You cant expect a 15 year old handheld to not require maintenance
>>719962175A SCREENSHOT OF A TIKTOK OF A REDDIT POST
It never ceases to amaze me that so many people don't know how to store electronics. Case in point, exploding PSPs.
>>719962175Was it exposed to long durations of heat?
>>719962352now someone just needs to post it on xitter and then make a thread for it on 4chan
>>719962352that's youtube shorts.
>>719962294>maintenanceRecommend a good anti-plastic-rubber-dissolving agent.
>>719962294this is true, but joycons are shit tho
>>719962175The Nintendium mines ran out somewhere around the release of the GBA SP unfortunately.From the Wii/DS onward they use pretty flimsy plastic
>>719962352Worse, it's a screenshot of a youtube short with minecraft parkour while some fag reads a reddit post
>>719962394How do you?
>>719962394they're lithium batteries. It's not about storing, you fucking retard. They are prone to bloating from lack of use and letting the battery drain. The quality control on the PSP battery especially just has poor quality control, which is why you hear about it so much, while you rarely hear about it for DS line and such
>>719962394I just shove that shit down a drawer and try to find it ten years later.All my weak ass game boi games have battery issues and I'm not going to try and fix them.
>>719962175>I stored my 3ds in my carReddit is full of shit like this. They regularly post images of their old pets that get mummified because they let them fall behind furniture. They regularly post shit they've refused to repair that now has a dent in it from being walked on. They'll post plenty of lost objects that have fused with something or been warped. They then will consider it "mildly infuriating" like it was something out of their control. They are like bad children.
>>719962175loveheart tier analogue stick.
>>719962175>NintendiumNintendo run out of stock in the era
>>719962175What the fuck kind of conditions was this stored in?
>>719962294
>>719962175mine did the same thing
>>719962294Yes you can. Most of them don't, actually.
>>719962294Sure you can. If you keep electronics dry and away from dust they can last a stupidly long time. My original xbox and controllers still work fine. 23+ years later
>>719962175The DS Phat was the last console made with Nintendium
>>719962537I disagree. The gamecube's disc drive had a high failure rate. t. Gamecube owner from that era.
>>719963995I went through 2 xbox drives and a ps2 drive before my GC drive started showing any issues. Just cause it had a handle doesn't mean you should throw it. My first Wii still works btw.
>>719963696i hate this fucking thing so much because the screen originally didn't work so they replaced it and "wow after that it still works"
>>719963995I've got two gamecubes and both of the drives still work. Skill issue.
>>719962352This board hasn't had the illusion of standards since 2014
>>719962442I'm sure dalit_nation is already on it.
>>719962429probably vapeoils breakdown rubberseveral years of aggressive propelyn glycol exposure and its not too far from plausible
>>719962175The world’s supply of Nintendium was all completely depleted by the year 2000
>>719962175This actually happened to me 2 weeks ago. I grabbed my OoT limited edition 3DS and opened it to find out the enamel on the buttons had cracked and started chipping, got really dejected. Then saw the analog stick had some shiny residue like how ps2 controllers sometimes have when you haven't used em in a while, and I tried to rub it off, and with the slightest touch, the analog nub just fucking disintegrated.Really sad...Thankfully both the enamel buttons and the analog nub are easily replaceable, so I was able to fix it, but man does it hurt to see that.
>>719963696Cosmetic skins before digital.
What the fuck? Mine is still fine and I just left it closed up in some drawer. Did he store it in acetone?
I have a New 3DS XL that is in pretty good condition, only thing that kind of annoys me is that the stylus slides out of the stylus hole
>>719962452You can just replace the top
>>719962447Most YT shorts are rips from TikTok. So it could very well be a screen shot of a short that is a rip of a TikTok of a Reddit post.
>>719962352>tranime reaction imageAnd you just completed the holy trinity of faggotry
>>719962863>They are prone to bloating from lack of use and letting the battery drainImagine not charging and running your handhelds a bit all the timeCouldnt be me
>>719962175This actually happened to mine too while I was playing theatrhythm, still did a perfect clear though.
>>719969419>>719970201I'm this guy, and my other 7 3dses are fine, it's the luck of the draw, the only other 3dses i had to replace the analog nubs on were my kiosk consoles
>>719962175When the Switch was announced, both of my 3DS' circle pad rubbers had already fallen apart
>>719962352still better than posting a tranime reaction image
They ran out of nintendium during the DS Lite's production run, this is a well documented fact.
>>719963696>>719969719Makes me wonder why no one tried a "battle damaged" shell for a handheld before. Would have been pretty cool.
>>719971459no it was after the gb micro, they saved the nintendium they didn't use on the DS' hinges to make those.
>>719963908I hope you replaced or removed your clock cap anon because soon you might eat those words.
>>719962352spbp
>>719962175the original 3DS was the last nintendium-made productnu-3ds was a lot less tough
>>719962629Goddammit youre right
>>719962452I coated my N3DS XL in semen to prevent it from decaying.
>>719970674For me it was mutant mudds super challenge and the stick just fucking snapped off. I had the rare pikachu edition too.
>store electronics in 40C>it melts
>>719970341Damn, that big gaping stylus hole makes your 3ds sound like a real slut. Guess you used it a lot.
>>719970476>Most YT shorts are rips from TikTokThat explains the "which can cause d__th" zoomer shit
>>719972385Haha yeah I sure did...
>>719972372>store electronics in 37C>i melt
>>719962175>turd world materials Based Scamtendo!
>>719963920yeah the console which breaks from the screen with a little fall, all the nintendium broseph
>>719962175No stick drift?
>>719965017autism
>>719962175They stopped using that long ago, when consoles stopped being made in Germany to become made in China.Nintendo quality lowered a lot that year, and now is worse.
>>719962175I had the same thing happen to my launch 3ds and small N3DS. I ended up having to scour Aliexpress for replacements and eventually found some that glide smoothly and feel OEM. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803396902772.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.279.2d671802iRRtKT&gatewayAdapt=glo2usaI also found some glass screen replacements for the top screen to get rid of some scratches that had accumulated. You just heat up the edges of the top screen with a hair dryer and yank out the plastic with a suction cup. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806415527851.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.264.2d671802iRRtKT&gatewayAdapt=glo2usaI'm really happy with the glass, it makes the colors look more saturated.
>>719963696Nintendo power confirmed it does not work.
>>719962175im him stroking your clit
>>719962294my fucking 3ds xl OG screens finally yellowed :(
>>719973360Oh yeah, there's also a popular mod that replaces the right nipple for for one from a thinkpad branded mouse. It increases the surface area and feels much better to use, I fully endorse it. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803117334623.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.294.2d671802iRRtKT&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
>>719972741if you have to repair part of it then it didn't "still work"
>>719962175mines been sitting in a cool room forever. I just went and moved the stick and the exact same thing happened. it was a zelda 3ds that sucks because I was wanting to sell it
>>719965017>they only had to replace the screenI don't know man that's still pretty fucking metal.
>be a greasy fat fuck>play the 3DS while eating Cheetos>wonder why the rubber parts fall apart
>>719962294Circle Pads are an easy part to replace too, even if you're not going to get a rubber capped pad again without cracking open either another 3DS or a Circle Pad Pro to harvest its pad
>>719962394for the vast majority of people they are still just disposable toys
>>719973736if that's all they had to replace, then that means it still worked. unless for whatever reason you think your computer stops working if you turn off the monitor. it was still capable of processing information, it just couldn't display it.
>>719962352You can add more layers.
>>719971631The fat DS hinges were fine, the lite hinges were where the problems started
>>719975176Now just post this to twitter and screenshot
>>719963696fun fact, this gameboy was owned by kanye west's cousin
>>719975176>>719962352From a few days ago; this will be /v/ by the end of the year.
>>719975509None of mine ever broke, but I've seen both DSphat and DSlites with broken hinges. I've repaired quite a few of them for friends and family
>>719962352YOU WILL THANK THE TRANNY JANNIES
My New 3DS stick randomly hat a crack down it one day so I just pulled the rubber off, just using the plastic seems to be fine
>>719962175The rubber on my circlepad broke apart into brittle pieces around 2017. But I do have another 3ds and that one hasn't broken yet but I don't use it as much.
>>719975176I'll save that picture and create another thread later with it. The circle must continue.
>>719979492I've made one with this >>719975681>>719979614
>>719979634Beautiful.
>>719962175There was something fucky going on with the rubber they used for controllers in the early 2010s. My 3DS's nub completely wore off, admittedly after hundreds of hours of use, and my launch PS4's dualshock flaked off completely within literal days of me getting it.
>>719979893My 3DS's circle pad is as good as new. However, the control stick on my gamecube controllers came off years ago. Now, to be fair, my DS is in a case in my closet, while my gamecube controllers were kept in the open, so maybe that's the difference.
>>719962175Pure Shitendium!
average greasy etrian fan
>>719962175if i played MH on a 3ds the nubs would always go to shit.What an awful handheld.
>>719962352
>>719962175Any plastic designed to be soft touch will start to break down when the humidity gets above 60%Reject soft touch plastic, period.
