Hardware Snapped in half 3DS. Fixable?

[P_H_I]

First off lovely father, send him my regards and a basket of roses. Honestly some people...

But yeah, you are most likely going to want to watch some videos on connecting ribbon cables. As someone who has repaired a DS lite, let me assure you it is very annoying. However, if you can slot that sheeeet in, then congrats you fixed a 3DS.

Back to the father though, please tell me this doesn't regularly occur?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I typed up a joke about sticky hands here, but it wasn't really PG-13, so I will say wash your 3DS.
Also your Dad gave it a pretty clean snap, be just a tad bit happy it didn't, say, burst either hinge or smash in a screen.

Your 3DS turning on then shutting off is due to when the ribbon cable is loose (or, in this case, not connected), the 3DS powers down in order to prevent electrical shortages, fires, explosions, etc. Fixing the top screen should also fix the power. If you "connected" the ribbon cable, but it won't turn on, you know you dun-goofed and the cables are loose. Hope this helps.

tbh, get you're dad to buy you a new one.

My dad is a moody cunt lmao he won't he was yelling at me for trying to fix it at 10 PM which is apparently "late" for a grade 9 student .-. Even though I stay in my room at night as long as possible without falling asleep, which shows the kind of person he is. I may get a job soon though and if I do, I may buy a 3DS.

Trust me, unless you're the nocturne kind of person trying to fix a modern console way late hours will make you to forget to connect something or mounting the console wrong.
If I'm fixing anything and it gets past 11PM I'll just leave it alone until the next day (I'm kinda useless after 10PM to mind and handwork, and I am 31 years old =X ).

I suggest picking up a jeweler's kit, you find them for like 5$ at most stores. Be really careful with those screws as well, they are extremely easy to damage.

Your home sounds more broken than your 3ds. Seriously though. I hope he doesn't beat you. If he's abusive, please find the guts to report it.

Eh he wasn't too abusive in the past, he'd get a tiny bit physical like an year ago but he sort of stopped and if he ever came back to that it wouldn't hurt as much anymore I'm sure. Once, he broke our Xbox 360 because my stupid brother wouldn't stop yelling so I sort of maybe hit him a tiny bit. Either that or said something mean, and then my dad came and took our xbox smashed it against the ground and I got super upset, cried a bit, he pinned me against a wall holding me by my neck up on the wall and asked if I thought games were more important than family. Honestly yes, people online can't physically hurt you at the least.

^ If this is all true, it's horrible and makes me sad. If he ever starts that shit again, please report it to the authorities. It doesn't have to be direct physical abuse. If his default way of "discipline" is breaking stuff and intimidation, it's also abuse. I know you are still young yet and may feel helpless, but please, realize now that this IS ABSOLUTELY NOT normal to control your children solely through intimidation and threat of physical violence. I wish i could just hug you and let you know not every adult is a mean piece of shit to children. (no homo and no pedo)

Take care. And if you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to pm me. Open invitation to anyone that needs a friendly ear honestly.

this all is a bit unrelated but kudos for putting yourself out there as someone to talk to

 

[V0ltr0n]

Well, it was part of his initial story of how it got broken....and also, the part i can offer help with. I cant offer help with the 3ds repair tho.

Report it? I had an online gf whose brother and dad were abusive as shit and her brother almost broke her jaw. I warned her to call the police or I'll do it. She didn't. I have a gf now that gets severely bullied at school, by the boys, of course. She ended up in the hospital from passing out after she left school because one of or a few of the boys cut her with a knife in Science I think somehow, and the teachers didn't believe her or do anything and I think may have said she did it because she cut herself once in class.. so .. I'm okay, I guess. My dad hasn't hit me for like an year or so, I think. Doubt he will ever again, but I was scared he would less than a month ago because my mom was trying to hit me in the car because I yelled at her because she was threatening to take my internet/electronics away which would ruin my relationships and friendships and really everything honestly, and I got pissed and yelled for her to stop trying to ruin my life, stay out of my stuff, and leave me alone, so of course, she tried hitting me, I blocked it, and she claimed I "hit her back" somehow. I thought she was going to tell my dad and I was fearful he'd hit me again, but not too much. Thanks a lot, though. There's a lot of abusive parents out there who shouldn't exist tho

And you tell me, if I'm ever gonna be a parent I'm damn well not gonna lay my hand on my kids or their stuff like that. And I'm okay, I guess. He's still really moody sometimes and that's like the only thing I despise about him; his attitude. And most are from what I see And again, thanks.

Dont need this family stuff

When you say you can't unscrew it, do you mean you need a tri-wing screwdriver or is your screwdriver too thick to reach some screws

sorry for late post

"my dad threw it at a wall and it snapped in half"
I couldn't say why, but there is what seems to be a very irregular amount of "my parents are terrible" stories I've come across on this site. Surely parents mistreating their children is not the norm, or so I'd like to believe.

eh my freind lost a gbasp101 to his mom sucking at mario3...



poor kid was downgraded to an og gba...
