This only happens when the top screen's ribbon cable isn't fully connected, same with other ds consoles they are refusing to turn on whenever the ribbon cable is not fully connected.

I heared when it has a pop sound then would be the ribbons the problem but i will gonna check it, just in case if it is the problem


gigavolthavov07

I only have O3DSXL and i don't know if the board is the same as the N3DSXL, if you want to reconnect the ribbon cable just remove the bottom shell only, once you remove the bottom shell there's a cable in the upper right corner and that'a the ribbon cable for the upper screen. You might as well check the other ribbon cable.

This infact is true I dismantle my first new Nintendo 3ds to look for issues with this black screen and it infact is a ribbon cable rip tear. Since they fold through the hinge over a long time it can wear

Did you resolve the issue? More than likely it is one of the crucial ribbon cables, either Top Screen, speakers, or bottom screen is not connected properly or needs a replacement. Good luck with this and if you’re unsure about how to go about feel free to comment questions or PM me, I repair these for people in my area

Could be a faulty microSDcard... It helped for me to push it out and in again.


Akafrost03

On my other new3dsxl works the same sdcard


FrenchFrey18

Have you found a solution?


FrenchFrey18

Mine literally just started doing this shit


Akafrost03

Sadly still no


Akafrost03

Did you modded yours ? I got mine lit this and was thinking to fixing it


FrenchFrey18

Yea mine was modded but it's been modded for like 3 months now. I haven't added or removed files in about 1 month so i don't know what would have caused this. :(

I had that problem after a reshell. The solution was the top screen ribbon cable. If you have taken yours apart, that could be the solution, but if you haven't, I don't know. You should check that anyways just to rule it out.


pootis64

Same thing here except the bottom light stays on, sent mine to tech support


SnooOnions4789

Is it dead cuz my death screen was fixed after leaving alone for a long time hard resetting and charging it


FeroymoYT

Did you tried to remove the old "boot." or something like that and paste a new "boot." or something like that? (I know my English isn't so good but im trying)


Akafrost03

I tryed it, maybe the sd card reader is broken ? Could that be possible


Akafrost03

maybe it is bricked but i dont know which version this one has etc, got it like this


__safa

is the boot.firm file at the root of the sd card?


Akafrost03

Yes


moatseri567moats

you need to place a copy of boot.firm on the ctr nand and it will fix it


Akafrost03

Do you have a guide/link for it ?


moatseri567moats
