I have an old 3DS that has been dropped about about 3 years ago, and the screen is perma-locked on 3D mode. And as Nintendo no longer repair these (And i voided my warrenty) and then i was an idiot, and formatted it.
Now im stuck on a screen saying to move the slider up.
Is there a way to fix this?
I have another 3DS, a New 2DS Xl with Luma cfw, Godmode9, Boot9strap, and it is on version 11.9 (sadly, no flashcards, though, so no Gateway.)
It lets me accses the system update page and connect to WIFI, but chrashes when i try to download.
Here's a link to a video:
Thank you. :yay3ds:

Could you possibly make a A9LH card with a DS or 3DS cartridge with godmode9?
I don't think you know what A9LH is.

Yes, but you're going to have to buy a ntrboot-supported DS flashcart. This is the recommended one to get: https://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=575

I have a second 3DS, so is there a chance i could take the working 3DS's ribbon cables and temporarily switch them to the 3D stuck one?
If you're going through the effort of taking it apart, you could just swap the motherboard from the broken 3d slider console to the working 3d slider one and then go through the set up.

But wouldent that put the setup completion on the un-stuck 3DS?

The danger with that is if you then fuck up taking apart the working 3ds you will end up with two fucked machines rather than one. Makes more sense to just spend a few pounds or dollars or whatever to buy a new ribbon and if you then fuck up taking apart the already fucked 3ds then you still have a working one to use.

Nah, that UK flag did not make it obvious. That Glasgow capital should have been a dead giveaway but remember 'Murica suck at geography. It's a shame your British identity automatically mistaken you for being English for those not familiar with the Commonwealth. lol

Hmm, this would be great time to suggest GBAtemp for additional flairs of Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland. Just in time for Brexit to make it happen.

Back on subject. @TheVideoEffect, yah follow Amanda's advice. Don't risk taking apart your 2nd system. It's not worth it.

I re-read your original post. Why would you consider tearing down your n2DSXL to swap parts to fix your o3DS? Even if you can jerry rig something, that model doesn't have 3D mode or the slider switch to do it. :unsure:
Ehm, i wasn't going to tear i down. i was just wondering if there was a way to ix my o3DS by using software on my N2DSx

Ooo, software repair.
You can SysNAND Restore (Safe) with GodMode9 if you made a prior backup. The drawback to doing this that all your games will be unrecognized. I guess it doesn't matter in your case if you already did a Format System Memory.
There's performing an unauthorized (homebrew) System Transfer using another o3DS / o2DS / o3DSXL with a privately created CTRTransfer *.bin image. You could bypass that intro 3D check by running under that donor system's NAND image. However, using a NAND image from a different 3DS can cause both systems to get banned. A "safer" approach to this method is to (homebrew) System Transfer your o3DS NAND image to another system, that 2nd 3DS/2DS creates the user profile, and then (homebrew) System Transfer back the edited NAND image to the o3DS.

Unfortunately, you can't perform that latter roundabout method as the old / new series are not cross compatible in 3DS firmware NAND image swapping.

Sucky Option A
  1. Hack the o3DS with NTRboot using a flashcart like the R4i Gold 3DS Plus.
  2. Find a buddy that has an o2DS /o3DS / o3DSXL who wants custom firmware. Hack his/hers too.
  3. Perform a temporary authorized System Transfer with your (source) o3DS and their (target) o2/3DS/XL. Use EmuNAND on the target system.
  4. With the target system kept offline, create the user profile. (Homebrew) System Transfer back the profile to the o3DS.
  5. Delete the EmuNAND from your buddy's SD card.

Sucky Option B
  1. Despite the extensive difficulty, repair the o3DS yourself by replacing the flex cable part that contains the 3D slider switch.

Sucky Option C

1A. Buy a cheap & used o3DS with working 3D switch, swap motherboards, create the profile, and swap back mobos.​
or

1B. Sell the o3DS as-is for parts on craigslist. Use the money to buy another 3DS/2DS system, Switch, etc.

Sucky Option D
1. Pay a electronic repair specialist to fix your o3DS, either independent or franchised service.

Ill try to do option A, but i also need to fix my o2DS that isn't modded. I posted a thread, and just so you dont have to visit the thread, The 2DS is stuk with the backlight on, and when i get to the Power off screen and then put it in sleep mode/press the home menu button, it says "HOME MENU" and just stays there. so yeah.
