Hello! Basically I soldered the wires to the proper contacts, booted up my N3DSXL, and all was AOK until I decided to open the device back up to re-arrange the wiring. While doing this, the TINY CLK contact came up, and I was greeted with the Blue Screen brick once I tried booting again.

I used a silver pen and neatly replaced the contact point, however I'm still getting a blue screen. Is there any way I can fix this?

Thank you.

EDIT:

I fixed the problem by exposing the traces and using THIS silver pen to draw in the connection. I then used the alternate CLK point for the hardmod (found in several places on this board). If need be I can upload photos of the silver contact I made.

I'm afraid we would need more info and some photos to assist.
First, I would like to know the system model.
Then, I would like you to write down the bootrom error in its entirety, specially the hex numbers:
Code:
BOOTROM 8046:
    A           B
    C           D

We possibly can't figure anything from there, but try. Then I would like you to make some photos of the soldering points
in the motherboard and in the SD. Make sure they are clear, definite and with the soldering points in the center.

We possibly can check what went wrong there.

Same to me, the line of dat0 disconnected on new3ds(non xl) and blue screen without wires, was very hard join the tiny line again but worked, boot normally.

it wasn't my shty work (maiming the line), but i fixed it lol. man those little traces are a bch to scrape of the copper. I slopped some epoxy to make it strong with a lead protruding for future use.

Did you get a blue screen brick when this happened? Did it go away when you fixed the connection?

EDIT:
GOOD LORD I FIXED IT!!! I thought my 3ds was permanently dead :grog:

Edits will be made to OP in case anyone runs into this issue.

i am having the problem on a 2ds. the clk pad came off and i got to the copper by scraping the plastic off with a x-acto knife

Edit: Nevermind this was supposed to happen because i am hardmodding.:D

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
