I have a 2ds xl I got used from a friend, and I've installed B9S and luma3ds on it. It's been working for awhile, except for one time when I dropped it. The charging light hasn't worked since, but it still charged and worked fine etc. Just no orange light. Recently I closed it for a bit to get something. When I got back I pulled it out of my pocket to play, and it wouldn't turn on! After some experimenting with my old 2ds backup, I have concluded that it's locked in sleep mode. Here's what happens when I start it:

If only pressing power, just a blue light and blank screens

If holding start on power on, GM9 loads but no video on top screen. I also noticed some flickering on the bottom screen. Everything seems to work, but booting the FIRM file manually doesn't work either. Any idea how to fix it?

UPDATE: I noticed a rectangle on the top screen, and realized it looked like a cracked LCD, but there were no cracks. I believe it is simply due to a disconnected ribbon cable. I will order a screwdriver and fix the issue.
