If you've seen other people with the same problem, it's probably due to same causes they've posted about in the past..?
If you're looking for someone to fix it in your neighborhood, then that would obviously depend on where you are located and who might be available.
I asked simply because I was unsure as many of the threads give no clear answer. And I was looking to fix it myself.
When does it happen, always when the console is powered on?
Yeah as soon as it turns on it’s sits at a black screen for may 5-10ish seconds (maybe more) then shuts off and pops
Got it I’ll try it out and get back to you
The fact that the upper screen is not flashing suggests it's the upper screen ribbon cable that's the issue. That's also the most common cause for this issue. Maybe it's been dislodged slightly from the 3DS being dropped, or maybe it's just worn from years of opening and closing. The ribbon cable doesn't disconnect from the screen, so if the ribbon cable itself is damaged, the entire upper screen needs to be replaced. Also, threading the ribbon cable through the hinge part is tricky.
