Broken hardware sucks
Hello Pixlbit, hope you had a good weekend. Was going to post something else, but due to being busy, I couldn't finish today's post. So instead here is the damage of my 3DS:
As you can see, the analog nub is broken, but you can't make any sort of movement in any game, making the analog useless.
And here is something I forgot to show, you see the 3DS right? Do you see that thing trying to stick out from the back? Well that's the battery. It's like it's trying to force itself out. That and it only gives me 1 minute of play, despite being fully charged. And yeah that's my hand holding it.
I can't get a New 3DS right now but I really need an upgrade. I'd be fine with the broken analog, but Nintendo isn't stocking the regular batteries on their site and I'm quite weary of third-party ones. I guess I'll have to hold out a bit longer.
Well, that's about it, what do you think of this mess? Thanks for reading and later.
ah that sucks, man! 
did u consider ebay for a nintendo branded battery or Amazon?
That's rough, My laptop actually just had a very irregular shutdown and its battery is also constantly trying to escape.
I've had a Nyko Battery on mine since launch and never had a problem. You have to removed the back plate altogether because the battery is quite a bit bigger but you also get way better battery life than the original. It cost 15 bucks.
Whoa, that sucks.
Really sucks man. Hope you get a replacement soon (either normal or New 3DS).
Wow, that hurts to look at. I remember when my DS hinges busted, bad times.
Yikes, man, you must have Epic Thumbs of Destruction! That is just bizarre about the battery though.
How did that happen?
That reminds me, I have a backup PSP in my closet and noticed the battery has swelled so it doesn't fit in the casing anymore. I think it might burst and send acid all over. I should remove it pronto!
