Finally. When I sent my Wii off to be repaired, took a while to find the details on their original site.
Surprised the DS lite in that picture turns on at all >.>
My screen on my 3DS is scratched in 4 places.
x2 scratches are from the generic screen scratch problem caused by closing the 3DS and putting it in your pocket for a walk.
the other 2 scratches are my fault and happened when cleaning my 3D screen and a tiny bit if grit made its way into my cleaning cloth ;-{
Do you think they would replace the plastic screen cover with the scratches on as I know the LCD underneath is perfect?
"generic screen scratches" are a myth. You occasionally get waxy lines but it will not scratch the top screen.
Fabulous! Thank you Nintendo! Excellent Customer Service! I love it!
@Jamix012: no, they're not. They are really there and I can see them very well when holding my 3DS in a specific angle. Luckily you don't see them when looking straight at the screen.
Did that DS Lite get mauled by a dog or something? It looks like it got chewed like a toy...
Doesn't matter where you go, you always get one of these people who think they know it all and just because their 3DS doesn't have a specific issue, it means everyone else who does is either crazy or lying.
Screen scratching happens, from no fault of the user. Deal with it.
Nintendo of Europe seems to be better than Nintendo of America.
Next gen I'm moving to Europe :l
I'm tempted to keep sending my 3DS system in for the free evaluation. They'll send it back with a report that nothing is wrong and hopefully a ton of StreetPass hits from all the Nintendo staff....

The scratches are very real. This is my second 3DS and it is happening to this now too. Don't act like an idiot. I love my 3DS and just want a new screen cover.
My question was "Do you think they will repair it?" and will it be free?
or cost something? and how much?
@Gavin_Rozee
I meant to say, "Thank you"
@3d brains
I have the screen scratching issue too. Those rubber
feet on the top screen just didn't stick out enough
to prevent the ridge out the bottom screen scratching
the top screen.
Due this I called Nintendo on the above no. and they
said they were aware of this issue and to send my 3DS
back so they could look at it.
Nintendo kept me up to date with regular emails and
now I repaired 3DS is on its way back to me, hopefully
with larger rubber feet on the top screen.
It annoys me when people say this issue it a myth
because it definately is not. I've looked at many
pre owned 3DS consoles and some of them had
2 parallel lined scratches on the top screen whilst
some other 3DS consoles had bigger/taller rubber
feet on the top screen with prevents this issue.
It's obviously a manufacting issue with the 3DS and
not myth. People without this problem just struck lucky.
Regarding my repair: it was free since I'm within my
one year warranty. Nintendo even sent out a shipping
label so I didn't have to pay postage
So far I only have the waxy lines appearing on my top screen, most likely because I bought screen protectors to prevent the top screen from ever getting scratches. I've this Zelda 3DS for a good 5-6 months now!
That DS Lite o_e
They've had that site for a while, why are Nintendo saying it's new?
Probably to make customers aware that it exists.
One of our DS lites is holding the two screens together with only the wiring It works fine, it's just a bit dodgy
Woah man, what happened to that DS? Looks like it got boiled or something. Does that belong a NL staff member?
Is there a site like this for the US? My circle pad broke after several extended marathons of Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Looks like someone raged at Mario kart DS and decided to chew the side of the DS lite.
@Nano: I bet that's it! XD
Anyways, I do not have the scratches, but I do have the waxy lines occasionally, but I have been extra cautious with it to avoid the problem. Might have to give in and get screen protectors, though.
