Ответить

If its the LOWER LCD its probably fixable pretty easily but if its the UPPER LCD, buy a new DS! Or dish out the $100 for Nintendo to repair it, as its incredibly difficult to repair yourself!! As the ribbon cables are not just hard to get them rehooked up, its that there VERY DELICATE too and its very easy to tear one or more also then you going to need to buy new parts... Like I say having a authorized Nintendo repair service place is the way to go for a damaged UPPER LCD!
