I just bought this 3DS XL on eBay because it has 4.5.0-U10; so sending it for repair to Nintendo would be an extreme risk for me.
The circle pad gets stuck going any direction I move it in. I move it right, it gets stuck moving right unless I move it bad to the center. I can lift my finger and it still moves when in the right position.
Is there anything I can do to stop it from getting stuck? Some have told me telfon spray and oil..... That doesn't sound like a good idea to me though..
Any help is appreciated!

I did get this 3DS XL free because the seller on eBay gave a full refund without asking to send it back and closed the case. I've waited over 2 weeks and still no response from him, so eBay said for me to keep both and just leave a good feedback.

I got my 3DS XL via UPS this morning with 7.1.0 on it. The circle pad was repaired correctly. I called Nintendo and the male rep said "I couldn't help but notice the BOLD letters on the notes of the repair order to (DO NOT UPDATE SYSTEM FIRMWARE PAST 4.5.0-10U) So I'm gonna send this to the back office and they should respond by emailing you with in the next 2 business days. They shouldn't have updated it since it was in the notes and in the letter you included in the package with 3DS XL. So they will contact the repair office and ask them why they updated it, and see what they can do to fix this problem. We typically will fix an issue like this, long as their wasn't any Homebrew found on the system."
Sooo, yeah Glad I didn't install the Gateway menu on it before sending it. I did get the system for free anyways, so no lost. I can just sell it and get another one with 4.3-4.5 on it. Already found one and watching it. But I'm going to give Nintendo to "redeem" themselves and wait for their email.

01/07/14Nintendo received my 3DS-XL this morning. It should be update the status of the repair in the morning (01/10/14)
Just called Nintendo, the guy said "the lady from before did include notes of not updating the 3DS XL. The technicians normally do only what the notes says" and that he is confident they won't update it to Miiverse (7.1)
