Hi guys! I made the silly mistake of buying a broken N3ds XL on eBay thinking I could fix it. Here is what I’ve discovered: all the cables are good and correctly hooked up inside. Pushing the power button makes the blue light turn on and then off. I never get any boot, nothing shows not he screen, and there is no noise or popping from the speakers. I took it apart and checked all the cables, took out the micro SD card and put it back in, etc. I cannot figure this out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have the exact same problem. Everything was fine. I opened mine to check mic cable and now my n3dsxl wont start.
Yup, had that too. But because I was into modding at that time, I thought what the !&&*, I’ll just put my 32gb a9lh card in there. BOOM! It booted, but said I had a corrupted ctrnand. Go on 3ds.guide, follow all the steps but don’t do anything on the 3ds, just put the files that are needed on the ds. Contact me if that works, I can help you unbrick the 3ds
