    Hardware N3DS touchscreen connector replacement (blackscreen) P6?

    It turns out those connectors are available but not easily purchasable in numbers below the 100s (so far). They CAN be replaced but usually don't have to be and I guess it's not recommended without a good bit of soldering experience and a rework station (doubt it works with a soldering iron...

    Hardware New 3ds bricked?

    As I am the new owner of the unit that kingmex had previously tried to fix (and didn't tell the buyer on eBay about it), I would like to ask a mod to erase the file that kingmex has attached to the thirdlast post (counting this one) because the SN can be seen on it and I don't want everyone to...

    I thought about posting that too, but they don't have a teardown of the normal NEW 3DS, only the NEW 3DS XL..althought that might be practically identical, not sure..

    Hardware Want to replace the Circle pad on my New 3ds standard model

    The SD card slot is screwed into the back with three screws (which you probably already noticed) After the screws are loose, bring up the side opposite the slot slightly and pull back slightly, so a little plastic nose jumps up. After that it is only connected to the board with a connector that...

    Hardware N3DS (non-XL) bottom display in europe / parts scarce?

    Hi guys, based on my other thread and my search for a replacement bottom screen for my N3DS (non-XL, european) I wanted to ask if it's just me or are basically all replacement parts for the N3DS very rare or non-existent? I've come across displays for the XL and some other things but...

    Hardware N3DS touchscreen connector replacement (blackscreen) P6?

    Sorry if I sound forward but: Did you read my posts before? I started the thread because I wanted to know weather I can replace it, turns out I can't but I won't have to because it still works.. Then how come my system won't boot when this ribbon cable is inserted correctly? The puncture cut...

    Hardware N3DS touchscreen connector replacement (blackscreen) P6?

    I never said they were the same.. The one in red was broken when I got it and I thought that's why the 3DS wasn't booting, but it turns out that the flex cable is the problem. It may look fine but it's not. When it's plugged in the system will stay in 'blue light but nothing happens' mode. If I...

    Hardware N3DS touchscreen connector replacement (blackscreen) P6?

    I tried that. Didn't boot. Is it normal for the 3DS to not boot at all if there is some data from the touchscreen missing (because of one or two broken strands in the cable) but it's fine with booting without the screen connected? Guess the cable is dead. I can't find any tips on how to repair...

    Hardware N3DS touchscreen connector replacement (blackscreen) P6?

    So I found out that the connector is not the problem (guess where I found out? ;) ) Instead the system won't boot if the lower screen is connected. If I disconnect it the system boots. There is a 'dent' in the flex cable leading to the lower screen, I think that's where the problem lies. Is it...

    Hardware N3DS touchscreen connector replacement (blackscreen) P6?

    Hi guys, hope this is the right forum; couldn't find an answer to my question yet, but don't hesitate to tell me if this has already been answered. I bought a faulty european new 3ds. The previous owner says it fell and hasn't worked since. It does turn on, the LED is blue but there is no video...
