FAQ

1. Can these new parts fit the Version 1 unhinged?

With the exception of the flat battery panel, no.

2.  Do I use stock silicone, do I use stock L and R buttons, etc?

Answer: I have created an assembly process with images so you can see what is involved to assemble and get a better understanding of what parts are needed for your custom build.

3. Can I use an OEM screen?

Yes!  The stock screen is a VERY tight fit, so carefully remove the foam on the back of the screen and grind down all solder joints on your Nintendo PCB that may interfere with the screen.
