This guide outlines the procedure for accessing the device circle pad. To access the circle pad, the entire device must be opened. This might be intimidating at first, but as long as the guide directions are followed, no damage to the device is expected. For more information, refer to our troubleshooting page.

Before starting the disassembly, remove
-
The stylus
-
Any game cartridge
-
The SD card

Unscrew the four 6mm tri-point screws located at the four corners of the bottom panel.
The Y0 was too big; I ended up using a Y00 and that worked fine
Would not recommend using a Y000 like I tried to do
gotta use Japanese Industry Standard YOO (blunt end)- I did not, and accidentally stripped two of the screws… still trying to figure out how to remove them -_-;
Yeah I can confirm, the y0 does not work.
I'm using the Y-0.6 and seems to only unscrew 2 of the screws on the right side of the handheld, the other 2 aren't moving
screws are too tight

Using a spudger, separate the back panel from the front casing by gently prying around the panel.
-
There are many clips along the hinge of the case, so it is recommended to work your way along one short side and the two long sides before finishing the last short side.
You need to be super careful separating the top from the bottom at the rear end. I got stuck there, applied a lil more force and ripped the right shoulder button straight off the pcb!

Using tweezers, disconnect the two cables that connect the rear buttons on either side to the motherboard by gently pulling them upwards.
I unfortunately took off the base of one when trying to pull apart. Is there a fix or will it not be broken?
Did you manage to fix this at all?
When you are putting these cables back, make sure to check the orientation of the cable. You have to match the cable head to the entry point, so you may have to turn the cable around. I spent a bit too much time trying to connect the cables just because I didn't realize that I had to turn the cable around.
Aren't these the speaker cables? I haven't taken any 2DS's apart in a while, but I'm pretty sure these cables connect to the speakers

Using a spudger, lift out the battery.
-
Be aware that there is a sticky pad holding the battery into its tray. It may be necessary to use multiple tools to gently pry the battery away from the tray and motherboard.
Some might see this as an optional step. But you probably do NOT want to skip this. I did, and now I have malfunctions on the Nintendo (touch screen functionality not working, possibly as a result of shorts from skipping this step.)
Personally, I skipped this step and everything still works fine. I wasn't able to take the battery out because the adhesive was too strong.
Small square of adhesive. Pull up slowly and it’ll release after 10-20 seconds
Any advise for dealing with CTR-003 spicy pillow? So far in this transplant operation, both my devices batteries are okay... but... I dunno, if I were to run into a spicy pillow in the future, what would be the least awful way to pull it out?
Not sorry, when I see these repair jobs that involve the company gluing the battery into the device (or even soddering in that soon to be spicy pillow) this is just something I'm wondering about
I haven't taken my 2ds apart yet, depending on how devices are built it might work to slide a solid thread (eg fishing rope, or floss but that might rip) under it, and do a sewing motion.

To more easily access this ribbon cable, flip the device so the back casing faces upwards. Gently slide the back casing forward, revealing the ribbon cable connecting to the motherboard.
-
Using a spudger, pry up the ZIF connector holding the ribbon cable.
-
Pull the ribbon towards the bottom casing and out of the connector.
-
-
-
Remove the two 7.5mm phillips screws using a PH000 screwdriver.
-
Gently flip over the circle pad. Be aware that the pad is pressed into the back of the circle pad on the front of the case. Gentle prying will be necessary to pry if from the back of the circle pad.
-
Be aware that there is a black plastic disc that sits between the circle pad module and the circle pad stick. During reassembly, stand the unit on end and hang the plastic disc on the circle pad module and hold the stick from the front to press them back together.
-
-
-
Using a spudger, lift up the ZIF connector (the hinge is located on the side closest to where the cable connects).
-
Remove the circle pad by pulling it away from the connector.
You'll need to push the circle pad through groove out the front face plate.
Hello I have followed the steps to this tutorial but is there another where it shows you how to put it back in it original state? Like showing us how to put it back to normal.

I can’t seem to find a New 2ds XL circle pad replacement online, does anyone know if a regular 2ds circle pad works? (Or perhaps a 3ds one?)
Future Myself, the 3ds circle pad kinda works. The major change here is the screw holes, they were moved in on the 2ds xl, so if you do some sanding and finagling it will work, but it’s not elegant at all.
Dvdcd -
Excellent guide, although I believe the 2ds XL requires a Y00 and not a Y0
This is a great repair instructional, but I would advise also looking at the below video link. (I used both.) Sometimes watching 2 repair guides can help when you think you think you’re stuck. For example, I had a really hard time getting the hinge off!

(HINT: Works best if you rotate it 180 degrees, so that you are repairing it from the same perspective as the technician)
