3DSXL hinge broke

Even if it is in warranty, they may deem the break to be the result of missuse. They will still offer to repair, but at a cost. Be prepared to argue if they balk.

That being said Nintendo is normally pretty good at dealing with warranty issues, they just get weird about hinge issues.

yea that is true. I had one break on a DSI XL within 6 months and had to fight them to get it fixed. BUT when i had a power issue on a used one where the Number was removed they had no problems with fixing it for free LOL

 
Good news, they have a new console for people that break hinges.

My 3DS XL recently broke off one of the hinges and the top screen slides/comes out of the left hinge which of broken off :( If I remember, it would be about $125 to get that repair but I don't remember. That's almost like buying a new 3DS XL. Anybody knows what they charge now days to repair it? I have never had one damaged or broken off since my original red Mario Kart DS bundle pack I got back in 2005. Even my Gold Zelda DSL is still working marvelously. Any suggestions what to do? I was thinking about just waiting for holiday deals and buying a new one.

Submit it for warranty repair, they will call and quote $125, balk and they will offer $100, balk and ask for the unit back and they will be prepared to negotiate lower.

 
My Ds lite hinge broke but it's still in great shape. Nintendo would charge me $60+ to fix it when I could buy a replacement shell and do it myself for ~$10.
