I've broken the screen on my modded 2ds XL, but my local repair store refuses to work on 3ds products. I've already tried to do the repair myself before on another, and it ended poorly. I would rather not break it further. Is there any service in the continental U.S. where I could possibly have the top screen replaced? Thank you for you time.

I have literally thrown away a 3DS at some point because during a broken shell swap, i’ve torn one of the ribbons twice and came to the conclusion that cost of repairs far outweigh the cost of not doing them.

The ribbon bundle, shoved through that tiny circular hole, has got to be one of the worst design choices they’ve made

It was a good business decision - because it meant consumers can't repair their devices, and therefore have to buy new ones.

But it's terribly anti-consumer.
