I’m trying to buy a used Japanese New 3DS LL (I hate how Nintendo named that thing) with an IPS top screen, and there’s one listing where the price is what I’m willing to pay, the screens are pristine with no yellowing and I’m fine with the condition of the back plates, but there’s a small crack in the console just below the upper screen. I do not have the experience to replace the whole shell, is this something I could use a bit of glue or epoxy and be fine or would this become a huge problem?
You need to either replace the broken shell or use epoxy/glue and expect it to break somewhere else.
Is that worth the cost of just passing this one and looking at a different one? That’s up to you.
