    Hardware 2 Broken 3DSes, need help

    I'm gonna ask if their DS is modded, I'm pretty sure it is, and I'll try this (probably tomorrow or later in the week) Yes, same thing when it's open. And again I'm pretty sure it's modded but I will confirm. If it is a hardware issue, do you have any ideas what it could be or how I can test...

    Hardware 2 Broken 3DSes, need help

    Hi everyone, I was at a 3DS event in the city yesterday, I volunteered to take any broken DSes and fix them. I have 2 that I'm having trouble with, they both won't turn on. The first one is a New 2DS XL. The owner said it was working fine until one day the battery ran out, and after they fully...

    DS Phat D-pad clicking too much

    That was my best guess, I doubt it's the motherboard. I'll get to work on swapping the shells later tonight and let you know what the results are. Thank you for the input!! 1779596834 Looks like swapping the shell fixed it, it feels much better now. Thanks so much!

    DS Phat D-pad clicking too much

    Hello, my friend sent me his DS Phat to repair, it has a strange issue where the d pad is "clicking" too much, if you press the center in, it will click. It will also click easily by pressing in one direction and tilting up or down (video attached as an example). This is a pretty specific issue...

    Swapped DS Motherboard, screen flashes when closed

    As of right now, it's working fine. This may be an inconsistent issue, or it just fixed itself. Works for me :p

    Swapped DS Motherboard, screen flashes when closed

    Hey guys, Mr. DS Problems is back at it again. I decided to replace the motherboard in my DS phat after the charger port on the old one was just too far gone. Everything is working fine now, except when I close the DS, the screens flash instead of turning off. I assume it's a motherboard problem...

    Hacking Hardware DS Solder Pad gone, should I give up on this board?

    @Nephiel @catlover007 Soooo, I'm back. I went on a trip with my DS and when I came back, the charger port was having problems again. Now both of the ground connections are removed, which is incredible. I tried the same thing with the magnet wire, I was able to make a connection to the ground on...

    ROM Hack Pokemon Shuffle Preservation Mod v1.1

    At the risk of sounding dumb, where do I put my save data after installing the patched CIA? I read through the replies and couldn't find anything.

    Hacking Hardware DS Solder Pad gone, should I give up on this board?

    Oh my gosh, it works!!!! I managed to easily get a wire from EM10 to the voltage pin on the port, it lights up and charges now! Thanks so much for the help, here's to hoping this will last and I won't need to mess with it again for a while XD

    Hacking Hardware DS Solder Pad gone, should I give up on this board?

    @Nephiel @catlover007 I tried it again with a new port, soldering the wire from the voltage pin on the port to the first pin on the filter (see pictures), I plugged in my charger and still no orange light. Anything else I should try before giving this up?

    Hacking PS2 Created Simple Volume on FHDB Drive, is it too late?

    Hey guys, sorry I never came back to this, but yup I learned that I had to just re-format it and re-download all of my games. It was an annoying process but I'm glad I got it done. I also discovered that it's much better to use HDL Batch Installer instead of WinHIIP, and should cause less...

    Hacking Hardware DS Solder Pad gone, should I give up on this board?

    I'll try this, unfortunately I messed up the pad on the charger port I was using (they're so tiny and hard to work with). I ordered another one, and I'm gonna replace my soldering tip and try again. At this point I'm very used to these projects taking a while :p

    Hacking Hardware DS Solder Pad gone, should I give up on this board?

    Got it, I'll connect it directly to the filter. Thank you! 1770488393 @catlover007 I think I got the wire soldered correctly, I'm attaching a couple pictures of what I have. I tried plugging it in and didn't get a light. Do you think something needs to be changed, or should I just swap boards now?

    Hacking Hardware DS Solder Pad gone, should I give up on this board?

    @catlover007 Hello, I got the flux and magnet wire today. Before I work on anything, I just wanna confirm what I'll be doing. I'm going to connect the V-in to the voltage point on the USB charging port (see pictures) The magnet wire I got is a tiny bit more than 0.2mm wide, which I think should...

    Hacking Hardware DS Solder Pad gone, should I give up on this board?

    Thank you for the info! I will fully admit, I am not great at soldering (although I'm definitely able to do it and am a lot less disaster-prone than when I first started). Can you give a recommendation for the magnet wire? Also, I'm not sure exactly where the pad goes in contact to the EM...

    Hacking Hardware DS Solder Pad gone, should I give up on this board?

    Hello, I'm back again with another hardware modding issue. I've had a USB-C charging port mod for my DS Phat (original DS) for several years now. A few months ago, it stopped working and I had to replace it. A couple days ago, when I plugged it in, it didn't charge, and instead made a loud...

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew Project DS Lite Bricked after trying to install the TV Out mod

    I used an LCD TV and it works perfectly. Unfortunate that it doesn't work on a CRT, maybe I can look into getting a new board. Regardless, it finally works now. Again, thank you so much for all of your help!

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew Project DS Lite Bricked after trying to install the TV Out mod

    I have good news and bad news. The good news is, I was able get the short to work after soldering the SL1. I was able to patch flashme, and then continue with the firmware patch. I was able to get it all done with no problems. After that, I hooked up the TV out hardware (I'm using the Rhotronix...
