Hardware Removing 3DS's top screen possible?

[ErdeFB]

Hello

Has anyone ever tried to remove it? Or knows how? I have heard that if you disconnect the top screen
the whole system stops responding. I'm no electrician so I have no idea how I'd circumvent this.

Why would I want to do this you ask? I have soldered on a screen capture device on my system
(yes I can solder without knowing that much how electric devices operate ).

I want to be able to output the top screen out directly and just have the bottom half for the necessary
touch controls.

Eventually I will order a custom case to be manufactured and put some extra goodies in, but for now
I need to find out how to get that top screen off safely.

Any ideas/tips?

try disconnectig the top screen ribbon cable and the 2 cables which enter the speaker flex. but make sure you connect the speaker flex to the 3ds

It's possible but entirely pointless - I never quite understood the point of removing an essential part of the system. At least you have a capture device connected - that way you can still properly play the games.
