So, as a cautinary tale for others to not repeat my mistake :^)
I went on aliexpress and got a shell, for around 40 USD. Thought everything would be OK, that the shell swap would take around 2 hours.
I was very wrong and naive. It took around 12 hours total and some of my nerves, definitely.
Unfortunately, during boot I discovered that the n3DSXL would boot (before that it was doing okay) for few seconds (lower LED was glowing blue), then -pop- sound and it's dead. Since I have installed B9Strap I tested the mainboard - it was responsive - the status led went green. So no problem there.
I suspect either either faulty connection or faulty cable and I really hope it's the first one :').
Since I am planning to either way get rid of the aliexpress case, I suppose i could connect it "naked" and check if that's working, but in case it's a faulty cable, is there a way to test, which cable is causing the problems so I can get rid of it? Or if there is a script to run to test it?
