3DS Bottom LCD & Touch Screen

This tutorial will show you how to open the bottom half of your 3DS and replace the lcd screen or
touch panel. To get to the bottom screen you'll need to remove the motherboard, sd card reader,
analog stick, and other small parts.

This picture shows the parts of the bottom screen assembly. You'll
need something like a flat x-acto blade to separate the three parts
and replace whatever is broken.
1. This is the actual 3DS bottom LCD screen. If your new replacement
screen doesn't have insulation on the back, use some black electrical
tape. If it's allowed to touch the motherboard without insulation the
microfuses will blow and the 3DS will not turn on.
2. This is the touch panel / screen. It's attached to the LCD by a
thin adhesive strip. If you're replacing the touch panel you'll need
to reuse the adhesive strip.
3. This is a screen border that's glued to the touch screen. Can be
peeled off and reused on your new touch screen.
Reassembly is the reverse of removal.
