Hardware Nintendo 2DS: Screen refuses to power on, blue light comes on then turns off with a faint popping.

Is a repair possible for this? If so, is there anyone I could send it to? It has no warranty, so the big N is out of the question, and i cant find anything on the internet. Have not tried battery replacement yet, but i doubt it's that simple. Can provide more info if needed.

Has it been bumped or dropped? I replaced a broken screen in mine and it took a few tries to get the ribbon cables seated just right for it to turn on. Had me worried I broke it in the process. It's easy enough to take the back off and reseat the connections.

I'm kinda new to this, how do i "reseat the connections?" I've gotten the thing open, just dont exactly know what I'm looking for.

First try removing and connecting the wifi chip back in and see if that fixes things. It just pulls off and snaps back on.

Step 10 is where it shows the 5 connections. Just be careful, dont want to break the lock tabs.

So i've been trying that for a bit, and its still not working. I'm wondering if you know any places/ GBATemp members i could send it to for repairs?
