You will have to retrofit with a replacement micro SD card slot reader that may or may not fit.

8 pins from the back and several solder points on the sides is what seems to hold the reader in place.

Spoiler: n2DSXL micro SD card slot

The two parts I found most similar in shape and layout are the Nintendo Switch micro SD reader and SAMSUNG U600 U608 #C-213.

For the Switch part, you would have to solder it's reader off before transplanting it onto the n2DSXL motherboard. It is also the more expensive option of the two but looks guaranteed to fit since it's a related Nintendo design.

For the Samsung part, you may need to secure this reader with some semi-permanent glue as there aren't solder points on the sides. Don't use super glue if you ever need to repair this again in the future.

Just wondering if anyone ever did try the Switch's micro SD card reader in a 2DS XL...
