So my o3DS started having some color flickers recently, but I didn't pay much attention to it since I couldn't do much to fix it.
After a while, the flickers stopped but it settled like this (see attachments). Basically, green colour can't be reproduced now.

Anyway this could be fixed? Maybe some flex or something? Or do I have to get a new screen if I want it working again at 100%? I have taken care of the console, it hasn't suffered any falls or anything since I bought it brand new in 2013.

Well I obviously don't know how to mess with the internals, but I wanted to know before going to a local repair shop to make sure they won't tell me I need a new one or something. I do think it is some cable that got loose but I don't know how to check it or fix it...

    Just found out he's doing alright, doing a lot of complaining too, rightfully so. Who wouldn't complain after having a seizure and being hospitalized?
