I have this old 3DS XL which had multiple problems preventing it to boot (speakers not working, broken digitizer) that I fixed.
I happily tested it, everything seemed back in order, but I noticed that the cursor was circling down for a few seconds just after booting it. After 5-10 seconds, the cursor just stops.
I searched for a few seconds and discovered that the C-stick is responding only right and left, and not up or down. Easy fix, I thought: replace the C-stick, and voila!
Few minutes later, exactly the same behavior with a known working C-Stick: cursor keeps moving down for 5-10 seconds. No response from C-stick on a vertical axis,only horizontal. It is working both axis with the pad however.
I know that if you boot without the stick, cursor moves right for a few seconds, and it felt like the system is doing the same (as if detecting only partially the c-stick).
I decided to clean the contacts: same behavior.
I unplugged the c-stick and booted again: I expected cursor to move only right. Cursor moved diagonally down and right before stopping after few seconds!
I'm a bit lost now on how to proceed with this one... Any ideas on what could cause this ? A faulty contact?
Thanks!
