Hardware New 3ds cracked screen, many dead pixels.

[Super1710]

So, I messed up. I got a crack on my screen, at first there were a few dead pixels and it was pretty small, but it was annoying nonetheless. Slowly but surely, the dead pixels disappeared... until the crack expanded further and further and now there are dead pixels all over the top of the screen. Some of them have been noticeably expanding vertically, others have been retracting. I couldn't find any repair shops that do New 3ds in my area, and my warranty ran out (even if it didn't I have CFW). I have watched those "get rid of dead pixels" videos on YouTube on my 3ds but they didn't make a difference. Here's a picture:https://m.imgur.com/a/5OZzR. Sorry for low quality, what can I do about it? I don't want to buy a new 3ds as that would be pretty expensive.

Replace the screen yourself then...

Two things: I checked for replacement sceens online and could only find O3ds or 3ds XL, secondly I'd probably fuck my console up as I hear it's the hardest piece to do yourself on O3ds.

If you have a chance to take apart the New 3DS (original), try comparing the top LCD to that of the Old 3DS (original). The reason why you or no one seem to be able to find an replacement LCD is because the two might share the same screen models.

The New 3ds screen is a bit larger than the o3ds screen, so unfortunately that's not possible.

Try contacting this seller on aliexpress. He might carry the part in question.

Those claim to be for N3DS in the title, could be good idea to ask the seller anyway.

I think that buying a screen to repair myself would work as a last resort, seeing as I can find barely any documentation on the screen and I'm not good with hardware, but I find it interesting how the black pixels retract and expand, is there a way to get rid of them without necessarily replacing the screen? I know it's very unlikely there is but I think I'm screwed every other way.

Do you drink tea from a cracked tea cup? Maybe one slightly chipped on the brim, that's your favorite cup, and you don't want to let it go.

Well, that's exactly like what your broken LCD is.

Damn. Guess there's not much else to do about it.
