Okay thank you! You all are helping me a lot! Tomorrow Ill place the order for the ribbon cable both the sound and the R/L buttons.

If you have another console at hand I would try swapping the motherboard over (or even just piggybacking the 2 systems to plug the ribbon cable off a known working console into the faulty one) just to make sure there isn't any other underlying issues, but if not, you could buy one of the cables, and test it before you go to all the efforts of installing it

I have a new 3DS of my own so sadly I can't try it but I will gamble if not I'll sell the baby as parts. Ordered the Cables! Will it work without the speakers soldered into the Ribbon cable?

Okay the ribbon cable came and.....it Works!!!! I also got the L and R ribbons I will put ir back together and post a photo tonight with the look of the 3DS. You guys are the best!
