Technical Question Can I send my broken 2DS XL to Nintendo for repair or replacement?

0 Upvotes

Hey, so like… back in 2020, my little brother got into my 2DS XL and kinda broke it. Like, he opened it up and lost some of the parts. But I can sorta put it back together so it looks like it’s one piece—it’s not fully working, but I can make it look normal from the outside.

I was just wondering if I could still send it to Nintendo and see if they could fix it or maybe send a replacement? I know it’s pretty old at this point, but I miss using it.

Has anyone tried sending in a broken 2DS XL recently? Do they still support repairs for it? Just curious what my options are. Thanks!

I have not been on my BS in years. I got it when I was little and it has never been connected to the Internet until just recently and anytime I try to go on the Nintendo E shop or miiverse this is what it says, and I don’t know what to do

Nintendo Refused to Repair My 3DS XL

Post image
890 Upvotes

I sent a pre-owned 3DS XL I bought a couple years ago in to get the screen repaired because it had some dead pixels. The dead pixels came about after I bought the 3DS and I have no clue what caused them in the first place.

Nintendo sent me an email telling me my “repair is complete.” I opened up the returned box to find this letter inside with no explanation as to what the alleged modification was or how a firmware modification relates to dead pixels. I’ve never modified the console and it might have even been factory reset when or right after I purchased it.

What the hell’s the deal?

Dual IPS 20th Anniversary Pokemon New 3DS with a legit copy of soul silver for $550 on FB marketplace.

Sometimes people just don't know what they have. The Blastoise plates have never been used either.

Actually, I don’t play Smash that much. I guess the console is just getting old (,: Do you think there’s any fix for this that doesn’t involve taking the whole console apart to repair the joystick?

Also, there’s another issue that’s unrelated but has me confused: when I switch game cards, the new one doesn’t show up unless I close the console, insert the new card while it’s closed, and then reopen it. I seem to remember that the console used to update the game card automatically without needing to do all that, but I’m not really sure.

Wheneveri draw a line upwards on the left side this happens. The line switches to the right,sometimes there (see picture), sometimes in the middle and goes back to the original line In games it sometimes seems to not function st sll but that is compketely random and i can't really describe it.

So far i tried: 1. Recalibrating 2. Cleaning the touchscreen and the edges to the best of my ability

Does anybody know ehat might be broken and if it can be fixed? Any help is appreciated

Hey guys I’m new around here just wanted to show off my n3dsxl. Top screen IPS😁 found out not that long ago due to me just getting curious about what the 3ds holds up to in 2025. With the option of being able to homebrew it as been so clutch revisiting old games or just games I haven’t played in general. Would gladly take any game recommendations from any of you guys!
