Anyone knows where I can get a replacement for the Battery Cover Pack of the N3DSXL Pearl White? My stupid cousin from Dominican Republic broke it by pulling it too hard the last year...
I tried looking at Ninty shop but it's US/CANADA and does not have my color.
So does anyone knows some link from Amazon or Ebay that sells from EU?(I live in southern Italy, If you also know for the Stylus please tell)

I do have tape xd the one in the pic is like 1 year old and I am lazy to change it because i use the microsd to download "not so legal games" that are over 500mb(pokemon, xenoblade, smash etc) and with ftp it would take Ages, anyways why would I buy a totally new JAP Console (that I could just region change) (Mine was was in discount at 199 euros). If the weather gets better i will try go at game store... Else i will just buy some other colors similar to white

Thanks anyways

Hey if you are from the EU than Aliexpress is a good option, they now ship pretty quickly, at least to Spain.

I found this on ebay which is literally what i need. But i see produced in China and delivery from 5th to 11th of this month... I may just look for the whole face plate instead. I mean the galaxy skin is just 15,10 euros
The double-sided tape is to attach the plate from the inner surface for more grip and to hide the tape. Those screws won't work anymore because the plate's mounting surfaces are torn off (holes are wider than the screw heads).

Other than sourcing it from a used or broken pearl white n3DSXL, the last option is to:
  1. Buy another n3DSXL bottom plate (preferably black).
  2. Take it a professional auto spray painter to recolorize the plate to match your n3DSXL (strip, primer, color).
  3. Go to an engraver who can laser etch the label back onto the plate. Give them the broken plate for reference to scan a 1:1 copy.
  4. Go back to the spray painter to add the finishing clear enamel and polish.

Do you know any links for just the cover plate or the whole skin? I don't really mind attempting to break the camera ribbon cable

I am definitely going for option 1... as someone who does laser stuff does not exist in my city.

Going to buy the whole skin at this point I don't mind

  • S @ salazarcosplay:

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
