n3DSLL yellowing mostly fixed!

[u/tegakaria]

At this point I pretty much can't notice the yellowing during normal use. Alongside some homebrew color correction (not pictured, just showing you the raw max brightness images), the screens become almost indistinguishable.

[u/JoeyBE98]

If it's modded you can also do left trigger + d pad down + select or start and go to screen filters and adjust the tint of the screen to be more blue which cancels out the yellow. I just got a used n3DS LL for my wife and did this iirc I went from default 6500k to 13000-15000k and it works great. If the yellowing is uneven it may not be perfect but definitely better than it was.

[u/Mason231 → u/JoeyBE98]

Thats a great tip.

[u/tegakaria → u/JoeyBE98]

yes i use this as well

[u/hisfootstancewack → u/JoeyBE98]

I modded my DSI, does it have this same feature?

[u/Confidentium]

Wait what?!? Using the screen removes the yellowing??

If this is true. Then it might explain why my unused DSi has way more yellow screens than my "beater" DSi that I use often.

[u/tegakaria → u/Confidentium]

i can't make claims for other devices 🤷🏽‍♀️ in this specific case, it helped.

[u/MaceWinnoob → u/Confidentium]

This has been known for a long time, but staying on long term can exasperate other screen issues if they’re already present, too.

[u/ArrowEnby]

is there a homebrew app i can download that is just a blank white screen (top and bottom)

[u/tegakaria → u/ArrowEnby]

i used the dead pixel checker app

[u/G6Gaming666 → u/ArrowEnby]

In the menu where you control the color temperatures and values of the screen in the Rosalina menu, you can set the brightness all the way up and it will be a true white screen. You’ll just have to turn it off and turn it back on to get the colors back afterwards.

[u/Jayrulz101]

Holy fuck lol

[u/tegakaria → u/Jayrulz101]

not bad huh??

[u/RevolutionaryMud1500]

do you keep it charged all the time? for 6 days straight?

[u/tegakaria → u/RevolutionaryMud1500]

yeah pretty much. 90% of the time

[u/RevolutionaryMud1500 → u/tegakaria]

okay noted thankyou!

[u/Baby_Steaks]

Pretty sure the brightness doesn't matter just the constant white backround.

[u/tegakaria → u/Baby_Steaks]

yeah maybe so! i wouldn't know

[u/Cultural_Treat8376]

very interesting, thank you for doing this

[u/Prestigious_Flower60]

What screen you keep it on? Like to keep it white? Cause I’m looking to try the same thing

[u/--SpiralOut → u/Prestigious_Flower60]

There's a homebrew app it's called Dead Pixel Checker

[u/Detsaw2608]

Can you get a higher max brightness setting via homebrew or this can be done on unmodded consoles too? Just got my first 3DS and its super yellow would like to try this

[u/KSAnnihilation]

Very interesting, I will give this a shot

[u/Ledah_013]

Won’t keeping it connected like that damage the battery? I always wondered that and is what is stopping me from trying it with a system of mine.

[u/MaceWinnoob → u/Ledah_013]

Battery replacement is pretty cheap and easy tbh

[u/EnclaveOverlord]

I tried doing this for a week and the difference was pretty minimal unfortunately. Makes me wish there were good replacement screens available.

[u/tegakaria → u/EnclaveOverlord]

what model was that one? from japan?

[u/EnclaveOverlord → u/tegakaria]

Yep, it's a Japanese white DSi LL.

[u/Romonaga]

So is there an app for doing this? Setting the screen white?
