Hardware O3DS Broken? (Need help!)

[ViolentRockstar]

Hey Guys,

(Not so) Recently my O3ds stopped working after drilling off a screwhead attached to the PCB. I don't know what went wrong, but ever since that happened, I am unable to use my o3ds properly. After about 5-10 seconds the device just crashes, or whenever I try to open an app. Booting the device takes like a minute, just like turning it off. I can't force-update the device because Wifi doesn't work for some odd reason. At this point I'm starting to think that it has something to do with the hardware. Menuhax and Browserhax are on the device but whenever I pop out the SD-Card the same things happen. It would be great if some of you would look at this.

Thanks in advance!
David.

Also: Someone told me that you guys are usually good at this stuff, thats why I'm posting it here aswell

did you properly clean the motherboard after drilling of the screw? Little metal pieces that belonged to the screw might have scattered all over it, and cause shorts on the board. Other than that, check the surrounding area for damage, and if posible, take a picture and upload it.
