Hey guys,
I was attempting to reshell my CFWd Black N3DS XL after it accidentally took a bad fall and the case ended up with very bad cracks and scratches. After opening it and swapping everything, I turned it on to see that the top screen was completely black, and after rebooting the console would simply flash a blue light then immediately power off. Upon reopening it seems that I have damaged the connectors for 2 of the small flex cables (I couldn't get the cables to pop out, but now they are bent up and wont stay down) and the retaining flap of a larger one popped off it seems (I still have the piece but I cannot seem to reattach it). Is there any way I can go about fixing my console or getting it fixed? I'd send my console to Nintendo but I'm sure they'd send it back for being tampered with... And I'd prefer not to have to purchase a new console and loose all of my saves. Is there a way I can keep these cables secured so I can boot my 3ds again? I also attempted to use normal strips of electrical tape, but it wasn't sticking to the board. I'd even be fine with a temporary solution just so I can run JKSM and dump my saves. Would it be possible to do a hard mod of sorts and dump them from my computer?
Here are some photos of the damage.

Thank you so much in advance for the help.
