Homebrew Right on Dpad shuts down system

[GavinTheGrate]

Hello everybody! I am having issues with Dpad Right. When clicked to hard, my entire system shuts down, and depending on the press it can go offline for hours at a time (offline, as in won't turn on). A just-hard-enough click will just shut it down and I can turn it back on immediately.

I suspect a impact to a power wire may be this cause. I's there any way to stop this from happening?

Thank You,
Gavin

Stop using the d-pad, or it'll permanently hard brick the motherboard. Depending if your model 3DS/2DS has it, look into replacing the d-pad daughterboard.

Oh! That was quick!

Thank you very much

Have a great day!

Okay, before you decide to disassemble that o3DS, backup all your game saves + extdata with Checkpoint and/or JKSM, and all your games, dlcs, and updates as CIAs with GodMode9.

The o3DS d-pad is part of the motherboard and is not on separate board... Look into cleaning the d-pad rocker piece, rubber pad, and contact area with toothbrush and 91% rubbing alcohol. Use low heat, low fan blow dryer. You may need to check and realign the golden push contact patches if they've shifted.

Edit - The contact patches can be other colors than gold.
