Hello,

I was opening and closing my 3DS really quickly like a child and suddenly the top screen went black. Also, I can't open the 3DS completely otherwise it will turn itself off and make a popping noise.
There are also some blurry lines on the bottom screen.

Is there anything I can do to fix it myself? What should I do?

damage to the ribbon cables inside the hinge? if youre confident start disassembly

Disassembled. I can see a tiny split that is white in colour on one of the cables. Should I buy a new screen? Do they come with new ribbon cables?

Can anyone explain why the bottom screen had lines going down through it when this happened? Is the bottom screen broken or is it because of the top screen?

I've seen where if the 3ds does not turn on properly, the bottom screen freaks out and displays random garbage. Fix the top screen ribbon and worry about the bottom later

    @Sicklyboy I happened to have ubisoft app already installed, so I just logged in and got the game and played with @Skv0ra
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But it could drink and smoke in the homeland of Ubisoft, that counts.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @realtimesave, uuugggghhhhhhh sounds like multiplayer doesn't work on Linux
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Because of the anticheat
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    That's been a constant issue on linux
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yep :/
  • Veho @ Veho:
    They know Linux users are filthy cheaters.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Shouldn't be, because these anti cheat suites pretty much all natively support linux if I'm not mistaken, and it's down to a literal checkbox that they're not ticking.
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    Would you really install a kernel level anticheat program if it existed though? I sure wouldn't.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And yet, here we are

    @Sicklyboy oh yea that anti cheat stuff doesn't like certain things :|
  • ZucchiniMaiden @ ZucchiniMaiden:
    I was sick for a week, thought I had kicked it and then it came back a few days later and I feel worse. What the hell.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    covid?
  • ZucchiniMaiden @ ZucchiniMaiden:
    I'm not sure, I don't think I've ever had covid. The symptoms don't seem to line up that well.
  • ZucchiniMaiden @ ZucchiniMaiden:
    I'm also dealing with toothache from a cavity so that sucks.
