Hardware 3ds top-left corner constantly pressed?

[Shirogane86x]

Hi guys, I'm having my problem with my old o3ds. A few months ago i replaced the touch screen completely (because only half of it was working) with a (kinda cheap) one i got from aliexpress. It worked wonderfully for a few months, but now I have this problem where the top left corner of the screen is constantly pressed, and because of that i can't really use the touch screen (even navigating the main 3ds menu is a pain, since the d-pad doesn't work when the touch screen is being pressed). I don't think it's the touch screen, since it's fairly new and when I can actually get it to work (for like a fraction of a second) it actually registers inputs perfectly. I've tried cleaning the edges with a toothbrush, but it didn't seem to work. Is that even the problem? should I open it and try to clean the edges from there, or is there something wrong with touch screen / digitizer? I can't really afford to buy another one right now, sadly :/ . Thank you in advance

I had the same problem. It was the analogue stick getting stuck. I couldn't be bothered to fix it so just ended up buying a new console. Was pointless opening it up just to replace the touch panel clean it all up and what not. Hope you fix yours though.
