    Hardware O3DS repair?

    Completely disassembled the 3DS (including the top screen) and cleaned it. Reseated all cables coming from top and bottom screens. Powered it up, top screen flashes, powers off. Frustrating, but not surprising. Looks like I might have to just replace the whole unit after all.

    Hardware O3DS repair?

    Okay, I'll try cleaning those connectors and reseating every cable I can find. Not sure that I'll be able to get a hold of another system, though. Odds are that I'll end up buying a N3DS anyway as this one is starting to be more trouble than it's worth. Also, I contacted the guy I bought this...

    Alrighty, so I got the replacement parts in the mail today and popped them in. No change. Top screen still flashes and powers off the unit. Bummer :(

    Nope, using an official Nintendo charger. I'll keep that in mind if I ever have to replace my charger, though.

    Hardware O3DS repair?

    Alrighty, I'll order the parts tomorrow, then. I'll be sure to be CAREFUL this time around :P Oh, and about the bottom screen... it was flashing after I took the 3DS apart the first time, not the top one. I did manage to get the console to turn on ONCE after I took the back cover off the first...

    Hardware O3DS repair?

    I can confirm that the top screen is the one that is flashing. I took a look at the P12 ribbon cable and can see that it is torn. Also, if it's relevant, the ribbon cable near the headphone jack is also torn. Other than that, all the other cables seem to be fine.

    Hardware O3DS repair?

    Buying a New 3DS is my absolute last resort. I'd really like to keep this one as long as I can, seeing as it's on a firmware I can use homebrew on.

    Hardware O3DS repair?

    My O3DS suddenly powered off yesterday with a loud pop. I tried powering it on again and it appeared to be starting up (blue LED lit up for a few seconds). However, it popped again and the top screen flashed bright white. No power. Tried to power it on a second time and got the same thing again...
