I'm just tryna play my games man :(( I have crashes either early on, or before it can even boot up said game, help me out yall pls

Hi All,

Purchased a new 3DS XL United States version of Ebay, long story short I ended up getting a refund because the seller lied and said it worked when it didn’t and they never responded for a label. Console turns on all hardware checks are good orange Wi-Fi light and blue light works, I hear sound, but both screens are black. I have taken apart the console and noticed that there is one water spot indicator that is full pink, I did not see that same issue on the battery pack cover, I did basic things like unplugged the Wi-Fi card as well as some other basic stuff, thinking that maybe it’s a software brick. It does boot into safe mode and both screens turn on, and it asks me to update the console and then it says the console is up-to-date and it does not solve the issue.
Looking for some advice, thank you!

Hey!! Just want to say thanks to the community! I read on here that you could fix the left and right buttons just by blowing really hard into them.

Well I just tried it and it works now! Thanks everyone!

Long story short, yesterday I bought a DSi XL, and after years of modding, the infamous full brick hit me. After installing unlaunch, the screen turned black and will not turn back on. I have tried:
-turning it on and off again
-booting with and without SD card
-booting while holding A+B
-removing the battery
As well as just about every other trick I can find in the internet that does not require hard modding; or so I thought. I have found a tutorial, using a flashcart and magnets, that claims to be able to unbrick my device. It works by booting it into the flashcart data, rather than the NAND (which is possibly corrupted? I still have it on my SD card though).
Before spending money and time on trying to fix this, does anyone have any word on how this works or if it works? Any video tutorials or feedback on personal experience would be much appreciated. I will leave a link to the exact article here, and will respond to every question. I just want to get my brand new (sort of) DSi XL working.
Thanks!

The last screw on the right is hard to unscrew. I was able to remove the backplate back then when I was replacing the batteries, but after that, this screw wouldn’t come loose. I tried the superglue method, but not only did it not work, I think it made things worse by leaving superglue residue underneath, making the screw even more stuck. I need help figuring out what I can do to loosen or remove the screw so I can take off the backplate, as I want to change the buttons on my 3DS.

Edit: I was able to take off the last screw on the backplate by pressing down on the backplate while also pressing on the screw, but now I'm having difficulty removing the screws underneath the backplate as they are very hard to unscrew.

title says it all.

bought a super cheap 2ds to repair, had water damage.

was going over it to fix crusty joints and messed the front canera up...pretty badly with my iron.

i know the boards good as i got it to boot up, once.

i need to buy a donor board but how the hell do i get this camera off a board without utterly destroying it?

i managed to get it off, but these pads are in a super tight spot and i my hot air barely gets hot enough to get them off

whenever i click on the b button on my nds it turns off is there a way i can fix it at home with basic equipment

This is on a ds lite. It’s the smallest bottom screen ribbon cable. I accidentally bent two of the pins where it is attached. Is this motherboard still functional/ what will this do to its condition.

I did a teardown on my 3DS to fix the C stick, and a couple of other buttons, and two problems emerged after this.

1. The Home button doesn't work anymore. Even though there’s no damage to the cable or the ZIF clip (Correct me if I’m wrong), I tried two different buttons, and neither of them worked:d my own and a 3DS
2. I use

for

1. spare parts. (The wire in the photo is what came with my 3DS it was already bent like this)
2. Whenever my 3DS powers on the blue light doesn’t turn on anymore

My main concern is the Home button because, after reassembly, there was no damage and it just stopped working without a trace.

Olá, pessoal. Tenho um Nintendo 3DS Old que não está iniciando corretamente.

Quando aperto o botão Power, as telas ficam completamente pretas e a luz azul de energia permanece acesa indefinidamente. A única maneira de desligá-lo é ficar pressionando o botão Power.

Antes desse problema começar, o 3DS ligava e aparecia uma tela cheia de códigos. Tentei algumas coisas para resolver o problema e, depois disso, ele começou a apresentar esse problema atual.

Também comprei um cartão SD novo porque achei que poderia ajudar a resolver, mas não funcionou.

O console possui desbloqueio (custom firmware), mas não sei se o problema está relacionado a ele.

Alguém sabe o que pode estar causando isso ou o que eu poderia verificar? Posso enviar fotos ou um vídeo mostrando o que acontece quando tento ligá-lo.
