    • Use a Phillips PH00 screwdriver to loosen the four screws along the top of the back cover.

    • All screws in this device are JIS screws. Official iFixit PH000-PH1 Phillips screwdrivers are designed to be compatible with JIS screws, so they are safe to use. Using a screwdriver other than an official iFixit screwdriver or a JIS screwdriver may result in stripped screws.

    • The screws are held in place by locking washers, and will not come out of the back cover.

Anybody know where to buy replacement back covers for this original 3DS model? I’m finding that a lot of used 3DS’s from this era have 3rd party battery packs and the original cover is lost.
