Hardware Can i repair Flexcable or do i need to buy them?

[pandavova]

I fucked up the L Button and the "Camera" Cable. ("Camera" cause when i open the Camera App it crashes...)
The "L" Cable is now two separate parts and the "Camera" Cable have a small crack...
AND i lost a LED plastic "thing"... (on the charging LED)...

The plastic thing must i buy... But can i repair the Flexcable?

Impossible.

I got L and R repair cables for o3DS very cheap on Ebay, for under 10€. Can't be much more for XL... Just search a while for cheapest listings. Build them into my 3DS myself easily, works perfectly.

To be clear: Is this the "Camera" Cable?

It looks like you tore the screen cable. Lucky for you a top screen lcd is like 15 bucks. Unlucky for you, its a bitch to replace.

You need to fully tear it down and be careful with them. There are latches on all the ribbon cable slots that you need to unlock before even attempting to pull out.

After its torn down you need to figure out what you need to replace.

Its not the Top Screen Cable, cause i can see the top screen... Only when i start the Camera it crashes... And when i open Face Raiders it shows me a Black Square, where the Picture would be... When i try to use MiiMaker (make a Mii with Cam) it crashes...

Yes it is.

Yes it is.

Thank you.. Now i must spend probably +25€ maybe more, to sell the 3DS for 135€. Already buyed a Motherboard for 40€... :/ F*** Flexcables...

Yeah.... Long time ago, the 10.3 Times ---> Bricked :/ (I didnt know that you can make nand backups without a hardmod)
Im repairing/destroying it now to sell it... When someone give me now for that 3DS 115€ + Shipping, thx. But Ebay users dont like me ._.
So im repairing it and add the "repair cost" to the 115€........

Tbh you could have just force updated to 11.x and then looked for a local hardmodder to downgrade safely to 9.2 and install a9lh, it probably would have cost less than getting the new parts etc and you would have been all ready to go :/ maybe see if @konsolenumbau.expert is willing to sort some deal out if he can fix the old motherboard too and maybe take it as collateral towards the repairs as tbh if you struggled with putting those cables in you have zero chance installing a replacement camera as that's quite a fiddly job and involves completely tearing the entire console down
