Hey guys!

I've got a broken New 3DS XL. Please don't ask me how (I was really brainless at this moment) i placed the battery at the wrong way.
After that, the console doesn't start at all. It only loads the battery. I've tried a different battery, but I think I've fried some hardware.
So my question is, can I somehow rescue the system or which hardware do I have to replace? The mainboard or even other hardware?

Regards

Can you charge it? I don't think it's fried. There's really no way of telling without testing each part, but if it WAS fried, I'd say you'd only need to replace the motherboard.

I had this exact issue. Replace the daughter board that has the Abxy buttons. It was 20 on ebay and fixed my ds.

  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I've seen 50" oleds floating around for $800 but for a main TV oled still doesn't sound that good cause burn ins
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    led have much more heat i suppose if they can cause burn in, or is the fragile parts used to make them on purpose
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Isn't lcd different from led
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Or oled more burn in prone to qled
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    the newer led variation are just much smaller
  • Veho @ Veho:
    LCD is different from LED and OLED.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    LCD/TFT don't emit light on their own, they just filter color they have to have a backlight. LED/OLED panels emit light.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Backlight can be one giant light panel with a diffusor, but recently there's mini/micro LED backlighting, where you can control the light level for smaller areas of the screen, to get better contrast and color range.
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    yeah, lots of lcd panel tech usually have the dead backlight issue making owners think it's completely dead
  • Veho @ Veho:
    And those backlights can get burn-in themselves.
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    i fixed my previous tv twice already, 1st time was power supply defect and 2nd was dead backlight, just ordered some parts after butchering it open
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:

  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    It's just weird that the only way it'll display a picture is through my Nvidia shield menu won't come on at all
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    if your tv lasted you 5 yrs, i'd say it has served it's purpose
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
