MikeyLORR replied to the thread Hardware 2 Broken 3DSes, need help.It booted into the home menu. Also I did inform the owner and we're gonna try a replacement. In the meantime I'll mess around with the N2DSXL again 1780849158 @IC YO I MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO FIX THIS 2DS!!!! I was messing with the motherboard...

MikeyLORR replied to the thread Hardware 2 Broken 3DSes, need help.Good news, after testing for a little while, I narrowed it down to the top screen. When I unplugged the top screen ribbon, it turned on. So I know what the problem is, and I just need to replace the top screen. Unfortunately, this is another...

MikeyLORR replied to the thread DS Phat D-pad clicking too much.That was my best guess, I doubt it's the motherboard. I'll get to work on swapping the shells later tonight and let you know what the results are. Thank you for the input!! 1779596834 Looks like swapping the shell fixed it, it feels much better...
