All the screws in my 3ds are fine except one which is like broken i guess? i cant unscrew it for a hardmod!
This happened to me once on one of my older o3ds's. The screw got broken while inside the 3ds and couldn't be unscrewed by any kind of screwdriver.
The only solution the tech found was to melt the plastic VERY CAREFULLY with a solder machine (and of course, breaking permanently that screw slot). But i had to do it for a motherboard switch...

If you can't figure out you need to use a drill to remove the screw, you really have no business soldering a hardmod...
Except vb_encryption_vb did mention the drill. the drill trick is usually done with a rubberband between the drill and the stuck screw.
Last thread before this one was created on Sunday, which makes this _slightly_ acceptable.
Just remember @olec04 that I'm watching you
Easiest way is to use a small tip drill. I used a dremel in the past on high settings and the screw head popped off. Just don't put too much downward pressure and just get the inside of the screw head to thin out and it pops off.

@Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons. -

Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

Man, that's beyond my brain I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though -

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1

Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha

@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.+1
