International Shipping and 3ds Battery Questions

[Minimit]

If loopy does not see a battery I am sure he will just to the partial install, it would not hurt to leave a note just to reminder loopy when he receives it. Also the screwdriver is just a small jewelers phillips head screwdriver.

Should I leave a note with the unit asking for the partial installation or is sending the partially installed unit the default when there's no battery?

The default is to send it partially installed if there's no battery. Leave a note if you like.

I think it's a non-issue, I've received dozens of consoles from Canada and the battery's never been a problem before. Just send the battery

I'd rather not push my luck, which apparently isn't great to begin with. When I tried to remove the back cover, two of the screws became stripped. Either through poor head choice or poor technique, two of the screws on the back cover are stripped. Thankfully I was able to pop the battery out, but as for the battery cover, I can't get it completely off.

Loopy, would you be able to get the cover off? Since the cover is being replaced anyways, you would have my permission to break the original battery cover.

[loopy]

Yes, I can get it off.

[KeiruKeiru]

Yes, I can get it off.

Thanks loopy. I'll leave a note on the Paypal receipt for that as well.

Just sent the 3ds. Should be there on Friday.

Thanks for answering all of my questions. I appreciate it .

Received the capture card in the mail earlier this week and it works great. I was really impressed at how professionally everything was packaged. For some reason, there was also a battery inside the unit that didn't belong to me since I removed my battery when I originally shipped it.

I have to admit that lining up the capture board with the walls of the case took more a few tries.

[loopy]

Yeah, my mistake. I put another battery in to test the board and forgot to take it out. Oops.

Well, yes! The batteries leak and so are advised to keep it separately when transferring it. I prefer ordering such items with the help of same day delivery Dallas, so that there is no leakage or damage. Even they keep it separately. There must be another way also.
