Topic: Part of 3DS touchscreen border is lowered?

Posts 1 to 7 of 7

I have had my 3DS for two days, and I have noticed that it looks like the bottom right corner of the border around the touch screen is lower than the left corner. I have been very careful with my 3DS, and haven't been pressing on that section at all. I've attached some photographs but I don't know if they show the problem very well. The lowered part is not much lower but it still annoys me. Is this something with all 3DSes? Is it worth trying to return the device? Thanks to anyone that can help.

that totally looks odd, especially those pics with the streaks through the screen — what are you doing to it to get that effect? i'd send it off to Nintendo for sure.

I don't have the same issue with mine - also Aqua Blue - so it's possibly just a manufacturing issue (and possibly just related to a particular batch). I don't think it's worth having the system sent in for repair unless it actually affects gameplay in any way, though you could always contact Nintendo if it really bothers you.

@theblackdragon I think that's just a reflection, it's visible on the top of the system as well.

@Cipher: no offense, but it's the weirdest reflection I've ever seen, considering (if you look at the last pic) they're sitting below the dust and bits that are stuck to the screen protector.

either way, there's something weird about that panel, and i'd have it fixed or replaced before it gets any worse if i were the OP :3

Thank you very much for your help. I've sent an email to the Nintendo Service Centre with the photos as attachments. I would have used the fast track, but it does not support the 3DS.
FYI, the streaks on the screen are beams in the ceiling. They aren't in the first photos because I took them in a different room.
