Installation guide - Replacing a console shell or hinge
General guidance for this part type - always follow your device manual- Tri-wing and Phillips screwdrivers
- Plastic spudger and tweezers
- Never force a ribbon through a tight hinge; a creased ribbon is the most common cause of a blank top screen.
- 1Prepare. Switch the console off and remove its battery, game card and memory card.
- 2Open it up. Remove all screws, including any hidden under stickers or rubber feet, and photograph the layout before lifting anything.
- 3Move the internals. Lift the ribbon locks and take out the board, buttons, rubber pads, speakers and screens, keeping each set together.
- 4Fit the new part. Rebuild in the new shell or with the new hinge, threading ribbons through the hinge along the original path without pinching them.
- 5Test before closing. Check every button, the screens and the hinge through its full movement, then tighten screws only until snug.
This is general guidance for the part type, not a model-specific procedure. If the part does not fit without force, stop and recheck compatibility.
