Hy guys. A couple of days ago I was able to snag an old boxed 3ds + skylanders in box for 30 buks. The system is a bit worn and it shows it was owned by a kid, especially because there's something stuck in the headphone socket and I am not able to remove it. So I said screw this, I'm just gonna replace it. BUT, I have no clue where to get the correct socket. The ones used on the AIO boards are different (I have a pack of those).

Does anyone know if the 3ds and 3ds XL use the same socket? Because I can find tons of those on ebay but none for the original 3ds.

A mod should replace this post into other projects / general project chat

Winnetouch, why did you post this to a lounge topic

Because it's not a project. I'm not planning on modding it. I was just after some info on parts. Isn't that what the lounge is for? Stuff that doesn't belong anywhere else?

maybe you are right then, really uncommon request lol

i hope someone will be able to help you

If you open the shell, you might be able to use a straight pin through the back to push the blockage out.

I found those links too but the shipping is ridiculous for a simple audio socket. I did open it up but the back of the socket is closed of at the back.

I wonder if you could drill a hole in the middle of that copper plate on the back, so you can poke a pin in there.

Alternatively, now that you know what the socket looks like, you can trawl through Aliexpress or eBay for something similar.

Nevermind .

After an hour of scraping I managed to get the dang thing unstuck. This little sucker was the culprit. A small magnetic ball barring. Excuse my ugly ass fingers .
