heyo! my friend recently gave me a New Nintendo 3DS XL to fix, it originally had the problem of bootlooping while showing a blue light and no display, with the startup sound playing every around 15 seconds, so i decided to open it, only to then power it back on and find out it had completely died on me. no LEDs, no power draw, nothing. all the important connectors are untouched and seated correctly, none of the fuses are blown, and the battery is fully charged, maybe even a bit overcharged since it shows 3.88v on my multimeter. only sign of life is the yellow charging LED turning on when powering it via the charging cable, but nothing else works. any tips?

p.s., it was running Luma3DS apparently before i got it from my friend, but it didnt come with an sd or microsd card

ALSO i mightve accidentally left out the fact i had to drill out a screw or two since they were completely stripped, made EXTRA careful to not damage anything tho, and it doesnt seem like i did
