    Homebrew Is this enough to do a hardmod?

    Sorry if i wasn't clear. I meant you should never touch the solder to the soldering iron. That evaporates the flux inside, the material that causes the solder to adhere to surfaces. If you touch the solder to the iron rather than the component you wish to solder, the solder will not adhere...

    Homebrew Is this enough to do a hardmod?

    I suggest looking up a more detailed guide on how to solder to contact pads to learn more, but here's the gist: Start by "Tinning" both the ends of the wires and the pads you wish to connect to. This is essentially just applying solder to them. You do this by holding the solder and soldering...

    Homebrew Is this enough to do a hardmod?

    Just to make sure you understand, you need a MicroSD to SD adapter card. Not a regular SD card. With that out of the way... That's the idea. I would suggest color coding your wires to make sure you connect the correct pins from the adapter to the correct pads on the motherboard. Remember, be...

    The weird lighting effects is probably the casing pressing on the sides of the screen. The old models are known to do that. Not being able to change the brightness, now that's not an issue i've heard of before. Do not use solder for these zif connectors. Unless you are a soldering god, you...

    If you broke the clip off of the ZIF connector for the circle pad, you can secure it in the connector with electrical tape. Not pretty, but it works.

    MOST of them are friction clips. There are a select few of the small ones that have black clamps on them, namely the circle pad and the touch screen digitizer. The one in particular that he took a picture of was one such clip.

    Homebrew How do I remove a9lh+luma3ds to factory settings?

    The original sysNAND backup from plailect's guide is a clean 9.2.0 image. emunand9 is only on the sd card. The original backup should not contain an injected FBI, though it may contain menuhax. To get rid of menuhax, just switch home themes. Once you are flashed to that image, you should be good...

    Homebrew How do I remove a9lh+luma3ds to factory settings?

    You should be able to use Decrypt9 to restore the original backup of your NAND. There is an option in the sysNAND restore menu that does not preserve a9lh.

    With those ones that have the really tiny black clip, you push the ribbon in as far as it will go and then gently clip down the flap. That will lock it into place. Be very careful, as it is HELL to replace those clips.

    If you provide a picture of the exact ZIFs you are having issues with, I can perhaps tell you the issue.

    Homebrew Custom Theme Thread

    Why are 90% of themes on 3dsthem.es just anime girls in seductive poses? I don't get why people want fap material as the theme for every time they turn on their 3ds.

    For the wider ribbon cables, there will be a small flap on the ZIF connector that has to be gently flipped up. For the smaller ones, they just come out with a small amount of force. Look up how to use ZIF connectors if you have not seen them before. It's really not hard to break them.
