Hi 3DS community — I recently bought the JP exclusive Minecraft 2DS on ebay. Not a cheap item but it appeared to be in good condition from the pics and the description only listed some scratches and a bit of yellowing.
It looked great at first glance, but as I was putting on screen protectors, I noticed that the right side of the hinge is cracked. I went back and looked at the images in the original listing and it's definitely there, thought it's not evident that it's a crack unless you know to look for it.
My question is, can I repair or at least prevent it from getting worse? I am planning to use the console, not just display it. From looking at other threads, there is a lot of differing advice on this type of issue. Obviously a re-shell on this special edition console is not an option. Varying opinions on what glue to use, or whether it's a good option at all.
Overall just bummed and really dreading the thought of trying to return it, paying another $40 in shipping back to Japan, and trying to find another one in good condition for a semi-reasonable price. So I would rather address the problem if possible and keep it.
Thanks in advance.
