But can the agb firm/ twl firm break ftom dropping? Ds and gba games fail to load now. I'm not sure whether it was me falling on it or upgrading from aureinand 3.3 to luma3ds 5.5. Also, is the B button easy to fix? that's starting to fail too.
It might be an issue with the mother board, the buttons built on to it. How did the screen break just a drop right? Is any of the lower housing compromised? if that is the case maybe but. When the screen is broken the hardware will run broken but shouldn't affect normal usage, such as even using the bottom screen. Are your buttons feeling sticky or more depressed than normal? if so please power down the system until you fix it. If you have opened it up the i suggest tightening the screws of the mother board, it helps a lot with the buttons.

Ah ok. Given your lcd break is on the same side it may just be a pressure issue. If and when you open it play with the screws on the back side of the mobo adding tension helps a lot for that my home button and start and select had this issue even when I bought the system used from game stop ah game stop techs are plebs sometimes. added that tension and they worked and clicked like new. But if your gonna do it all in one shot you will want to play with those screws last.
If you end up replacing the screen i highly recommend getting one of these cases or similar:
My n3ds is spotless and works perfectly fine even after I've dropped it 4 times in this thing.

The n3DS XL is actually very different. The motherboard only takes up half of the bottom half's space and is in an L shape, for example, while the old 3DS/XL's motherboard extends across the whole bottom shell.

Also leave the assembly as whole a possible when tearing it down, keep the smaller parts if attached keep it that way.
I may be wrong but the screen of the old 3ds is the same LCD as the new 3dsxl sorry I have been lurking again.
What? No.
The old 3DS has completely different screens; they aren't even the same size or material.
Even if you meant oXL, nah. Super-Stable 3D isn't a software thing, and plus the ribbon cable is longer to compensate for the different motherboard.

It sounds like you're having a lot of trouble with this. Searching for "New 3ds" parts is difficult because the listings love to use the buzzword "New" on all their items. Look for the tag "n3dsxl" and probably use aliexpress is my suggestion.
You'll need a lot of patience and remember to put your screws in categories when removing them, then not put them in too tight.
It's also really difficult to remove and reconnect the ribbon cables to the screens if you don't know what you're doing. I recommend going to get it repaired if a 40-50$ difference isn't a big deal to you. (I've seen and heard local repair places offering the service as well as the parts for around 80-100$)
If you want to do it yourself, you need to be sure to have the tools ready and patience to put all the ribbon cables back as they also tear very easily (A friend of mine recently tore one of his while playing with the internals.)

so the 3ds turns on and immediately off. This is what happens when arm9loaderhadoes not detect an sd card which is fine,................ but my sd card is set up properly. Im not sure what happened. Could someone send me a vid of arm9loaderhax booting without an sd card for comparison. Otherwis can somebody find out whats wrong? Ill post a video of what happened.

now here's my idea:
usually the LED should fade when turning it on, but mine halts. WTF?
