Hi all,

I've recently gotten 2 units of new 3DS XL (Black & Red).

The issues I'm having right now is exactly like the video, I understand this is a known issue for a lot of Black new 3DS XL owners. Has anyone actually went to fix it?

Mod Edit: Fixed YT link

cant watch the video. but is it your screen wobble? that is normal, if the screen is too tight, confirm hinge will crack when you drop it. abit wobble absorb the impact.

ok just watched the video. the wobble wont affect anything. my ds lite wobbles too, but the hingle still stay strong (its been many years), my 3ds xl (i think at least 3-4 years wobbles too, still working strong)

Yes it's a known issue. And xtreme is right, to avoid hinge cracking which will definitely happen if the hinge is too tight.
It's not a problem, my new 3ds XL is working fine.

Just that it sometimes annoy me cause when I move, I can feel the movement also haha (i have a bit of an OCD-type behaviour where everything needs to be nice nice) tongue.gif , so just trying to see if there are ways to fix it.
