    hello, recently my original 3ds shoulder buttons gave out. so i went and replaced them. but when i was doing it, i removed the very itty bitty grey clamps that hold down one of the touch screen cables and the power cable. does any one know how to fix it? or how to but the clamps back in?

    magnifying glass, sharp tweezers, patients and good luck!

    Soon as you bend one of those gold pins its a socket replacement. Which means see above!

    Yep see my above post. Good luck!

    it only goes back on one way. For orientation check one of the other connections.

    These are a real pain to put back on. Hopefully you haven't damaged the price of plastic. Also don't be fooled if it goes in test it a few times first. I was putting one back together and it fell back out as it didn't sit in place correctly.

    You broke a fpc door.there are a hundred ways to break cell phone one laptops. Tablets. You have to order a new one. And solder a new one back on. Take it to a shop. Probably 10-20 bucks tops to fix.

    I know this isn't the thread for this message. but I'll trade/pay for someone to reassemble my 3ds. I'm waiting a new top lcd screen cause mine tore and I'm not really that good at reassembling such small devices.

    Make a WTB thread for the service. Don't post here.
