That liquid damaged 2ds board may still be fixable. Soak it in isopropyl, get a toothbrush, and scrub that corrosion off. Could bring it back to life.

I remember my original 3DS which I got off ebay "unused, unwanted christmas present" came with a parental lock on it. Nintendo customer support in the UK made me MAIL IT TO THEM to get it removed and factory reset the device. I didn't really care in the long run since I got a pretty much new 3DS for like half the retail price, and a few years later it was superceded by my New 3DS anyway.

There is one potential problem. You need to put the serial number that goes with the working board on it or if you or anyone else tries to do a system transfer with Nintendo it will transfer to the dead board and not the working one you have now.

Hey man thanks for this video! I have my 2ds still the red and black one, but the right trigger got destroyed from castlevania games and it was all around in terrible shape from pokemon battling years ago. My joystick fell off etc. This helped me get a replacement joystick and put it on and clean out the triggers & buttons. Thanks again!

9:21 casually spins stylus like a pro haha your channel is awesome

I was actually thinking about buying the blue one from ebay but completely forgot about it. I thought it would be a simple fix! Congratulations on getting it working!

I remember the 2DS I had been playing with in bed and my dad took the sheets to clean them, but the 2DS got stuck in the sheets and went through the washing machine AND dryer. While I'm sorta glad it went through the dryer right after coming out I'm mostly glad it didn't melt. It didn't work at first when we found out about it, but we left it in rice to more thoroughly dry and my mom bought me an identical one. About a week later when it arrived the old one turned on (it only worked plugged in, the battery couldn't hold a charge anymore) and it lasted long enough for me to connect the new one to the internet and perform a system transfer. Kinda wish my parents sold the parts, it was mostly working aside from some blotches in the screen and the battery having literally gone through the wash. That was my second 2DS, I don't want to go into detail about what happened to the first one, I think 'dropped by your brother from the second story window' would void the warranty.

I'm only just discovering the concept of home refurbing. I'm doing a couple updates on my 2012 macbook (simple stuff), so seeing how many improvements can be made to old hardware fascinates me.

my left trigger is broken, and un responsive. i pulled apart the system and noticed that the trigger button housing is detached. will soldering it work? if so then how can i find the parts?

this video randomly came in my youtube recomended.. and now I got my old 3ds parental code restored bcs no one knew it- oh my

now can you make it comfortable to hold?

I remember one day two years ago my mom woke me up in the summer because she saw on Facebook someone in the neighborhood had a red crystal 2ds at a garage sale for 15 dollars. It worked perfectly and had basically no damage. The kid barely used it and it kinda left me a little sad to see his play time. I gave my old 3ds that was pretty banged up to my friend for her birthday because she really loved animal crossing and wanted something to play it with.

Hi Elliott can you do a teardown of the dead screen? Is it really just 1 LCD panel? Does the unused part light up or anything appear on it?

Honestly, i just love your channel and your work. Everything seems so genuine and some of your stuff is absolutely amazing. Becoming a big fan, keep it going!

I just found one of the transparent blue 2ds in a bin at work just waiting on a charger to see if anything needs sorting

I had the same problem with the parent code and this really helped

I'd love to have a 2DS in that specific design at the moment. Back when it was on sale they wanted horrendous prices of over 200€ though. I'm not confident enough to try and get me a replacement shell and a cheaper model. >_

(psst, you cant replace only half the screen, as you mentioned, its one big screen, the sectioned off parts are just covered in take to cover from glare) its done in software to look like two

you should make something like this.... i wanna know where can i get parts on the unit especially the buttons....

7:06 The sleep was one but I’m not sure if that helps

I liked this one needed to know if it safe to replace the screen. I thought it was a two piece screen.my 2ds had a bad flat fall. Now bottom screen a bit burnt out. Still works just the color tone off.

I wish I knew how to remove parental lock back when I got my used 3DS and New3DS. Had to contact Nintendo and they wanted a copy of my ID and it definitely took longer than what you have done here.

I own two of these. The link edition one and the seafoam green one. I use to trash talk the 2ds until I held one and said to myself it feels like a gameboy. Now I do like the 3ds but I chose to get a 2ds and they are a lot cheaper and easy to fix. Love your channel man. Keep up the good work man.

The top screen on my New 3DS XL is cracked, it has this black fluid looking area (not actually fluid) around the entire screen. This reminded me of it.

I recently came close to buying a 2DS off eBay where the shell was absolutely trashed but looked like the internals should be fine, but I stopped when I discovered that I couldn't find any replacement shells on AliExpress or eBay. I found the back half but the amount they were charging for it (without the front piece, which I couldn't even find) plus what the seller was asking put it over what I was finding for a working 2DS... Didn't find any faulty ones with good shells for less than what the broken shell one was going for, which I think I could have negotiated down to $50 but walked before I got that far

Its actually ONE entire screen, and NOT 2. some trickery was done by Nintendo to save money, and only programmed the pixels required to give the illusion of 2 screens. This is why they most likely when with a design that wont fold.

Yo just a heads up if you want to reset your parental controls, hard reset your 2DS.

What cable would I need to disconnect internally to disable wi fi?

for about 5 or 6 years of owning my 3ds I had a parental lock on it (cause I was quite young, I got it when it was basically just out). then one day I was just messing around with it and what did you know the password was my bloody birthday. Wow!
