My 3DS xl’s SD card reader has been broken for 2 years now. I’m buying the part, any tutorials on how to take the broken reader out? Answers appreciated as soon as possible.
MayorAura, Depending on which exact 3DS XL you have, it appears on older model 3DS XL the SD reader looks like it will have to be de-soldered from board and then new reader resoldered to board, this would be best done by some one with micro-soldering skills to prevent further damage to the board and components. I posted disassembly guides for the newer and older model below which may help. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
