    I think it is incredibly ironic that you literally just put the 3ds console together, with all it's delicate little part ,
    And then on trying to insert the game cartridge you go "I'm not sure which way this goes in.." hahaha i love it
    Obviously i don't mean it in a bad way, it can always be confusing
    But i just think it's funny 😄

    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....

    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

    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

      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.

    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)

    The random joystick input could also be the c-stick (right hand nub joystick). There's no system calibration for it, but some games have a "Circle pad pro" calibration feature which shows that joystick isolated from the rest. Majora's mask and Resident evil revelations for example. If it's jittery there you know for sure it's that joystick that has an issue. It's supposed to auto-re-calibrate itself when it wakes up from sleep mode btw, so closing the lid, waiting for a second or two, then opening it again can fix it for that play session. IIRC unplugging that joystick does not introduce jittery input, so that's an option for the majority of games that doesn't use it anyway. Great channel btw! :-)

    Pretty sure not having a joystick plugged in results in the system scrolling wildly. The joystick is an analog potentiometer type which outputs half supply for x and y axis' when centered. By not having any joystick plugged in, the voltage is basically floating which tells the console to randomly start scrolling.
