Hello guys, I have a new 3ds xl and when I press the power button the Bluelight turns of for exactly 5 sec then turn of, I just let the power board ribbon cable connect to the main board, I take off all others cables.
I try with another battery to

Most probable cause is linked to the speakers flex cable (either connection or state) especially if you hear a small pop noise before it switches off. Check in this order:
  • Disconnected cable (easy - just reconnect)
  • Corroded contact on the ribbon cable (easy - sand & cleanup with IPA )
  • Corroded contact on the board connector (medium - use toothbrush to clean slowly with IPA, use a pick to clean contact, very carefully)
  • Broken cable, either fully or partially (hard - buy and replace connector, tutorials exist | very hard - remove and micro solder traces before reinstalling)
For the last case, you'll need to disassemble the top screen completely, which is very tricky, and comes with a risk of additional damage. Here is the disassembly guide:

Unfortunately, the speakers flex cable is located beneath the motherboard on the n3DS XL, which will force you to disassemble a lot before testing.... For the old 3DS XL, it was located on top, so you just needed to remove the cover to have access.

By the way, all 3DS are very touchy about not having some components working. Some are not needed, but others are... You don't need the joystick, or the cameras to boot for example. But you'll need the speakers, the top screen (at least partially), the daughter board...

@yaum hey what if the ribbon cables have burns on them ?

Burns means bad news. Could be external to the ribbon (a component on which the ribbon lies got heated up), or internal (an unforeseen surge of current got through the ribbon and burnt the tracks)
I means that if you're going to change the ribbon, there is a high chance that it burns again, unless it was caused by water getting inside the shell,and you dry everything in.

Maybe pictures will help to diagnose.

    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
