OK after doing a hamfisted job of modifying my 3DS XL I've bluescreened the console.
A capacitor has fallen off (C154, below the CLK test point on the diagram), the console was still working after that.
I believe I then managed to damage a resistor array (RA2, near the DAT3 test point on the diagram) after trying remove solder from the flooded joints. The blue screen happened because of this.
From testing with a multimeter I believe the array to be this now:
|50 |50 |50 |50
---------------------------
|850 |850 |50 |50
all of the resistors should be rated 50 ohms I believe (could anyone check for me?). I could buy another surface mount resistor but I don't have the equipment to precisely attach it.
