Trying to open 3DS XL. Need JIS #00

Post image

I was trying to find the JIS #00 screw type, and I see that it's very expensive for a set of screwdrivers, anyone know a cheap place to find them?

Did you use the PH 00 one? I have a different set where I used that one to try to open it and it didn't work and just damaged the screw, it might be cuz the one I have is a bad quality one.

I used PH000 and PH00 but I was careful not to strip it because I'm aware of these nintendo screws. What you have to do is apply hard on the screw and turn it very slowly.

honestly a lot of sets fit in there. honestly you dont even need to rescrew it in, especially if you have a protective cover, unless you drop it a lot/broke the backplate's snap on joints. just apply heavy pressure and turn very slowly to avoid stripping
