4:35 the LED tab was GLUED to the slot when I tried to remove it trying to do a camera replacement repair. It did not come out easily like the guides. It was hard and glued onto the slot panel. I ended up ripping it off with the tab still stuck. Had to pry out the broken tab with a small flat screwdriver. It wasn't easy. Now I have to replace the speaker cable as well. So many problems just trying to replace the camera.

Apparently nobody had the same problem I had with this video :( After he fed the ribbon cables through the hinge and everything the black one for the camera was at the bottom. But the orange ribbon cable for the screen needs to be at the bottom so it can be plugged in first underneath the board. How did they suddenly change positions? I had to reassemble mine to get them in the right order. Did I miss something or am I seeing things?

The 3ds senses the 2 small, 3D ribbon extensions that plug in from off the speaker flex cable. The only screen attachment that is even remotely required, is the lower screen backlight ribbon connection. You can't completely unplug the upper screen, and it won't cause this problem.

I mean the water exposure can definitely cause some problems but if it was working for a while after that and the power-on pop started happening later it might be unrelated. Usually the problem is associated with the screen or connection to it being bad which could certainly happen due to rusting from water exposure, or a damaged cable like in my case.

Well you have 4 options: 1) Get the tools and parts to fix it. 2) Check if any retro game shops in your area will fix it for you. 3) sell it as "for parts only". 4) display it on a shelf to be seen but not touched

Alright, thank you for replying. My system is a 3ds XL so I'm not sure how similar it is to your original 3ds, but mine still seems to be able to work. I can still turn it on and use it, but it turns off when I move it into a different position than the first. I'd like to keep using it but not in a way that could damage it, so just in the first viewing position. Thank you for your help.

@@enelay1556 I have a 3DS XL as well and the issue seems to be less common (mainly because it is a bit less old) on these but it exists. The disassembly process is roughly the same as a classic 3DS, as they both share the same overall system architecture. The replacement part is not quite the same (the screen is bigger, so the ribbon is longer) and you'll also have to solder the speakers on it. I'll attempt to fix mine tonight. I thought it was a broken screen ribbon so I got a cheap replacement screen from a dead 3DS XL but turns out the screen is cracked. But, I now have 2 speaker ribbons... Wish me luck.

Hi so I have a new 3DS XL I bought since July and so far when I open and close it works completely fine. However, I am now very stressed that this would happen to my 3DS XL even tho I just bend it twice a day (for opening and then closing) I’m worried if I continue on doing that my 3DS XL will say bye bye so please can anyone tell me how to prevent it from happening the second time? Really appreciate if you do. (all this video is absolutely the same mind I was having)

I've been using a 3DS XL since before the launch of the "new" 3DS and have had no issue, I would recommend just taking care when opening/closing it. A lot of these issues pop up when primarily used by children who crank on things a little too hard or repetitively. To be fair, Nintendo definitely stuffed those cables in too tight so it could happen to anyone, but being gentle with it will drastically decrease that risk.
