Hello,
I bought this New 3DS XL from eBay for quite cheap ( 55 € ) as it was listed as broken. So I decided to buy it and fix it cuz I thought it wouldn't be hard
as I fixed a couple of electronics. But after I received it I opened it and looked at the mainboard and it seems that a couple ZIF-Connectors ( I believe they are ZIFs, correct me if I'm wrong) are damaged. Also some ribbon cables looked damaged and bent too hard. I also noticed after researching around the internet that the WiFi antenna is missing.
As to the listing the seller wrote that he went to a "specialist" and got the upper display replaced but after that it stopped working after.
Well looking at the ribbon cables the "specialist "did a shitty job.
Also before I opened the 3DS I charged it for around 45 minutes and tried to power it on but nothing happened. Only the orange light is glowing but this only happens if the battery is in and the charging cable is plugged in.
I want to get this 3DS fixed and thought of buying an intact motherboard, upper screen and a wifi antenna and replace them.
Would a motherboard replacement work and be feasable?
If you have any suggestions as to what I should with, tell me.
