And now, I'm asking my friends here if anybody would be kind enough to donate towards me getting it repaired by Nintendo.
They want to charge $85, so that's my goal.

Here's what the website says the cost of the repair will be.

And then here are two pictures of the damage.

Now you're probably wondering why I'm asking for donations. The reasoning is that I simply do not have the funds nor means to acquire the funds. That's why I'm asking everyone here.

If you are interested in donating, click the donate button on my tumblr: http://taykitty-gaming.tumblr.com/

Thank you so much, everyone.

I'm more curious as to how you broke it, mine has taken quite a few blows and the damage is only internal.

Did you use it to cut watermelons or something?

And that's why 2DS is better: no hinges - no problems.

Jokes aside, maybe you can just glue it back? With epoxy or something.

It's dropped a few times....like, from my lap while on the toilet dropped height.

i tried looking at that, but the way it's broken makes it impossible. it's not super broken and it's more like tiny pieces broke off, not huge bits.

I guess you could say, the fate of your 3DS would hinge on these donations.

I'm currently out of town, so no donations for me

its gonna cost more than $85

you will also need to cover tax so that brings it up some and if you're canadian also need cover the CAD-US conversion

and you also need to supply your own box and bubble wrap

you can how ever get nintendo to pay for the actual shipping

it's 0.69, where do you think it went?
in reality, it was taken by paypal due to taxes.
