dont have much money so it seems like a cheaper alternative

The shell isnt the problem here, it is more on how skillful are you at disassembling the unit and reassembling the unit, I wouldnt really recommend it anyway, just a lot of work and you might end up with screen not showing any output due to damage ribbon cable etc.

They're right, buying a new unit is a lot easier but it's 30 times as expensive.

This is what you want. It's not that hard just go slow, be patient and use a teardown guide.

Edit: To those saying that he's better off buying a new one.... At least give him the benefit of the doubt. It's fairly unusable without extreme care, in it's current state. Buy a 10 dollar shell, if you ruin it... oh well, it was going to get ruined eventually anyway and you're only out 10 bucks. If you're successful though, you saved a lot of money.

Replacing the shell could work, but I bet you would have some issues due to broken ribbon cables. How did you even do that? Also, this seems to be the serious equivalent to 'help i snaped my 3ds'

WTF dude. He can buy 10 dollar shell and swap it at home. Why buy a brend new console?
Torn ribbon cables, snapped daughterboards, I doubt the LED will work, I bet the 3D will freak out, the cameras probably won't work, he might get the dreaded Black Screen with Sound Brick, perhaps the upper LCD might not work at all...

Have you seen the image?!?!?!?!
Everything seems to work, so as long as he thinks, it is a way better idea than buying a new console.

Tape. Lots and lots of tape.

If you know how to swap shells, then yes. Get a replacement shell or buy a broken 3DS off of eBay.
