Its still not turning on after removing the solder connections? one thing might be that your lcd connectors are lose otherwise you've killed it

Did you put you battery back in? 3DS won't turn without battery! And if it switches on (blue indicator light) then almost instantly switches back off again then you should check your ribbon connections, sometimes they look like they're in but aren't and that's caused me issue before

Recconnect all the cables, etc
if it is dead, you should be able to get a new motherboard.

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow

    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/

    I was near the test market for the NES and man did it make my 2600 look like ass lol

    The 3DO and Neo Geo where like 700 bucks hmm the PS3 was stupid expensive at launch lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol

    It's not like how it was when we were locked down to a few options and that's it
