Nintendo DSi: Nintendo not powering on after replacing top screen

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 16:28:35 -0700

I followed a guide to replace my broken topscreen on my Nintendo DSI but now it wont power on again. It worked fine before but the topscreen was broken.

After i replaced the screen and was about to put everything back together i noticed a connector wasnt on the board like on the guide i watched

I tried turning on my ds but it wouldnt power on and when charging it just showed a orange blinking light.

I've tried reseating the battery but that didnt work. Then i looked up people with similar issues and they soldered the connector cables like this and it worked for them

I did the same thing but it still won't turn on for me. When i try to charge my DS it still just blinks on the charging symbol and when i press the power button it shows a blue power led but just for a second. I hope i didnt mess up on the soldering on my ds as seen on the image since its my first time soldering.

Is there anything left for me to try? Idk if replacing the battery makes sense if it worked before replacing the screen

New Nintendo 2DS XL: 3ds will not charge not even the orange light is on

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 12:31:48 -0700

참고:

I'm uncertain about the issue I'm experiencing. It could be related to the AC adapter not functioning properly, a problem with the charging port on the device, or a faulty battery. I need to troubleshoot to determine which component is causing the problem.

Nintendo Entertainment System: Why won't the screen and red light stopping blinking?

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 10:26:00 -0700

Maybe my NES has finally had its last day of life, but I think it can be fixed some how. When I put in a game and start it up, I get a flashing screen and blinking red light. I have taken apart my NES, cleaned it and moved the connectors closer together. It works occasionally now, but I wanted to know if there was anything else I could do to restore it and hopefully make it more functionally?

Update: Bought a new 72-pin connector from ebay. Will get back to you guys with the results.

New Nintendo 2DS XL: Where is the backlight controller/chip on the New 2DS XL (JAP model)

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:33:35 -0700

I've tried 3 different screens on this New 2DS XL I have here, and all 3 even the known working one(s) don't work on it, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the backlight that isn't responding.

I can't find anything online about the backlight controller/chip, so I figured I'd ask here and on Reddit.

Anyone know or can help?

Nintendo Switch 2: Right side joycon port no longer detecting joycons.

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:30:43 -0700

I did a shell swap on my switch 2. It wasn’t difficult and I didn’t poke around more than taking the back plate off and replacing it with the new one. After powering my switch 2 back on, the right joycon port on the console itself doesn’t register either joycon. The left side works completely normally with both joycons. I purchased and replaced the right side connector following the guide on this website. Still no dice. I’ve cleaned the ports on both the joycon and the console. I’ve done everything including a factory wipe of the console to rule out any software issues. I cannot figure out what is causing this.

Nintendo Switch: Switch is days charging but still shows low battery after battery swap

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 23:56:17 -0700

So, a while back I bought a cheap broken v1 Nintendo Switch hoping to fix it myself. The seller said that the issue was that it was put away for a long time and when they picked it up to play it didn't turned on, for me it looked like a tell tale sign of a dead battery

I finally bought a replacement battery and swapped it, at the start it just showed the Nintendo logo and went black but I left it to charge overnight and when I checked it, it showed the low battery icon which I thought it was a good sign. It is as of now 4 days straight charging (more than 100hs) and it is going back and forth between showing nothing unless I try the hold the power button for 20 secs hard reset and showing the low battery icon

When I opened it I saw it has part of a mod chip soldered to the board, I didn't knew about that and the seller didn't tell me either. I was worried it might have some board issue, but I don't fully know. I gets warm so I think it is charging, but still no sign of life

I mostly would like to know if there is some quirk about swapping batteries that I might be doing wrong, I heard that the charging time of a fully drained battery was long, but is it this long? Or if there might be a board issue and it's an unfixable Switch

Sorry for the long text, but I thought context might be needed and it's my first time messing with a Switch (also, English isn't my first language)

Joy-Con: Stripped back panel screw on Joy-Con - rubber band and foil didn't work

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 05:10:48 -0700

I am trying to replace the joystick in my Joy-Con using the iFixit guide, but I am stuck on the very first step. One of the four Tri-point Y00 back panel screws is stripped. I've already tried the rubber band trick and using aluminum foil, but both just puncture because the screw head is so small and sharp/damaged.

What are some other ways to remove such a small, recessed, and stripped Tri-point screw without damaging the plastic shell? I don't want to drill it out if I can avoid it. Any advice from people who have dealt with this specific Joy-Con issue would be appreciated!

Nintendo Switch: Volume up button still not working after repairs

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:06:52 -0700

I've replaced the power button board two different times and every time, the power and volume down buttons would work but the volume up button still isn't working. I think it's some kind of software malfunction or something like that but I also tried factory resetting my switch and that didn't work. This person (Power button not working after replacing power button board) asked a similar question 3 years ago and never got an answer so I think this problem is a lost cause.

Nintendo Switch: Volume up Button not working

I'm trying to repair a Nintendo Switch where the volume up (+) button is not responding. Volume down (-) and Power are working fine.

I allready replaced the flex cable.

Same behaviour. Vol + not working, Vol - and Power are working.

Any idea, what could cause this problem?

New Nintendo 2DS XL: Why isn’t my system not turning on properly?

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 12:44:13 -0700

I found my 2DS XL from a while back. A few years ago, I tried modding it and ever since, it just won’t boot properly. When I press the power button, the blue light turns on, and stays on until I turn it off. The screens don’t show anything and there’s no sound coming from the speakers. I’ve tried booting into recovery mode but that hasn’t work. Is there any fix or diagnosis?

When I was little I lost my 3Ds charger, I used a copper charging cable and connected it with the charging port outside contacts. The orange light turned on for a bit and then went completely dead. Now it won’t charge or turn on, the battery still works. Would changing the power module fix this? Or is it over for it?

Nintendo 3DS: Stripped screws in the bottom shell

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 21:48:56 -0700

I bought a second-handed 3DS along with a couple of physical games for only $50, and I was very happy about this buy until I found out the screws in the bottom shell were all stripped.

The console turns on and before the home menu pops up, it suddenly turns off with a "pop". It is likely a broken ribbon cable, which should be a relatively easy fix, but I can't even open the console because of the screws. I tried using hot glue, a small rubber band and none of that seem to work.

I truly don't know how to proceed. I don't wanna end up damaging the motherboard or any other component.
