"The top screen can be a bit tricky, but luckily there has been a guide created that will help you through the steps in order to replace the Upper LED. This Nintendo 3DS XL Upper LED Replacement Guide should be helpful in the replacement process.
"WATCH THE ENTIRE VIDEO BEFORE REPLAYING TO ACTUALLY TAKE ANY OF THE STEPS! You should note in his title it says, ""3DS XL Top LCD Screen Replacement and Teardown Tutorial.: In other words, he's going to tear it down in its entirety first, then he shows how he removes the top screen for replacement - you do not need to take all those other steps if you're only replacing the top screen ;) Good luck!
