Hello, recently I want to open this 3ds to gain access to his motherboard but apparently, the screws are different than the others 3ds xl and i don’t know wish screwdrivers I have to buy?
You need a tri wing screw driverI know nentendo sometimes used those weird y screws (looks like Philips but has 3 slots instead of 4) if so that is what you will need.

Well, while I did some research, The limited edition 3ds xl and the normal 3Ds XL have different screws :/Looks like an EXTREMELY worn out phillips, a quarter of the screws inside my 2DS ended up like that after 2 disassemblies and rebuilds...
...but I never saw that happening to the bottom cover, if you're the first owner then I don't have a clue on how it ended that way, maybe it's some demo model?

Same screws as the run of the mill models (well, black coated)
so basically, it is a used 3DS???????yeah you can see the case is chewed up around the screw hole, I guess someone has be trying to bruteforce it open with a screwdriver that's too big
Get a rubber band, place it over your screwdriver's tip and pray to god that it works. Just need a lot of patience and care.
already did but, no work. Wait a sec, let me try a balloon insteadGet a rubber band, place it over your screwdriver's tip and pray to god that it works. Just need a lot of patience and care.
Or a piece of surgical tube. They are the best choice. If that doesn't work, drill the screw or make a small notch so you can use a flathead screwdriveralready did but, no work. Wait a sec, let me try a balloon instead
