Update: The screen issue was all down to the Joystick. Swapped it out with my black one and there is no problem now! Also - no idea what issue the torn ribbon may be causing.... everything looks fine? Its the LCD screen ribbon cable. I am 90% sure it is a data cable and the backlight cable is the thinner long one with two traces ( + & - probably...). Let me know if you think its worth replacing a broken component causing no damage? Its a £17 replacement....

[@b1squitz551]

Hi, I’d like to repair my old 3DS (the first model), which has been damaged from continuous opening and closing of the screen. When I try to turn it on I have to find the right upper screen opening position or else it’ll shut down with a “crack” sound, same when it’s on and you move the screen. Thing is that the position I’m forced to use is very unnatural and even if I move slightly, the whole game shuts. I already tried to go to my phone repairer with no success. I suppose the problem it’s only a cable to the screen that got damaged; is it possible to repair by myself (judging on how the cables are connected in this video I suppose so, there isn’t anything to weld)? Do I have to look only for the cable I suppose or other things? And finally is it possible to buy only some parts online or do I have to buy a box full of all parts like he did on the video (everything else works perfectly so I wouldn’t need them)? Thanks

[@DragHound]

Can't help u bud, but Let's Hope somebody fixes your problem. Wish you the best!

[@stonedsavage7814]

Loose ribbon cable for the screen so it needs to be put back into its socket properly before being closed back up. Good luck it's not the hardest fix but you Dan still break your 3ds in the process so be careful.

[@cosmevasco1831]

It's so cool how all the parts of a 3DS rely on each other in order to make the system work even though they serve different purposes Nice video!

For anyone interested, I believe the issue with the cursor going crazy on startup is indeed because the joystick is disconnected like Elliot thought, I had the same issue with my OG 3dsXL when I broke the joystick, disconnected it and was waiting for a replacement, as soon as I replaced it, it stopped happening.

[@cesar122111]

my guess is than they opened it to fix the Touch screen and ended up breaking that ribbon cable from the joystick in the process and did not bothered to put it back again, Also is nice to see people coming through and actually shipping the item after a low winning bid, those sells end up being canceled quite frequently also check the placement of the touch screen against the shell since small pressure point from the side can cause that trouble you are having everytime you turn it on

Ironically this is the same style of 3ds that I had to take in for repair last week and I couldn’t find a video to teach me how to fix it. The fates are laughing at me

[@DanielFerreira-ez8qd]

Pretty sure the analog thing happens because the 3ds is trying to see the input of the stick, but since there isn't one, it goes crazy like that. I say this out of experience, from using a pro controller on my wii. If you twisted the analog while the wii was loading, it would set the position it was as the default, aka that position would now be it's 'unpressed' state, the only way to reset it back would be to reconnect the controller. Edit: it probably calms down after a while due to pressing the d-pad, so it starts taking input from there, not sure though.

[@josh3432]

My only question is. How the heck do you break a 3ds that much

[@User0308S]

[@FaridAbbasbayli]

[@TheRetroFuture]

Mx master 1! Good taste!

[@marcellonicodemus]

you can fix a 3ds, but you cant fix the miiverse of it

[@joaquindayrit5746]

For the new 3DS set of systems what makes the cursor scroll are the DPAD, Analog Main stick, C Stick, ZL, ZR. Judging by the way the cursor moved and the sound it made I'd say that it's not ZL nor ZR and since the DPAD works and the main Analog was detached, that leaves you with a likely faulty C-Stick (can be checked in settings under calibration I believe)

If you are still having problems with the cursor at the start. To me it looks like a dpad or joystick pin issue but I am not 100% sure. The reason why I know is cause it happens if you install a controller mod incorrectly.

Hey, the issue your having with the homescreen is the c-stick going crazy (mine was doing it too). You need to buy a new c-stick (not the nub, the actual electronic part) to fix it, since the little contact pad at the bottom can come unglued and the c-stick won't ever work properly again.

DUDE!!! Quite the pickup for only 5 pounds! I wish we got more of the smaller New 3ds in the states, the big one is really awkward

You could try to order a smaller new 3ds from Europe and mod it to play US American games. That's what I did when I bought one while I was in Europe.

@@sslingo I hadn't thought of that. I might be able to get it cheaper that way, I have one but the shell is real beat up
