    • Bevor du mit der Reparatur beginnst:

    • Entferne den Stylus

    • Entferne die Game Cartridge

    • Entferne die SD-Karte

    This is a great repair instructional, but I would advise also looking at the below video link. (I used both.) Sometimes watching 2 repair guides can help when you think you think you’re stuck. For example, I had a really hard time getting the hinge off!

    (HINT: Works best if you rotate it 180 degrees, so that you are repairing it from the same perspective as the technician)

    • Drehe die vier 6 mm Tri-Point-Schrauben in den Ecken der Rückabdeckung heraus.

    The Y0 was too big; I ended up using a Y00 and that worked fine

    Christopher Gilmer-Hill -

    Would not recommend using a Y000 like I tried to do

    Daniela Magaña-Ochoa -

    gotta use Japanese Industry Standard YOO (blunt end)- I did not, and accidentally stripped two of the screws… still trying to figure out how to remove them -_-;

    Yanko Artidiello -

    Yeah I can confirm, the y0 does not work.

    Arc Turus -

    I'm using the Y-0.6 and seems to only unscrew 2 of the screws on the right side of the handheld, the other 2 aren't moving

    • Sei vorsichtig beim Trennen der unteren und oberen Gehäusehälften und beschädige nicht die drei an der Hauptplatine angeschlossenen Kabel. (Eines auf jeder Seite und eines hinten).

    • Heble die untere und obere Gehäusehälfte mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers behutsam voneinander.

    • An der Scharnierseite sind viele Rasten, wir empfehlen, zuerst an einer kurzen Seite und den beiden langen Seiten anzufangen, dann erst die letzte kurze Seite zu bearbeiten.

    You need to be super careful separating the top from the bottom at the rear end. I got stuck there, applied a lil more force and ripped the right shoulder button straight off the pcb!

    • Ziehe die beiden Kabel, die die beiden hinteren Tasten auf jeder Seite mit der Hauptplatine verbinden behutsam nach oben und trenne sie ab.

    I unfortunately took off the base of one when trying to pull apart. Is there a fix or will it not be broken?

    Phoenix Typhoon -

    Did you manage to fix this at all?

    Owen McKay -

    When you are putting these cables back, make sure to check the orientation of the cable. You have to match the cable head to the entry point, so you may have to turn the cable around. I spent a bit too much time trying to connect the cables just because I didn't realize that I had to turn the cable around.

    • Hebe den Akku mit einem Spudger heraus.

    • Denke dran, dass der Akku mit einem Klebepad in seinem Fach festgeklebt ist. Es kann schon sein, dass du mehrere Werkzeuge benutzen musst, um den Akku aus seinem Fach und von der Hauptplatine zu lösen.

    Some might see this as an optional step. But you probably do NOT want to skip this. I did, and now I have malfunctions on the Nintendo (touch screen functionality not working, possibly as a result of shorts from skipping this step.)

    skat1140 -

    Personally, I skipped this step and everything still works fine. I wasn't able to take the battery out because the adhesive was too strong.

    • Löse das in Bild 1 gezeigte Flachbandkabel ab. Fädle es durch den rechteckigen Schlitz unter der Pinzette.

    • Rolle das Kabel sorgfältig zusammen, so dass du es durch das zylinderförmige Scharnier schieben kannst.

    How do you disassemble the hinge?

    Kevin Jones -

    I wiggled the top screen and with a pair of tweezers, grabbed the barrel that comes out of the left hinge. There might be an easier way, but the home is essentially the same on DSi XL's and these, and I have done them both the same way many times.

    Sometimes it helps to stand it up on its right side and open and close the hinge to wiggle it out

    Chris Julian -

    This step seems to be leaving out a crucial part: removing the other hinge, the one opposite where the ribbon cable threads through. And it is not easy! You basically have to “pick” at it with a small screwdriver or tweezers, trying to tease it out. I did a pretty poor job, mauling it terribly but eventually got it out without destroying it. (Used some WD-40 in the end which might have helped; I sprayed into a cup, then dabbed it on the hinge with a toothpick. Made sure to clean it all off when I before reassembly.) This video shows a successful hinge removal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zuu_T2ls...

    skat1140 -

    I noticed that too. Was able to remove the connector by evenly grasping along the ribbon with my needle nose pliers. Came out effortlessly.

    Conner Vike -

    To remove the hinge pin (the one without a cable through it) it is also nice to know: the inner metal part is firmly connected to a thin black shroud. This is way easier to grab and move. I first tried just pull the metal part, that was unnecessarily difficult. Just accept the plastic mantle around it will get some stab marks and pull there.

    • Entferne die beiden Schrauben, mit denen die Kunststoffabdeckung befestigt ist. Dadurch wird das rote WiFi-Kabel frei, welches das obere Display und das Gehäuse verbindet.

    This is an optional step. You can get the red wifi antenna wire out without taking out the plate.

    • Trenne das WiFi-Kabel ab und löse es aus seinen Führungen am Batteriefach und an der eben entfernten Kunststoffabdeckung.

    • Schiebe den Zylinder heraus, der die andere Seite des Scharniers zusammenhält.

    • Bei meinerm 2DSXL konnte ich die obere Gehäusehälfte mit dem Zylinder soweit herauswackeln, um ihn mit einer Pinzette zu fassen.

    Removing the hinge is easier if you open the clamshell all the way, push it out a little bit with a spudger, then close it. It’ll fall right out.

    Amateur Programmer -

    This step is impossible for me? I'm going to try to move forward without detaching the top screen completely and hopefully it will work. The cylinder won't budge.

    Susan Radzimski -

    I was able to complete the screen replacement without completely detaching the top screen. It was a little more cumbersome, but the cylinder wouldn't come out of the hinge.

    Susan Radzimski -

    There's a certain angle that you must put the screen on so the hinge aligns and drops out by itself. You can't pull it by forcing, you just need to set the right angle.

    • Führe das Flachbandkabel und das rote WiFi-Kabel ganz durch das Scharnier.

    • Das obere Gehäuseteil ist nun frei und du kannst den Rest vom Gerät bis zum Zusammenbau zur Seite legen.

    • Meine Bilder sind leider nicht so gut, aber man sieht doch, wie die Kabel durch einen Schlitz im Scharnier des oberen Gehäuseteils verlaufen. Hole die Kabel behutsam aus dem Schlitz heraus und löse sie von den beiden Stiften ab, mit denen sie am Rahmen des Gehäuses festgehalten werden.

    • Setze einen Spudger in die Kante der Kunststoffplatte am oberen Gehäuseteil ein. Heble hoch, bis sich der Kleber löst. Die Platte wird nur durch eine große Klebefläche gehalten.

    • Unter der Platte findest du vier Schrauben (rot markiert) , die die Rückseite befestigen.

    • Entferne die Schrauben und löse die Rückseite ab. Das Display und die Kunststoffblende werden frei.

    I broke my case by following the teardown video. Please don’t be like me. I wanted to get this out so that other readers here are prepared to fix their top screen or some potential power-on issues (turns on and immediately shuts off) like I have.

    Chris Julian -

    Wow, Nintendo was not shy with the glue. I’ve been working fifteen minutes on prying off the top shell, and I’m little more than halfway done. All I can say to anyone else trying this is be patient and work slowly so nothing breaks. I had to get a credit card to put under part of the shell as I went to keep it from sticking again after I pried it up.

    RagManX -

    I found the little plastic iFixit picks to be helpful here, since it was pretty hard getting the plastic to stay up with just the spudger; that said, any piece of plastic would probably work once you get the first edge/corner up.

    Christopher Gilmer-Hill -

    There is a missing step between step 5 and 6, I think. In step 5, the top case is still attached to bottom case. But in step 6, you can clearly see from the photo that the top case is already separated from the bottom case. But there is no instruction on how to do that!

    David Lin -

    The top case was already removed. It does not need to be removed to perform this specific step. Please read through the steps that follow, and the steps will make more sense. My case was already apart and I was documenting the steps in order for everyone else, although mine was already disassembled since it did not exist here yet.

    I apologize for any confusion this has caused.

    Chris Julian -

    I rearranged the steps to hopefully alleviate the confusion. I recommend taking the top backing plate off first before removing the top screen from the device. Whether you do that first or remove the entire top screen first, the guide is still complete in its entirety.

    Hopefully this helps!

    Chris Julian -

    DO NOT USE THE “TEARDOWN VIDEO” AS A GUIDE for this; you’ll notice in that video all four screws are broken off! Also: You do NOT need a hot gun to warm the adhesive. Just use a flat rectangular spudger-type tool: insert and work it down. (Maybe use an Exacto blade to gently start it off, then go spudger all the way.) I made a spudger out of the material used in plastic milk containers and it worked great: came off easy with no heat gun, no bending or deformation of the plastic cover.

    • Heble behutsam rund um die Oberkante des Gehäuses herum. (Das Gehäuse im Bild ist gesprungen, aber nicht durch diese Reparatur). Der Kunststoff ist sehr dünn, sei also bei diesem Schritt sehr vorsichtig.

    • Die Frontscheibe ist aus Kunststoff und mit einigen Klebstoffklecksen am Rahmen befestigt. Verwende mehrere Kunststoffwerkzeuge und löse nach und nach die Scheibe vom Rahmen und der Blende ab.

    • Lege die Blende bis zum Zusammenbau zur Seite.

    Notice how the Bezel is broken in the middle picture? Be aware of how delicate it is! (But if you do break it (like I did). No big whoop. Just a drop of super glue when you are reassembling it and no one will ever notice.

    • Die Scheibe ist aus Kunststoff und kann vorsichtig vom Display weggezogen werden. Werkzeuge aus Kunststoff sind dabei sehr hilfreich.

    • Tauschen das Display aus und fange mit dem Zusammenbau an.

    • Achte auf das Flachbandkabel im Scharnier, es kann leicht beschädigt werden.

    What about the inside screen

I think there is a missing step between step 5 and 6. I followed the instructions until step 5, but couldn’t figure out how to separate the top case from the bottom case. In step 6, you can see the top case has been separated from the bottom case. But no instruction is given on how to do that.

David Lin -

The hinge only has one component holding it together from coming apart. It is on the left hi he as you look at it like you're playing. The hinge component is a small barrel that resides inside the hinge. You have to open and close it while it is on its right side and try to grab with a pair of tweezers onto the edge of the barrel.

Chris Julian -

Didn’t follow exactly how to disconnect the top section fully.

Brian Shuler -

Hopefully I can assist you. Where are you getting stuck? The barrel on the left hinge is a bit difficult to remove. I opened and closed the hinge a few times with the left hinge up off the desk. While doing this, I watched for the edge of the barrel to poke out so I could grab it with angled tweezers. That was the hardest part of removing the top half for me personally, but it is almost exactly like the DSi XL, and I have disassembled many of those already. My kids are NOT gentle with electronics.

After getting the barrel out on the left hinge, coil up the ribbon cable around the wifi antenna and slide it through the right side of the hollow hinge.

Chris Julian -

Does this work with the pokeball edition of the 2ds?

DocWhoGaming -

They &&^&@@ up the top part disassembly, you are supposed to remove the black part in the center, then remove the screws that are below it to disasemble the lid/top lcd, and not break it like in the video, poor job.

pedro_rotoli -

I agree that they did. On that post, they made a mention in the comments that the teardown was not intended to be a disassembly. Unfortunately, I broke my first one following that, too. This is what prompted me to post these pictures when my kids decided to be rough on their DS’s again.

Hopefully you can find replacement parts like I did!

Chris Julian -

how do you replace the hole top panel and the riben wire that goes with it?

R M -

There is something sketchy here, in step 7 where you removed the plastic plate, you can clearly see that this plate wasn’t there in step 6, it seem you removed it before, forgotten about it, put it back together and got on with it, but the problem is that it affects how you disassemble it, please redo this but in the proper order, specially because you don’t show how the wifi cable is positioned, before removing it, how do you expect people to put it back together if you can’t tuck away properly the wifi cable?
