MY 3DS JUST BROKE!!!!!!! :(

[Chibi.Hoshi]

When I got my 3DS it was glitched. However since it was a birthday present and bought a month before I couldn't return it back. Somehow the glitching fixed itself. But later on my charging point starting to malfunction, and Nintendo wasn't much help even when it was under warranty. In the end my local store was nice enough to give me a new 3DS on a discount. Since Nintendo was likely going to erase my system data. However before transferring, my dad had a go fixing it and its "almost" good as new. It's not prefect, but at least it charges, before it couldn't. Still usable and fine in my book. I still even have the other 3DS (Never been opened) just in case anything happens, or if I need another 3DS haha (It's mine, no one ask for it!).

I see your shock, but its fixable. Send it to Nintendo or either fix it yourself (if Nintendo can't help), but be warned. Since of how you broke it, and if they can tell its self damage, they will ask you to pay for the damages. I was just in a bad situation, and Nintendo's help here in New Zealand isn't the best.

That would get ion my nerves so much, I'd send it to nintendo, it's either ?50 for a minor repair or ?85 for major, I sent my game pad when it broke for a full LCD replacement, it was obviously the ?85 one but worth it. Just go to nintendo repairs, it's free to send.

you're making a big deal out of this

Well anything is possible remember. As long as that area is fixed up enough it shouldn't be a big deal but still cautious.

mm true, but I dunno I feel like her reaction was a bit too much?
other than that yeah you're completely right

Yeah, her reaction was a bit over the top. I was similar when my 3DS suddenly was unable to charge, and Nintendo's service was pretty much telling me do it yourself at the time. Not kidding, they just told me go contact their repair service in New Zealand, and they would never reply to my calls. It took me awhile to finally get a response from them after my local store that my father bought my 3DS from got involved after a week. It was ridiculous, and this is only part of the story...

Nintendo does after calls fine here, its just the repair service (which isn't an Nintendo company). It was like grinding teeth how "helpful" they were to me. In the end they wanted me to pay almost the exact price it is here to get a brand new 3DS, to get it repaired. Hahahaha no....

That area is also where the WiFi indicator is at. So anything that will get in there can cause a huge problem with the wifi as well.

DS lites don't have circle pads though.

 

[Mercedes]

but why would you sell this "broken" 3DS for $100+

Beacuse it's pokemon blue, ><

 

[poliwag0]

DS lites don't have circle pads though.

whoops I meant the touch screen. I mean STOP JUDGING ME!1!1!1! MY DS LITE IS BROKEN U JERK!1!1

 

[Mercedes]

Why? Is it 125$???? Should I just get a new one?!

 

[poliwag0]

no, you should keep your old 3DS

 

[Mercedes]

no, you should keep your old 3DS

But when it's 125$ I should just spend a little more on a yoshi 3ds

or you could just keep your old 3DS. for FREE.

 

[debinoresu]

lucky do u want a new 3ds?? would you like a yoshi one better than a pokemon blue one? like u could just deal with the broken hinge and spend 0 money but since you seem to not want to do that, i guess it depends on which version of the 3ds u want

over here in my house tho youd be dealin w that broken hinge and play your games with a floppy dead screen bc if the games still play fine, we aint spendin money on ****

idk maybe ur rich?? maybe?? id personally just save the money

Jeez... Moaning over that... I had a problem with my original Nintendo 3DS where it won't turn on AT ALL and I have lost all 20 of my Nintendo 3DS Ambassador download games and my download copy of The Legend of Zelda Four Sworda: 25th Anniversary Edition and this issue is still unexplained to this day. My Nintendo 3DS stopped working in early 2014...

And you think you're so hard done to with a "chipped" edge...
