Hardware New 3ds XL Shell.

[uniagb]

Hey,
My back 3ds shell (The shell that covers the battery) has snapped. I was wondering if there is anywhere I can get a cheap knockoff one? Thanks.

They are less than $15 from Nintendo directly.

Oh, never mind. I found my old new 3ds xl one. I need a screw as I am missing a screw from my current one and my old one i've lost them all. Links to the screws used for the n3dsXL backplate?

Screw isn't effective once you remove the washer from the screw and try to put them on another set of cover, they just become somewhat loose.

I don't think you understand. I want to know what type of screw the backplate uses.

Call/email them, only Nintendo of America openly sells them online to the best of my knowledge...

Don't think anyone actually sells them loose, but - at least on the small model - you don't need them in the first place a cover in proper shape should stay hooked in place by itself, in fact I removed them years ago

Wait, I am confused. What are you trying to say?

There isnt any sellers as far as I know that sells the screw along with the mounting washer, as in taking the screw from one cover to replace it on another cover, it just loosen the screws from the washer, making it loose, that what I am saying.

At least on the small N3DS, the bottom shell (as well obviously as the top one) has plastic clips that are enough to hold it in, even without the screws, so maybe you don't really need them in the first place; but I'm not sure about the XL
