Inserting a SD card into the New Nintendo 3DS

I bought a New Nintendo 3ds from one of the bargain post here but I can't seem open the back to insert the Sd card. Thus it is currently unusable. I bought so many screwdrivers and when I finally looked it up on google to find the right screwdriver, it still would not open. It just makes a clicky sound whenever I turn the screw. Please help or can someone refer me to a place where I can get help. Thanks.

    The N3DS should have a 4GB micro sd in it already… if not, iono… you can't actually take the screws out (at least not on mine) once you loosen the screws enough, you need to use the pen it comes with to take the backing off, you will have to apply force though.

  • If the screws are clicking they are undone. Just pop the cover off.

  • Hey mate - there are guides online, but I actually did this recently.

    The screws dont fully unscrew, they sit in the casing.

    1) Unscrew the screws till they are loose and seem to be out as much as possible.
    2) using the back of the stylus, down the side of the backing plate, you sip the back of the stylus in and pop out each side, this will let you remove the cover off.

    It's really quite easy - but I'd advise youtubing it.

    Hope this helps!
