I haven't been using this 3DS XL like at all. I'm deliberating on reattaching the top screen and selling it, but this is a one of a kind 3DS XL due to having no top screen, so it would feel like a waste to put it back to normal.

I have a creaky L button on my Vita 1000, much like on this vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S33l9eiob5A I tried loosening the screw, but I'm not sure it really did the trick. Also, loosening the screw causes the L button to rattle when you shake the Vita, and you hear a clink whenever you...

I plugged in headphones and confirmed the system is working aside from the screen, so I purchased a replacement screen on ebay. EDIT: I replaced the screen and it works now! Everything's back to normal and I even got the new system firmware with different colored themes!

Two updates: First... A few days ago someone on youtube told me that you can get the bottom screen working simply by attaching the cameras. But I have no idea if that's true. (EDIT: I just tried this and it didn't work. *shrug*) Secondly... MY SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING!! Help please! Here's a...

This ebay listing mentions PSP! http://www.ebay.com/itm/T2-Torx-Key-Screwdriver-Screw-Driver-Repair-Tool-For-Sony-PSP-1000-2000-Housings-/271505581034?pt=AU_Hand_Tools&hash=item3f36fe63ea So I guess it is a T2 after all? I google "torx screw on psp" (dunno why I had not thought of doing that)...

when I type in "screwdriver torx" on DX.com I get 103 results so its a matter of choosing which one. I guess I should pick a set with multiple sizes to reduce the chances of having it finally arrive only for it to be the wrong size. But I want to be absolutely sure it will include the size I need.

I just started taking apart my PSP but found some strange screws I have no way of removing. The drive slot is not philips, but rather a 6 pointed star, and they are really, really small! I think they may be Torx, but I need to figure out what size they are. I am guessing they are T1 (the...

The system is not broken. I believe I can restore the system to its original state if I wanted to although I have no intention of doing this in the foreseeable future. I cut the speaker ribbon cable down to size but this is part is inexpensive to replace. The mod doesn't require busting the...

Just a little update. I opened up the system again today, which I felt was very risky, but I wanted to see if I can reduce the rattling noises that occur when shaking the system. I think I managed to reduce the rattling.. only slightly... turns out some if not all of the rattling is not related...

good thing you told me then! do I need primer? but it looks like I'm paying close to 20 dollars already on paint and clear coat. I might put this off for a while..

primer, paint, clean finish dunno what that means but I might go with what that one user says to do: Montana Gold, spray light coats 10 minutes apart. Done. wondering what color to use.. Looks like I HAVE to go with black, because the SD card slot is blue so there are already 2 colors in...

I am strongly considering painting my blue 3DS XL a different color. I'd repaint only the blue parts, and after removing it from the rest of the system. I'd probably paint it black so the system can be one solid color. (minus SD card slot... dun dun dunn) I used Testors paint on models when I...

The battery on this system runs out very quickly... Less than 2 hours. (I will time it when I get a chance) I thought the mod was somehow causing it but then I'm like, wait, maybe it's just the battery. How much is a fresh battery? I could always decide to get one. Is it really possible that...

by the way, isn't the shutdown screen supposed to say something about spotpass? Well this is what mine says.. Nothing! (Although it says "software closed" if a game was running.) How peculiar.. edit: Though maybe a firmware update caused this and it has nothing to do with the top screen being...

Why not just make the entire thing black. In any case it I am guessing it is better not to recolor the sticks/dpad/buttons if it isn't necessary. In which case the 2nd design is better. What you could also do is make the entire casing blue, but make the grips black. (in effect the grips would...
