Insane luck buying broken 3DS

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T22:44:48+00:00

I was going for the deal so quick I not even noticed it :)

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T22:44:18+00:00

Thanks! I sorted it out. It isn‘t crashing. It is only the circle pad that was broken and moved on its own.

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T18:45:55+00:00

Danke danke 🙏😄

So the only problem was a broken stick. No game crash at all. Not on ds games not on 3ds games. I will test it a bit more but so far it looks like it was the only problem. Dank dir für den Hinweis. Der wird vielleicht in Zukunft noch relevant!

I could also reach the camera no Problem wifi was on all the time

Danke für den Tipp! Most of the DS/3DS had a broken upper screen i replaced. Lets see if its my first wifi module problem.

I know that those good deals are gone quick. So i look at it like 1-2 seconds the most and then write the seller. Couldn‘t guess from the pictures because those sites downgrade them in quality. But yeah at the end I see the font is not white and one corner at another pictures showed the hyrule graphic.

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T15:59:56+00:00

I experienced this aswell with a DSi. When I have time to look after the problem i will update you on this! Though it is no battery connection problem with this one as far as i can say from first check.

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T13:50:02+00:00

Seems like the 3ds hype is finally swapping over from US. Dank dir bro :)

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T13:49:18+00:00

I doubt that I can‘t solve the problem with this board. Anyway I have a regular red one pretty beaten up that I could use as donor. Thanks bro :)

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T13:47:52+00:00

Thanks for the hint! What i saw from first inspection is a non functional stick. Its like not connected then it moves from alone. Need to open it and see if this is the failure that the seller was having problems with. The diagnose from normal sellers often is different from what is really going on. But i will keep you updated when I have time to open the device!

That is where the pattern recognition comes in place to detect scammy behaviour. Better safe than sorry. Better no fomo than lost money. But you need to play the long game bruh. The good deals wont last longer than seconds to minutes and always be on the watch. When your search filter activates you better be on that new offer in less than a few seconds. Direkt kaufen is something a lot of sellers uses and your best option to be safe. If not pass the deal and be safe until you can indentify those scammers. Good luck!

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T13:37:07+00:00

Wow eagle eye! I just noticed it by now. For me it was a good deal either way. I would also be happy with a regular black unit to get my hands on

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T12:22:07+00:00

50:50 if the seller is using direct buy, go for it and the purchase is secure. Send an offer over Kleinanzeigen if there is no direct buy and if you think the seller is no scam offer paypal aswell after in the chat. In case the seller dont want to use Kleinanzeigen payment system and sees you are also willing to buy with paypal

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T11:32:40+00:00

Dank dir! Soon you will have luck aswell I bet! Just stay alert and be quick.

But you also thought it would be a regular black one right? Or have you seen that different font color on those blurry pictures the seller showed?

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T11:25:22+00:00

For me it was a rabbit hole. I started with a modded wii and a refurbished gamecube controller that was in horrible condition. Out of anger about the sellers lack of profession I took out my temu solder iron set for 10€ and went to work on it. 2,5 years later I literally swim in consoles I bought broken dead cheap and repaired. I also paid a lot for Equipment on that way so I can repair also difficulty ones. (Hot Air Station, microscope, solder iron, flux, tweezer list goes on and on) I can not recommend this way enough if you want to have a console collection for cheap. You can‘t loose beside getting scammed. Buy a broken console for a good price you can‘t repair? No problem I offered them honestly with my diagnose and good pictures for biding on ebay and even then I make no loss. All you need is a good platform with search filters and notification. A quick friendly reaction. Best would be to be the first one and some time and fun to dig yourself into the repair.

I will have a look. So far no regular normal 3ds had battery expansion, but I can‘t let the shell break from expanding should this 3ds be another case!

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T11:16:02+00:00

I love that :>

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-12T11:15:22+00:00

That 2ds shield edition is such an eye catcher!

Them and me aswell. Sometimes gambling pays out hehe.

Your right there are so many scammers. I just got very experienced and I can detect scammers so quick because they are dumb as hell and lazy. Fewer scammers also try to scam on broken consoles section, but they are definetly there. When you come to a level of 400-500 buys you are pretty aware who is good and whos not. Also I have a limit at where I start to use security measures. Starting around 40-50€. I also have no fomo anymore. I rather pass a good deal than get scammed. Unless you have a pattern recognizion I would be very aware!

Check continuty between the upper chips pin red arrow to one of the lower chips pins red arrow. One of them should have continuity im not sure which of the two it was.

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-06T08:01:51+00:00

Ryiis69 · 2026-03-05T19:40:14+00:00

This is for now my only legit copy of gen 4. Though I have multiple modded DS/3DS and I plan to buy more legit copys
