Hardware My brother's 2DS broke

[JellyPerson]

It's using an ancient way to boot cfw (Menuhax 9.2 + Luma RedNand) and yesterday it just stopped working. When I turn it on, after a couple of seconds it makes a popping noise and turns off. The popping noise sounds like the type when you plug headphones in a headphone jack. Can anyone help?

Also sometimes it makes a rattling noise when you shake it

However it still worked when we found out about it. You just had to rattle it enough so that the rattle goes away

If it was a 3ds I would say the ribbon cable to the top screen was torn - but not sure what shorted here.

Did he drop it or anything preceding this?

I am not sure.

You guys think I should open it up later when I get home and post pictures?

My 2DS was doing something very similar. I would press the power button and the power light would come on for about a second then it would go off. I did not get a speaker pop. Charging did not help. Today I decided to try popping out the SD card and turning it on. To my surprise it turned on to the Luma config menu. So I turned the 2DS off and popped the SD card back in. Put the 2DS back on and it's now working like normal.
