Hardware Got my 3DS back from Nintendo Repair

[Sicklyboy]

I Had an old LG enV that would click so damn loud. I decided to take it apart one day and see if I could fix it.

It permenantly broke. Wanna know the problem? The inside of the plastic around the hinge click-barrel cracked. When I took it apart a piece fell out, removing any resistance from the hinge (screen freely flopped open and close)

ok so it seems I am the only one who has mess up their 3DS yet, but I would check upon that because that seems irregular.

You're not the only one whose 3DS doesn't hhave problems... mines still awesomely awesome and in as a mint condition as i can maintain.

Anyways, very old news, there wont be a lite version. And my screen is not scratched from the bottom screen, it just leaves little grease marks. Someone needs to take better care of the system, maybe a little less pressure?

I'm going with this. I keep mine in a case almost any time it's not charging or being used. All I ever see on it is dust and grease. Learn to take a bit better care of your things, people.

And for those waiting for a 3DS lite, you're idiots. There won't be one. The 3DS is as compact as you can get it. The only thing there's a SLIGHT chance, very slight, is a 3DS XL.

why send back over this? either take it to the store or keep it is what I would do... I'd be a LOT more concerned over dead pixels.

It was made wobbly on purpose, to limit strain on the hinge. Some minimal wobbliness is normal but nothing over the top though.
DS lite cracked because it cause to much strain on the hinge.

That is what Nintendo told me when I called them. My DS Lite is actually perfect with no wobble at all, 100% secure

Same here.
4 Years running and still perfecto hinge

Also DS PHAT like 6 or 7 years running perfect

I wonder what some people make with their DS/3DS... I just open it and play, when I'm done I close it. And my consoles are always perfect and in a brand new condition even after years. I think it's not Nintendo's fault if you treat your hardware not nicely...

My DSi XL has no wobble at all.

Funny, because every single XL I've either owned or played has had quite noticeable wobble which I'm quite sure is by design. I believe there are actually very few that do NOT wobble.

I called them, and they said I was replaced with a BRAND NEW 3ds system. And it is suppose to snap in place with a slight wobble. Is that regular?

i'm curious. did this "new" system still have your personal information, wifi points, and stuff?

-another world

I agree. It would be quite difficult to compact it, plus it wouldn't make much sense when even bigger NGP is coming.

Actually, that will not happen. If they were to try to make that happen then you would need to hold the screen even further from your face, or they would have to increase the resolution, and neither will happen. A 3DS slim is already being designed, but they can not ever make an XL version and have it still give the same 3D effect.

Yes, all info/mii's/stats/stuff/wifi was all transferred

Most Interesting.
Most.

Impossibly un-likely:
:: it becomes an mobile

They can definitely improve it, the question however is when?
What up with you trying to make it a phone?

When you say grease marks you mean fingerprints right and not meaning you are not eating with you 3DS at hand?

And you think in the future they wouldn't improve screens to be different sizes yet same distance?

What some people want? A 3DS Micro?

This.

Sending your system back over this is being too whiney.
It's not like it ruins the system, and they get wobbly over time anyway. Are you going to send it back each time?

Idea numero dos. Nintendo should spend more than 4 seconds designing the 3DS

Are you being serious?

Wait, rephrase that then so it talks about the people that tried to get Nintendo to release it early
/what?

 

[machomuu]

Why did you send it in if the screen was wobbly? Is it really that big of a deal?

 

[Feels Good Man]

I'm returning mine again soon because of a wobby screen plus idk if my WiFi switch is broken but it doesn't always turn off or on when I hit the switch.

Did you ever have/use a DS Lite?
