Hardware Upper screen issue question

[codeluca]

Guys, a guy recently gave me his 3ds for fixing purpose.

This guy broke the two l-r flat cables and the upper screen does not work (it has the backlight but does not display anything).

The l-r issue can be easily fixed buying new cables (very cheap on chinese sites).

What can I do to fix the display? I'm not sure it is broken so I do not want to buy a replace for nothing.

As usual, thank you.

UPDATE: I disassembled the device and I found that the LCD issue was simply related to the flat cable that was not properly connected, so one problem solved. Now I need to order the l-r flat cables and everything should be fine. Could you advice me on a good site to buy these replacement parts?

I don't know of any retailers for italy, my only recommendation would be ebay(link)

Thank you for your answer.

Where do I find a back cover with screws? See the image, it's a mess to keep the device closed without screws :S

Can probably just buy a new shell like this(link)

 

[codeluca]

on eBay.it full cases are too expensive. Probably it's cheaper buying a bricked 3ds .

Anyway, thank you

Oh, most of the full cases I saw were ~ $10usd so it's not *that* bad if you get free shipping.
But yeah, bricked 3ds could work too.

10 usd would be perfect, but 30€ are honestly a lot (~34$).

Look at that: http://www.ebay.it/sch/i.html?_odkw....A0.H0.X3ds+shel.TRS0&_nkw=3ds+shell&_sacat=0 :S

This one should work fine, eh?

Shipping fee costs 20$ so it would cost me ~30$.

I thought to buy only the screws and cover the back with a homemade piece of plastic but look at that price: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Juego-de-Tor...612460?hash=item4aef5088ec:g:fXcAAOSwT6pV204f . 10 dollars for some screws. Come on..!

 

[SkyChotik]

Weird, it said free shipping on the post. I'm sure you'll find something that works, if not something makeshift.

 

[codeluca]

Because you are from USA while I'm from Europe and the browser knows it so for me I have to pay additional 10 dollars :S.

Anyway I'll let you know something, sure I'm not giving up on this, it would be a shame to not use this device just for two broken flat cables and a back cover
