Hardware Did I broke my New 3DS XL (Wiring)

[lolboy]

Hi everyone,

While changing the shell of my new 3DS XL I messed up good. I took apart my 3DS motherbord and after wiring everything back now it wont work properly...

- The issues I am having:
3DS power led goes on and stays on for few seconds before shuting off making click sound.

- When I hold start button and power on the blue led goes on and immeditly shuts off

- Reconnecting all ribbons and flipping thr upper screen ribbon the 3DS went on with image on lower screen but black upper screen. I could see the screen “light” but no image.

- Checked all ribbons again and flipped back the screen upper screen ribbon but it did not help

By doing this few times now the 3DS is back to turning off again with none of thr screens showing image.

Anyone can help me with this please? Is it possible I fried something?
Also, where can I find some clear images of the ribbons.

Thank you.

Display ribbon cables (LCD, 3D, speakers) are not connected properly or you tear them.
Make sure that they are in the correct way as way.

By "blue led", do you mean the power LED or the notification LED? Because if you installed CFW on this 3DS (and did not install it to the NAND), then it will not boot unless you have an sd card with boot.firm inserted.

Blue = Power Led. It has CFW. I managed to get it on,but once again the upper screen has no image.

So you probably tear the LCD ribbon. For that you need to buy a whole new LCD.

I don’t hope so. The cable looks ok...

I bet that it's a torn cable (if you checked the connectors).

I tested with spare LCD with no luck, so I do not think it is ribbon issue.
