Hey everyone,

I haven’t seen anything for this specific problem except for 1 reddit post 2 years ago with no responses, but oddly only one person with the same problem.

I have a japan region original 3DS where the bottom screen and touch screen don’t work. I thought it would be an easy swap, but I put in a known working one and it didn’t work. The backlight lights up, but no video and the touch screen doesn’t work. The motherboard doesn’t look bad at all, no liquid damage, no corrosion. Is there a common component for these two devices? Anything I should be looking for?

Thanks for reading!

I also have this problem. The bottom screen doesn’t light up. Even after replacing it with a new one, it still doesn’t light up. Can you tell me which fuse it is?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
