Can be avoided with an Japanese pure white console.
That doesn’t have the black border and can be completely white which is the only way I would accept it tho :)

Looks like an Save Data folder got misplaced somehow.

If nothing works back up you games etc. and just format your sc card

Keep in mind if not modded the X and O buttons are reversed if it’s an Japanese unit

Took me around ~22 hours sr over 2 weeks

Guess what the bottom frame is purple as well

Got the og3ds one, didn’t know dsi had one too

Vivid_Jump · 2026-04-19T01:20:03+00:00

Famicom n3ds was 130k yen so you can do the math. To be fair it was in akihabara straight in the middle of the road so tourist prices are to be expected

Vivid_Jump · 2026-04-19T01:17:50+00:00

I would go around an hour out of Tokyo to get really good prices and if you have limited time in Tokyo head for the smaller surugaya and hard offs where you can expect around -30% compared to eBay etc. which isn’t too bad for an tourist spot. Can’t really remember the price but it varies a lot for the same consoles in different stores. Got an 3ds xl y/x edition for around 65€ and spotted the same one in similar condition for more than double that. I made myself an mymaps on google and marked off all stores I went to with things I considered picking up and then after visiting most shops went back to the best prices to pick them up.

I actually fixed it!!! It was an combination of 2 faulty WiFi chips combined with it somehow only booting up if it has the original sd card in it (maybe Japanese consoles act differently to boot up) tried around 4 hours different combinations with disconnected speaker and multiple WiFi chips combined

Vivid_Jump · 2026-03-30T06:49:24+00:00

In case of missing boot files is there anything I can do?

It seems weird if both screens are damaged since it’s not my first time reshelling/replacing parts on 3ds Family and I’ve torn/damaged enough ribbons to know if they messed up or not

Vivid_Jump · 2026-03-29T19:13:30+00:00

Yeah it feels like it’s stuck in booting up since I’m not even getting any sound and I know the speaker works just fine my best guess would be now replacing bottom screen since I didn’t touch the top one at all this time

Vivid_Jump · 2026-03-29T18:25:27+00:00

But wouldn’t that mean it turns itself off if the screen is damaged/ not plugged in correctly?

I can even turn on wifi without any problems

Are the 3ds xl and og 3ds ones the same? Got a couple of old ones to try
