New Nintendo 3DS XL 2015 A,B,X,Y, Start und Selecttaste austauschen

Schwierigkeitsgrad

Mittel

Schritte

Zeitaufwand

10 - 20 Minuten

Einleitung

Hier wird der Austausch der wichtigsten Tasten gezeigt. Vorher muss noch der Akku ausgebaut werden.

Werkzeuge

Ersatzteile

Schritt 1

Schalte das Gerät aus, du könntest es sonst beschädigen.
Lege den 3DS mit dem Boden nach oben. Entferne Game Card, Ohrhörer, Ladekabel, Stylus und was auch sonst noch verbunden ist.

Schritt 2

Drehe die beiden schwarzen JIS #0 Schrauben auf der Rückseite heraus.
Die Schrauben werden von Unterlegscheiben festgehalten und lassen sich nicht ganz entfernen.

My experience indicates that a JIS #1 is more appropriate here.

John Menden - 09/04/17

Same here, much more appropriate.

Jack Wilson - 27/05/22

Schritt 3

Wenn die Schrauben frei sind kannst du den Rückdeckel lösen.

In order to remove the back cover, slide it down towards you and then pry the cover off.

Schritt 4

Der Akku befindet sich links. In der Mitte oben ist eine kleine Lücke, hier kannst du mit einem geeigneten Werkzeug (nicht aus Metall!) hebeln.
Drücke die SD-Karte mit dem Daumennagel ein, bis es klickt und die Karte teilweise herauskommt. Ziehe sie dann ganz heraus.

Also you should remove any SD card at this point

Does this battery work on a NEW 3DS XL model?

Froggy The Frog -

This guide is for the New 3DS XL, which is called the 2015 3DS XL here on iFixit. If you're asking about the 3DS replacement battery advertised in the iFixit store, I believe it works for both new and old models.

BabblingFishes -

The battery is the same and will work on both the new and old models

Jon Fukumoto -

Schritt 5

Entferne die sechs JIS #000 Schrauben entlang des Rands der inneren Abdeckung.

the heck. on step 5 im using the 000 screwdriver from the kit and i am destroying the screw, yes going counter clockwise.

the j000 and 000 don't work. im using the toolkit from your site and i don't see a JIS #000 just J000 and 000

edit: so the j00 works.

DO NOT DO THIS. Use a JIS #00 screwdriver instead. I damaged two of my screws when using a JIS #000 screwdriver to remove them, now they need to be replaced. Also, make sure to hold down on the secondary panel while removing it's screws.

Jaden N - 16/04/24

Schritt 6

An der Oberkante befinden sich zwei Gummiabdeckungen. Ziehe sie vorsichtig mit einer Pinzette heraus.
Darunter befinden sich zwei JIS #000 Schrauben die du ebenfalls herausdrehen musst.

A #0 worked better for me than the #00

Lucas M - 11/02/16

All 8 screws from Step 5 to 6 are the same size and should be pulled out using a #000 screwdriver.

Schritt 7

Um die Abdeckung abzunehmen musst du sie vorsichtig hoch und weg vom Gelenk heben ( damit die Ohrhörerbuchse frei wird). Schwenke sie dann in Richtung des Gelenks um an die Platinen zu gelangen.
Entferne die Abdeckung nicht ganz. Sie ist immer noch mit der Hauptplatine durch empfindliche Flachbandkabel verbunden.

Schritt 8

Nimm eine Pinzette und löse die Verbinder der Flachbandkabel zu den L/R/ZL/ZR Tasten von der Hauptplatine, entferne es dann ganz. Du kannst sie auch mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers hochheben.

Schritt 9

Finde den Verbinder am Flachbandkabel der linken Tochterplatine zur Hauptplatine (es ist das breiteste). Klappe den Sicherungsbügel am ZIF Verbinder mit einer Pinzette oder dem flachen Ende des Spudgers nach oben.
Ziehe das Kabel mit einer isolierten Pinzette aus dem Sockel.

Schritt 10

Entferne die fünf 3 mm JIS #000 Schrauben an der linken Tochterplatine.

Schritt 11

Drehe die Platine vorsichtig um. Entferne das blau-schwarze Flachbandkabel auf der Rückseite.
Wenn die ABXY Tasten nach der Reparatur nicht richtig arbeiten, kannst du den durchsichtigen Aufkleber abheben und die Kontakte darunter von Korrosion befreien, so wie in diesem Video gezeigt.
Wenn du ein scharfes Werkzeug, z.B. einen Cutter dafür verwendest kann es sein, dass dann die Richtungstasten nicht mehr funktionieren.

Closely examine the connection before removing the ribbon from the board!

The C-stick ribbon is secured to the action board at the socket by a black tab that must be unlocked (swiveled up) before the ribbon is free to be removed. Yanking the ribbon from the locked connector may break off the lock and you'll be forced to replace the entire board.

The easier way to do this is to leave this ribbon connected. Go back to Step 10 and remove the three black screws securing the C-stick unit to the frame. Remove the C-stick unit along with the board and move onto Step 12.

THRILLHOUSE -

Schritt 12

Entferne die graue Gummiabdeckung um die Tasten freizulegen, oder die graue rechteckige Abdeckung für die Start/Selecttaste.
Entferne die Tasten mit der Pinzette.
Achte beim Zusammenbau darauf dass die Tasten korrekt sitzen und leichtgängig sind.

It would be good to show photos how to carefully peel off the membrane, so that the contacts can be cleaned, or replaced. This is shown in white on the PCB on photo 11. I put further details further down where someone asked a question. This applies to other 3DS models too

Abschluss

Um dein Gerät wieder zusammen zu setzen folge den Schritten in umgekehrter Reihenfolge.

do the smaller new 3ds colored buttons work in the new 3ds xl?

itsandy14 - 04/09/16

It will work, since the only difference between them is the size of screen and shell, but size of buttons and other pieces should be of the same.

CheatJoker - 03/10/16

If anyone else comes on this, I can confirm the small 3ds buttons do not quite work right they are slightly smaller and the cut outs that keep the buttons from spinning around are not the same

Demon09 - 19/12/16

Can someone provide further information about replacement of the entire C stick?

Or is it just as simple as pull the ribbon carefully, take the old one out and put the new one in?

CheatJoker - 03/10/16

There are two parts. The rubber bit, and the joystick assembly. The stick assembly is connected by 3 short screws, and inserted into the joystick board via zif connector. You need to unscrew the assembly to access the rubber bit.

The set of screws on the secondary panel are giving me trouble. I think I might be stripping them... Is it normal for them to be screwed on so tight? I don't want to pay 85 bucks just because I need to press my B button harder to make it work...

Ben Fuqua - 01/02/17

One of the screw of the second set was also giving me trouble. Just press firmly and turn very slowly. As they are not supposed to be touched by the consumer, I suspect they put a kind of sealant to make them harder to unscrew.

Alex Lebeau - 23/09/20

Mine were tight as well, make sure you're using JIS and not Philips and you should be fine. Since this is seven years later I hope you've fixed it though!

Isak -

One thing to note is that the kit that I received from ifixit had the c-stick nub attached to the board. As such, you'll want to remove the c-stick instead of disconnecting the ribbon.

Jason Thompson - 15/07/17

Would be cool to provide in every section a place where users can offer a paid service to repair devices other users are afraid to repair.

theoctopusride - 10/02/19

Does annyone know what is wrong with my new 3ds xl... So all buttons work fine BUT the a button needs alot of pressure to work. Tried to clean it but idk still needs way more pressure than the rest…

TMHate MK -

I had the same problem, the A button especially was very temperamental and had to push it very hard to trigger. I watched a video yesterday which showed carefully peeling the transparent membrane off with tweezers to get inside the metal domes (it's very sticky so was difficult to get it to start peeling, but comes away carefully once you manage to get it started, just don't peel too hard that it rips). This is what holds the 4 metal domes in place. I then cleaned them as there was slight corrosion in there. I then pushed the membrane down and reassembled where it now works perfectly. I then did the same with the D-pad which worked but didn't always trigger when it clicked but would it you pushed them slightly harder and they are working perfectly.

One tip, if possible, don't completely remove the transparent membrane. just peel it enough to gain access, so you can push back down .if you peel it completely you'll have to realign it perfectly, and if it doesn't line up they won't work. The tolerance is tight!

Andrew - 07/09/22

This guide doesn't mention that if a button is no longer working or needs to be pressed harder to work, that the contacts on the board shown in step 11 need to be replaced, not necessarily the board or the outer buttons themselves. This video shows how to replace the sticker containing the contacts. I plan to do this replacement myself when the replacement comes in. As of today, such a replacement costs about $10, whereas the board is about $15.

Isak -

Turns out that you can't edit a comment after five minutes have passed, which is dumb.

IMPORTANT FOR ANYBODY ATTEMPTING THIS FIX: Try to clean the contacts beneath the contact sticker before you do any of these replacements. It will likely fix your issue. Just be careful to realign the sticker correctly, as Andrew posted above.

Isak -

Anybody know how to fix the home button on the new 3ds xl? I can push it down fine it just doesn't register.

user596 -

Excellent guide, gave me all the information I needed to swap out the buttons on my N3DSXL. I bought a set of colored buttons from AliExpress and swapped them in. The only thing I did differently is not removing two of the ribbon cables. I didn't want to mess with them if I didn't have to, so I used something to prop the rear shell up while I was working on it and that prevented me from having to remove the cables.
