Hello guys,
I bought an original 3ds from eBay and upon arrival noticed right away a problem with the lower screen.
It flickers with vertical stripes and it gets worse as the brightness gets lower, up until the stage you can't see pretty much anything.
It only doesn't happen if the AC adaptor is connected at level 5 brightness and power saving off.
Already swapped battery, it's non related, plus it's also noticible that the colors seem washed out, like with a different hue to them.
The console is in pretty good shape overall, no apparent drops over it's lifetime, any suggestion? I would swap screens but I'm afraid it's something like power management, capacitor, fuse or something like that.
Uploaded a YouTube video for demonstration.

Thanks in advance.
