Hi. So um, about four years ago my dumb 17 year old self stripped the screws on this thing’s backplate as I didn’t have any triwing or proper Philips driver tips back then. Don’t even know what I wanted to do after opening it up.
Flash forward to last Friday when I cracked it open to get some dust out & repaste the SoC/heatsink, I bought a big ass screwdriver set with special Nintendo tips, and yes they’re the exact type I needed. I had to apply like.. quite a bit of pressure with the screwdriver as the backplate screws barely had any give, due to them being stripped, and now, I’m scared I may have killed the backlight after putting everything back together (the actual LCD panel and touchscreen layer work just fine as per the attached image). I didn’t touch the display assembly or apply direct pressure
I tried everything like going into maintenance mode and whatnot hoping it’d work, to no avail. However, the backlight DOES turn on while it’s showing the nintendo logo (think right after turning the switch on) but from that point onwards it’s lights out for some reason. Is there an explanation for the backlight only working for like 3 seconds?
Am I royally fucked?
