Is the process of repairing the circle pad the same as the old 3ds XL?
Are the screws the same diameter and does the old and new 3ds both have the same parts?
Is this a good question?

Hey Archie! Comparing these two guides I found that the some of the screws are the same size and head type Phillips #00. Although the two devices have some similar components, the layout is a bit different once you get inside. Check out the guides for the older 3DS and let us know if you have any questions.
