Circle pad/R button

[Ryan_000]

Hi, I purchased a capture card about 2 and a half years ago and it has worked perfectly ever since.

However, my 3DS is quite old by now (from 2011) and the circle pad/R button/battery could all use replacements. Is it possible for me to send my 3DS back and I can pay some appropriate amount for those things to be replaced?

If the battery or R button for some reason can't be done, just the circle pad being replaced would really help me because I want to be able to keep using my 3DS with the capture card rather than switching to NTR/wireless capture as an alternative.

Thanks!

I can take care of it. Is the circle pad not working or is it just the rubber pad that's worn off?

The circle pad is still on and it works alright sometimes, but a lot of the time it just feels stiff and doesn't want to move like it used to. I wouldn't be surprised if it fell off at any moment though.

It's a problem for me due to the games I play being historically rough on the circle pad (Smash, Mario Kart 7, etc.). Many people I know have encountered problems with the circle pad specifically from playing these games too

My 3DS is from 2011 so I'm not really surprised that it's worn out. (I've never replaced any parts on it)

I can attest that Loopy can fix the circle pad! My capture 3DS is the Zelda edition from 2011, modded in 2012, and I recently sent in for a repair on the USB module. All for no charge (aside from shipping it out), Loopy fixed the USB connection, and put on a circle pad that is more suitable than one worn down by Smash and other games! I can't quite speak, however, for the shoulder buttons, as mine seem to have gone in and out over time, but a can of compressed air can do the trick for such an issue.
