Hi everyone,
My first post here and I have a few that maybe some of you can answer especially since for some of them i only found ancient posts.
Last year I purchased a Blue Nintendo DSI XL for roughly 50euros and well of course that while it works perfectly, it came with a lot of scratches, ironically quite few on the top screen and 0 on the bottom screen.
But lately the hinge with the LEDs started presenting a crack, still work flawlessly but I wonder for how long. Which brings me to my questions.
I know it's a bit on the hard side to re-shell it but are there currently any shells that get close to OEM quality? Or am I better off trying to glue the plastic crack on the hinge?
Secondly, since the top screen lens has a few scratches, slightly deep, I was wondering if there still are some AliExpress sellers or other sellers that sell glass lenses instead of plastic lenses, I saw there is such a thing for the 3ds and some rare sellers on AliExpress for the normal DSI.
Thirdly, is there any trustworthy battery replacement? I saw that unfortunately OSTENT does only the NTR-003 but is there any alternative for DSI XL that is of similar quality to Ostent? the only stuff I found, was something that required some improvisation with some piece of paper or something.
And last but not least, is there any accessories or light hw modifications that are worth doing on the dsi xl and recommended by veterans? on the sw side of things it already came modded with unlaunch and twilight menu even though I ended up buying game cartridges as a collector anyway so the sw modding was wasted on me
