Hello, I recently rehoused my New 3DS LL. Somehow, when I was putting it back together, I messed up the power and now it must be plugged in to turn on.
Not a light turns on without the power cord. However, if I connect the cord, the charging light comes on. and it turns on (and everything works) ONLY with the battery inserted. When on, the charging light is off, but if I disconnect the cable the system instantly powers off.
I suspected the battery was bad, but I not only tested it, but I swapped it with a working one with no change.
Upon further examination, I see that there is a very small tear in the bottom of the ribbon cable connecting the Power & ABXY board to the main board. Is the bottom where the power delivery happens? If so, I will just buy a new cable for a couple bucks.
Any help is appreciated!
Here's the cable.
Update: Upon taking it apart and putting it back together, it is no longer turning on.
