Hacking Question before I try uninstalling CFW on my New 3DS so I can try to send it to Nintendo for repairs.

[Nawwo]

I just learned my 3DS isn't one of the models listed on the support site that can't be repaired so I want to see if I can send it in to get it fixed (tiny c-stick has never worked, my R button doesn't work 90% of the time, the screens would sometimes turn white before I hacked it but then it stopped). I know I'd mess something up trying to take it apart myself so I'm not even gonna try that. :/ Has anyone ever sent a hacked 3DS in and gotten it successfully repaired instead of sent back to you as is? Or somehow hid the fact that it's hacked? If not, I'll just attempt to unhack it with the guide and hope for the best.

If there's some other place I could send it to get it fixed that'd be great too.

I don't think Nintendo does repairs of the 3ds anymore.

Oh. Well thanks for telling me before I got my hopes up too much.

Most likely they'd have just sent a replacement.

If you model is no longer on that list, then they won't repair it.

Nintendo no longer offers factory repairs for the following systems:

• Original Nintendo 3DS - Model No. CTR-001 - Serial numbers begin with “CW” or “CB”
• Original Nintendo 3DS XL - Model No. SPR-001 - Serial numbers begin with “SW” or “SB”
• New Nintendo 3DS - Model No. KTR-001 - Serial numbers begin with “YW”

Anyway here is the model they won't repair anymore.
