I don't think a broken touchscreen is included in warranty since it's very likely you broke it yourself.

Twin retro shut the hell up if you have nothing better to say. I will inform Costello on you :angry: :angry: :angry:

Calm down newbie. All I'm asking is what your question is, or if you're just ranting. If it's just a rant, it belongs in the Blogs section. What's with the rage, broski?

Also, I'm sure Costello wouldn't appreciate you using him as a threat.

Let me ask his question:

I'd let my 3DS fall down somewhere. My Touch Screen does not work anymore, I'd send it to Nintendo for repairs. It is still under warranty and they let me pay $117,- for repairs. Is it legal to ask me this amount of money for just some repairs?

Asnwer:

It is understandable that Nintendo won't repair this thing for free since YOU let it fall somewhere, like you said I did let it fall, and if I fellow the law(international laws and warranty rules from Nintendo) then I should be correct with my statement since it was your fault.

117 DOLLARS? DOLLARS? EXCUSE ME, then buy a new one instead, since the repair costs are way too high. Buying a new 3DS would have more pro's

And narutopet112, don't be mad smile! Else I will post a song(Be Happy - SNSD) in this topic ;P

Sorry bro a little mad :(

No harm done, just be careful about the way you approach people on the forums. You don't have many posts, and you havn't left much of an impression yet. Just make sure whatever impression you do make is a good one. Once you get a bad rep on the forums, it's hard to get rid of.

Etcome has one for sale: http://www.etcome.com/product/genuine-new-bottom-lcd-screen-replacement-for-3ds.html

You need to know what you're doing tho, or you'll just mess up your 3DS even more.

You need to know what you're doing tho, or you'll just mess up your 3DS even more.

Just be aware, even though this is the bottom LCD, if your actual touch panel is broken, that's a completely separate part that you will have to buy separately.
Good point, I have no idea how extensive his damage is, it could be just the screen cracked (the bottom screen is plastic or something similar so meh, cracking isn't really the word), or it could have damaged some other parts too, like the ribbon cable and etc.
But that's something he needs to find out for himself or post pictures of.

its not a bad idea. Well i have enough money but its to much for touchscreen repair. I will maybe buy a new one
To be honest you could prob sell your broken one on ebay for a fair amount, you used to be able to get £50 for the broken ones on ebay when they were £120 to buy new, i know its less £70 but its better than nothing

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
