Take a look of this picture for the connector location :Ok - give me a minute
BTW - is there any way to just disable the touch input? But leave the bottom screen on?

Ok - disconnected it, now it turns on with only the top screen, but the issue remains
In your case, hardmod can't change nothing, dumping NAND to reinject same NAND it's a wast of time.I tried connecting it without touch sensor, but id did not fix anything
I will try to do the hardware mod.
I don't think there is a way to downgrade / install CFW without touch screen fonction because you need it to hack the console.I'm 99% sure it's software - the buttons are working, just not when the system fully loads ;/
BTW. What about custom firmware? Is there any recommended?
Did you looked in the Ribbon Socket for the Touchscreen ? There should be 6 Pins (I just have 5 xD I need to buy now a new Board iFixit 75€)Unfortunately it's out of warranty, and the reply from nintendo was "most probably we will not be able to repair it with update service tools, and the replacement motherboard will cost 122 Eur" I can get a new n3ds for that price.
I can replace it by a new one.Did you looked in the Ribbon Socket for the Touchscreen ? There should be 6 Pins (I just have 5 xD I need to buy now a new Board iFixit 75€)
I don't know but I learned from my faults and now this thing is laying here somewhere.... XD (disassembled)Hello, and excuse me to revive this old thread, but I have recently got a New 3DS with the same issue and I don't really know what to do in order to fix it.
I have already tried to clean the display and I have also changed the digitizer, hoping that was the problem.
Do you have any ideas?

First of all does your 3DS boot ?No, it's not under warranty. I have bought it as is at a very cheap price, though.
At the moment I don't have much free time to test it thoroughly, that is why I have asked here for a 'fast solution'.
Also, it's almost impossible to find any schematic/manual/info about the 3DS console.
Yes the console boots up perfectly and screens are working. The problem is that both the touch input and buttons are not working. 3D is also disabled. Actually, ZL and ZR as well as the C-stick are working. When powered up audio is muted but if I close the console and open it again audio works.First of all does your 3DS boot ?
Mine did somehow the first time I reassembled it but I didn't know I messed up with the gray ribbon responsible for the touch screen :/
You should check for any defects or broken pins/sockets on the board and then look further and replace that stuff that is broken ?
There won't be a fast solution (fixing a broken 3ds is a troublesome process and risky XD)
Can you send a pic of your motherboard (showing the ribbon wires and all)? Oh and for some reason (my internet blocks pics from other website) if you don't upload the pic to GBATemp, I can't see it. It just showsYes the console boots up perfectly and screens are working. The problem is that both the touch input and buttons are not working. 3D is also disabled.

Lastly, as OP and other people on the Internet stated, it is possible to boot into the system update menu by pressing a buttons combo during startup. However, the menu is unusable since touch screen still does not work. That's clear that buttons are working and the problem is something else.
