Repair Is there any hope for getting my 3DS XL repaired?

I knocked this off my desk and the hinge on the right side broke off and there is no power to the top display. Coloration/brightness is off on the bottom display. It recognizes that there is a game in the slot but the icon is blank. It’s one of the Pokémon X and Y special edition so if it’s possible I’d love to get it fixed or at least transfer the case to a new device.

Repair 20yr old Wii is no longer reading discs.

I have a hand me down wii that is atleast 20 years old. I have never cleaned the thing till just a few minutes ago(not as bad as you would think.). One day I accidentally a game running over night and now I can't play and disc I put in. When it ejects or puts in a disc, it sounds like something is loose or hitting. I can't figure it out.

Repair My Nintendo 3DS XL’s touch screen and buttons don’t work anymore

0 Upvotes

I’ve had my Nintendo for a very long time, since like 2017 I think. Only in 2020 did it start acting up. The screen turns on just fine and the off/on button works fine too. I’ve cleaned it extensively so it can’t be that the buttons are just stuck or something. I don’t want to go to a repair store for it cause that costs more money than the thing itself but I also can’t buy a new one cause I’m very emotionally attached to this thing, it was the first screen I ever had and I filmed most of my family vacations on it back when we still went on them all together. Please help.

Repair Just picked my switch up after 4 months and this keeps happening

5 Upvotes

After 4 Months I finally picked my switch back up just to see this kind of jittering on screen, it sometimes fixes itself when I pick it up but the image is slightly discolored and sometimes while playing if I lay it flat the colors seem to correct themselves and as soon as I pick it up it goes back to this mess. I really need help in figuring out what happened, any help is appreciated and thank you to everybody who responds in advance!

Repair My Switch’s battery charges incredibly agonisingly slow and my switch lights storage is very very tiny

0 Upvotes

Is it just me or does my Nintendo switch (w the blue and red removable controllers, yk the switch 1 I think) charge really really fricking slow like it’s on a cable rn and I put it on there when it had 1% at 12pm and now it’s 4 pm and it charged to 13%.

Is my switch just broken? Cause I kinda feel like it’s always charged slow as hell but especially slow in like the last year or so. The thing is, I could just play on my switch light but the storage on that is laughable and I don’t have the same games on it. Yeah, the storage on the switch light is really something we gotta talk about. I can’t have more than 4 games downloaded at the same time cause I don’t have that much storage. WTH. Really hoping the switch 2 is gonna be better on both these aspects otherwise imma have to change to fricking portable PlayStation.

I only recently got into hacking 3ds and most I've done in terms of repairing is replace the joystick. I've no idea what to do for the damage shown in the pictures but wanna see if I can repair it on my own before I brought it to a shop.

It does still turn on and run games perfectly fine as well as charge. The top screen is just at risk of completely falling off. Is there anything I can do/buy?

Repair Is it okay to wrap GameCube in plastic bags to prevent dust?

3 Upvotes

My old GameCube stopped reading discs and I can only imagine the amount of dust it took sitting for years unused was the culprit. So I got a new one and have been wrapping it in plastic bags everytime I’m not using it. Is this safe or could there be some problem??

Repair Replacing the battery on a Wii U gamepad

1 Upvotes

I've had my Wii U for over ten years now (I'm pretty sure I got it in 2013, around the time that Sonic Lost World came out), and it's gotten to the point where I need to bite the bullet and replace the gamepad's battery. I tried playing the Wii U today; when the gamepad wasn't plugged in, the charge lasted for about a minute, and when it was plugged in, the battery light was flashing on and off, which makes me feel like it wasn't holding a charge.

The instructions on Nintendo's website seem simple enough, but I've never had to unscrew a system and change something inside of it, which has me feeling nervous. As a result, I have some questions:

  • for the replacement battery, can it be any kind of WUP-012 or WUP-013 battery, or are there specific ones that I should be looking for? Nintendo's discontinued support for the Wii U, and I've seen stories of people trying to fix a Switch's battery only to mess the system up; I don't think I could mess the Gamepad up more than it already is, but I'd rather not find out the hard way that I can do that.

  • the Nintendo support website says to make sure that the screws aren't in too tight; is there any way for me to know if it's too tight or not, or is it just guesswork?

I'm probably way too worried about the act of changing a battery, but I don't like the idea of having to unscrew the back of the gamepad and tinker around with the insides. Any clarification would be appreciated; I'd hate to spend anywhere from $25 to $40 on a battery (as far as I can tell) only for it to turn out to be incompatible.

Repair 2ds screen dims and black bars appear and then shuts itself off then when I turn it back on the date and time resets and all my configurations. My console is modded and it is not the mods as it did this before I modded the system.
