I've been trying to repair a New 2DS XL on and off for a while now. It will charge (or at least show a charging light) when it's plugged in but does nothing when I try the button. I've tried replacing the battery but the problem persists. I've also separated out the motherboard and washed it in an ultrasonic cleaner with isopropyl and gave it more than enough time to dry.
At this point my biggest guess is that one of the screens is busted and that's why it's not turning on. I've checked the ribbon cables and the parts that attach to the motherboard don't look damaged. From what I understand if one of the cables is broken that could cause this problem. Is there any guides to a step by step troubleshooting to figure out what the problem is? Or is it as much of a pain as disconnecting each part and seeing if it boots?
