Topic: Hi! 3DS Circle Pad Repair Costs AUS?

Hi! Im Formula, new to the boards. First post, great to meet you!

Recently my 3DS Circle Pad has been playing up, my up and down movements are now always very delayed, say 3-4 seconds afterwards my character finally moves, got a faulty circle pad. Kind of like:

• Press up on Circle Pad.
• Character moves 3-4 seconds after. not fun XD
  It works just fine for left and right, but not up or down (mostly up) the delay is there.

Im very curious to find out the repair cost for something like this, or could i somehow fix it?
I live in Australia and i would be very honoured if someone could give me the info i need. I've looked around for a topic like this, but I'm not very confident in there posts and sought answers of my own.
I found 70-80$ repair+shipping but is that in AUS? or US?
If you could share the cost of your 3DS Repair/or better estimate the cost of my repair, again i would very much appreciate it
-Can't ring nintendo right now, my own reasons...
Thank you to all who took the time for me! See you soon,

$100 USD including shipping to fix Circle Pad.

100$USD?
Astonishing... Are you certain of that, sorry if im being picky.
But it would really cost that much for such a small little repair in my eyes?

• Might as well get a new 3DS if its that much. In Australia thats probably 130$

Yes, the standard repairs costs are $90 regardless of what the damage is usually, if its major repairs it may cost more, but you wouldn't be looking at anything cheaper than $100 with postage.

Ok, thank you then, really appreciate it im going to buy brand new 3DS tomorrow now, not worth it at all. Thank you so much

If I was in that situation I would go to a really good phone repair shop. With a brand new circle pad pro and see what they could do.

My city has literally two that have any real skill. (The rest can only do stuff that is easy enough for me to do myself.)
