Hi, my 3ds charging port wobbles and the charger won’t stay in when I stick. The charging port needs to be replaced, but I can’t tell which charging port to trust for my 3ds XL.

Hi Ethan, Any charging port you get off Ebay should do the job, I’d pay attention to the titles. Some are listed as NEW 3DS and some are listed just as 3DS which could indicate there’s a difference between those two. Anyways to replace the port I’d recommend a hot air station which would make the replacement, well, not easy but easier than if you were to use just a soldering iron. You could always try a more barbaric approach (not really recommended): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=924Bukhn
