[QUOTE="Peanut_BR, post: 8065124, member: 449316"] Laku Noć guys! Since I got my 3DS XL this loose power connector has been annoying me af. I tried to google about it and there are a lot of people with the same problem, but I didn't find any help. Most of the tutorials will be only to change the connector. SO I opened my console to check how it is inside cuz I am really nosey...the thing is I managed to solve it in a really simple way! I googled the connectors and if you have a loose power connector in other DS variants it will work for you as well! [SPOILER="Fixing it"] [B][COLOR=#ff0000]You will only need a screw phillips driver. [/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#bfbfbf]1 - First of all be sure that your device is turned off and that you removed the game cartridge and sdcard. 2 - Remove the first back cover by removing the TWO screws. 3 - Remove the second back cover by removing the SIX screws, note that two of them are behind the little rubbers(ignore my game there). [ATTACH=full]132130[/ATTACH][/COLOR] [COLOR=#bfbfbf]4 - Now nicely disassemble the cover and TAKE CARE with the ribbon cables for the L and R buttons, you don't have to disconnect them just hold or lay the cover next to your DS. [ATTACH=full]132131[/ATTACH] 5 - Now take a look at the power connector and check that there is a kind of pin that matches with the connector of the cable. [ATTACH=full]132132[/ATTACH] 6 - With the same screw driver just push this pin in, it will give more pressure so it will hold the connector better.[/COLOR] [ATTACH=full]132133[/ATTACH] 7 - You can make some tests before assembling it all back, but that's pretty much it. Just screw it all up and it's fixed. [/SPOILER] [COLOR=#bfbfbf] [SPOILER="Notes"] [COLOR=#bfbfbf]* I am sorry for any english mistake, or if I was not clear. You can ask me ANYTHING here! * I am not responsible for any damage in your 3DS. So follow the steps carefully and ask me if you have any doubt! * I think GBA Temp has some instability so I will check if it uploaded all pics. [/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(191, 191, 191)]Thank you for your attention and please give me any advice of editing or anything else if you have one![/COLOR][/SPOILER][/COLOR][SPOILER="Notes"] [/SPOILER] [COLOR=#bfbfbf]Peanut_BR[/COLOR] [COLOR=#00b300]BR[/COLOR][COLOR=#ffff00]AS[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000b3]IL HE[/COLOR][COLOR=#ffff00]XA[/COLOR][COLOR=#00b300]AA![/COLOR] [COLOR=#bfbfbf] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
