This is a guide on how to replace the hinge/midframe of the Nintendo 3DS XL. A broken hinge on the 3DS XL can lead to more damage to the midframe if left broken. This leads to the device not closing properly or feeling uncomfortable to use. Thus, it is necessary to replace the midframe when it becomes too damaged. The process of replacing this part is a bit difficult and has a lot of small steps, so a guide is needed to lead people through the process. This guide will show you every step in the process of disassembling a 3DS XL properly, since a few of the parts are a bit delicate. The replacement does not need any prior knowledge on technology to do. The process does require patience and carefulness.

the photos leave a lot to be desired as I can't even see the small part that you take off to access the hinge itself unfortunately and now I am stuck with a completely taken apart 3ds lx that does not work without taking off the hinge.

I've found a video on YouTube that goes over hinge replacements. I'm also trying to fix and replace my 3DS shell and I've used this as a tutorial.

Also when looking up 3DS replacements and tutorials read the comments! People go over a lot of support and their own personal experiences and tips.
