I use Homebrew on an O3DS XL and the hinge is broken. It's still usable, for now. I would like to know what my options are, of course without losing my access to Homebrew.
It depends how the hinge is broken. You may only need the hinge part itself, but worst case scenario is buying a whole new shell which is only 10-20$. Taking the 3ds apart is a pain. good luck.
