Servicing older electronics like this is really fun for me and it helps me better understand the everyday gadgets that we take for granted every day. Sometimes I wish that I got the chance to do more of it, but with the way tech goes, companies want that to happen less and less, which is a shame.

This is my New 3DS XL. Love this thing. I replaced the Circle Pad on this bad boy too; however, in doing servicing, I noticed that the battery had started to swell in it! So, it's currently out with no battery.

Replacement battery incoming on Tuesday.
A New Nintendo 3DS XL sitting upside-down. The Circle Pad is extremely worn. The New Nintendo 3DS XL with the replaced Circle Pad. It works just fine! The insides of the New Nintendo 3DS XL. It definitely needed cleaning (which I did. Don't worry). It features the motherboard (and daughterboard), the game cart, the camera, the Circle Pad, and the processor. The ribbon cable for one set of the shoulder buttons is disconnected (I did reconnect them when putting them back together).

Friend gave me a 2DS after mine was stolen. Circle Pad has been trashed for a long time. I finally took it apart and replaced it myself yesterday! I feel so proud.

Replacement battery incoming on Tuesday.
An old and worn Circle Pad for the Nintendo 2DS. It's definitely seen better days. The insides of a 2DS, featuring the SD card reader, the game card reader, the circle pad base, and the volume rocker. Did you know that the battery of the 2DS and 3DS are being used in the Pro Controller of the Nintendo Switch? So, it should be easier to get replacement batteries for them, though you don't need to go this far deep to replace the battery. A 2DS after it has been lightly cleaned and the Circle Pad has been replaced. It's ready to play Pokémon Sun again!

I genuinely don't remember where I got this DS Lite but I've had it for a while. I replaced the battery on it because you never know what could happen (and I like DS and GBA games).

Please check on your Lithium-Ion Batteries and service/replace them if you can every few years!

Please replace your Lithium-Ion Batteries every once in a while for devices that you can replace to maintain safety and further longevity of your device.
