    Love seeing stuff being given some TLC
  • @Mrshoujo
    Mad skills transferring that power button. Don't worry about presenting a partial fix. The main thing is you know the problem and can do something about it. 👍
  • @ALESSIOSAVARESE
    The two consoles are mine, he did a great job on them <3 Thank you again!
  • @JomasterTheSecond
    It's always impressive seeing a 3DS getting worked on - those things are so bloody complex it's insane seeing someone solder on it and get it working! Or well, slightly working since you didn't have the parts. :P
  • @aquaraxkaiju
    Quei cazz di connettori del 3ds base si rompono SEMPRE, comunque bel lavoro
