I’m trying to buy a used Japanese New 3DS LL (I hate how Nintendo named that thing) with an IPS top screen, and there’s one listing where the price is what I’m willing to pay, the screens are pristine with no yellowing and I’m fine with the condition of the back plates, but there’s a small crack in the console just below the upper screen. I do not have the experience to replace the whole shell, is this something I could use a bit of glue or epoxy and be fine or would this become a huge problem?

    This isn’t my 3ds, this is a seller image. There’s a lot to like about the rest of it, but ultimately I’ve decided not to buy this one because of the damage. I looked into what it would take to change it and I don’t think I have the skills to do it - and this isn’t “fun to tinker with” cheap. And yeah, replacing the shell on a 3ds looks like it sucks major ass, lol.
