I purchased a very cheap $30 3DS off a guy on Ebay because the bottom touch screen was unresponsive and the top screen displayed nothing but a pitch black wallpaper. Being the guy who likes to mess with hardware, I purchased the item and opened it up. I took the whole bottom part of the 3DS out, cleaned out as much dust as I could from the buttons/motherboard, re-attached the parts and viola! The top screen displayed and everything seemed to work great! But the touch screen is still unresponsive because one of the ribbon cables are missing the clip to it to hold it down in place.

Any suggestions?

glue a plastic piece on to act like the clip

I'm guessing I'll have to hot glue it on? That's no problem, but what would you recommend for the plastic?

Thanks! Seems a bit huge tho? Is it smaller than the picture? or will I have to shape it to size?

    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.

    @SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.

    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
