While i was trying to fix the calibration, i noticed that my touch screen display is few pixels moved on the left. This results that while i was doing the calibration, the calibration is not centred when i'm touching, for example, the upper right corner. I got my 3ds like few days ago and this has already happened. Is this normal? Is there a workaround for this?

you have a defective product. if its under warranty take it back to the store or send it to nintendo for a replacement. if not under warranty, its fairly easy to replace the screen yourself.

I think there is a loss on all 3dses and it is a hardware fault, so there is no workaround for this...

Is that true? I never believed Nintendo did this... i feel a little bad about this and i don't think i can tell my dad about taking it to fix it. It might be a used console, probably...

get back to the store and get a replacement...
i had a 3ds that after a few days the touchscreen stopped working (it looked like it was permanently pressed down)
do it quick in europe, if you get back to the store in the first 15 days you can get a direct replacement\return. after 15 days the store will sent it to repair which can leave you 1 month without the console (and risk being returned with scratches which they will blame you)

if you are in the first 15 days, and they want to send to repair, ask for a refund, and buy another one.

It is usually small, for me almost 2-3 pixels down, but I got used to it...
Might be the same for me or less or more.

I gotten afraid to recalibrate it again because of it, but if i take it to the store, can my NAND and stuff be safe after the replacement? (I have arm9loaderhax.bin on the CTR NAND)

Alright. Might not be the hardware fault here cuz i have a wii u with same problem. It happened while cleaning gamepad screen. When i use the WII U stylus it is not well calibrated. altho!!! When i use the new 3ds xl stylus all works very very well and i get a much better more accuracy on the touchscreen.

Do 3ds styluses have differences?!

Well, imo their more roundish at the end and they are a bit more softer with the end again. Here what makes me happy about a stylus :

Is the stylus good to be held in hands? (Size and shape)

Is the touching part too soft or too big?

How expansive is it for replacement?


And answering your question : well all nintendo styluses are made differently. Just make sure to test different ones of different systems before claiming the hardware's fault. :)

I thought cleaning would make things better until you said that, because i've noticed that there's lines i've left after some uses of my new 3ds' pen that came with it...

I've been thinking to return it since i've told my dad about it, but a Discord friend told me that it might not accept unless i uninstalled a9lh. Is it literally possible to send it to repairs even if modified?

Dealing with 2-3 pixel difference might be worth it over uninstalling A9LH

You're quite right, i tried playing around Pokemon Art Academy and i can atleast manage to draw a rough replica of a lesson result, even thought the upper corner on the right can get me driven off on the drawing point.
But sometimes it gets me upset, and yet i cannot do nothing good with it :P

I guess it also depends how much you actually use the touchscreen. If you are playing pokemon art academy, then of course you are going to need the touchscreen. I just cant remember a game I played that heavily required touchscreen input.
