New Nintendo 3DS screwdriver (help!) - Nintendo 3DS Forum - Page 3

I have read that the screws on 3DS XL and New 3DS (XL) are the same. Any of my father's screwdrivers work on the 3DSXL. I bought a Phillips 0 screwdriver just a while ago and, shockingly, it doesn't work either. The screws are alright because I never tried to unscrew the screws before. What ******* kind of screwdriver do I need for the New 3DS? I need to open the new console tomorrow.

I did some tinkering and came to the solution that new xl and normal xl models use different screwdrivers!
So ph o screwdriver is enough for the new model you just have to keep in mind that the screws are very short!
So you only need to screw little and then need to softly wiggle at the backpanel.
Don't use normal xl model as test since it needs other Phillips 00 screwdriver!
Hope I could help 😊

For anybody struggling to find a screwdriver for the New 3DS XL this is the type you need:-

It is the same type of screwdriver that is included with the Wii U High capacity battery pack.

Simple use a glasses screwdriver or go to a watch repair store to have the exact screwdriver for you. It worked for my XL not the new one though cause I've yet to get it.

After so long...I'm back. Don't ask why
