I am reshelling an original 3DS and now need to lock the hinge in place, but am unsure of what the correct hinge alignment is. There is a flat side and a round side, but I failed to pay attention to which side faced toward me when I was removing it from the old shell. Does anybody know which way to correctly insert the hinge to assure proper opening and closing?
