There's something wrong with this Nintendo 2DS XL. It powers on (shows the blue power light) but quickly shuts off. In this video I'll be opening up the 2DS XL to see if I can't figure out what is wrong with it. I'm mainly looking for signs of physical damage or disconnected cables.

Probably some ribbon cable is not conected properly because of the fall, if not then its a problem from the battery board, I hope this helps you!
Usually the problem you are having occurs when you drop it and a ribbon cable comes loose (from what ive heard)
good to know
Having the same issue with my 2ds XL. Even though the problem wasn't solved, your video was still worth doing. Where did you locate the music for the video?
I think it’s free music from RUclips’s free library. they have a channel on RUclips.
I had the same problem but I fixed it, the ribbon cable was loose and I put it back in and it worked perfectly
Did you ever fix your 2DS XL? Having the same issue, and been desperately trying to find someone to help repair, but no one even touches them now. 😥😥😥
no I moved on to a Switch years ago
I tested the parts with another N2DSXL but for me it's the top screen that caused the issue. There seems to be a bit of confusion online/forums so I'll try to explain it here. Someone on a forum said that the popping sound, followed by the device turning off is caused by a 5 part checking system. If one of the parts fail it will make the "popping" sound and turn off. The 5 part checking system seems to be false tho, since you don't need any of the cameras to work, you also don't need the Wi-Fi cable (tested that since I accidentally broke the cable). Oh and please do not follow the tutorial on RUclips made by the iFixIt channel, you will BREAK your shells!!!
@@riccardogroen6297 on single ribbon caused this, you have the one for the analog stick, and the problematic one is nearest. I unplugged this MF but the latch is not having a clip. So it gets loose forever after that.
PS: you can replace the screws with the screws from a regular 2ds, that one has regular philips head ( + )
Do you know how to get the adhesive residue off the motherboard and the battery? Theres a really small bit there on where it touched the motherboard and I plan on replacing the battery later and want to get that patch of it off to make it easier to replace later. Any help would be very appreciated, thank you.
There is some advice on the page you get when you search Google for:
2DS XL not turning on (blue light flashes then turns off)
thanks I'll have a look
Thanks man, I’m gonna get a 2ds xl and I’m gonna be prepared to fix it in the future.
hey good luck!
it was scary with all the ribbon and whatnot, but your video made me through the process thanks
so many small parts!
Hey! Do you know much about these consoles? Mine will charge for about 5 seconds (red light) then goes off. Won't turn on. I'm hoping I just need a battery replacement but don't know if this is a symptom of a flat battery. I'm also wondering if you can get away with not removing that thicker back ribbon, just the ones on the sides and opening it up like a book? I don't want to create more damage but figured it's worth a try. Nintendo want £80 to fix whatever is wrong, but I can almost get a new console for that price!
No sorry I don't! This was my first look inside one.
Late to the party, but it’s probably the battery. Just replace it and it should work just fine. Had the same issue.
How did you get the volume button to connect to board? I can never get mine volume slider to connect to the board. Can you please show on video on how to connect it back? Thanks.
probably tweezers
I’m guessing mine had a problem with the battery touching the connector pins, because all I did was take mine apart try to take out the battery and turned it on and it worked 🤷♂️
could be!
Do you have any tips for getting the ribbon cable on the back plate connected to the board? I'm struggling to get it in there with the akward angle.
Try to bend the cable so it naturally fits back in, don't snap it tho. Good luck, by far the hardest part of the whole New 2DS XL teardown lol.
@@riccardogroen6297 Thanks for the reply! I figured out that holding the 2ds open like a book made attaching it a lot easier.
What screwdriver did you see because mine doesn't work?
Hey, loved the video but the link for the nintendo repair kit is broken somehow? It leads to a search on amazon but the kit itself isnt there. Would you mind updating the link please?
fixed! cheers
I really wish he figured out what was wrong with it because I’m having the exact same problem with another DS of mine. Macey and I was just watching this tutorial to figure out how to open it to take the joystick from that one because I’ve basically considered it as spare parts at this point.
What direction is the volume slider supposed to go?? The video is too fast for me to see
Hey im taking apart my 2DS XL and when i was unscrewing the back plate and 2 of the screws wont come out. What should i do?
probably stop
I got a pre owned new nintendo 2ds xl and the screw for the battery casing is stripped. Sucks.
one of the screws head is deteriorated and wont spin with the screwdriver in ANY WAY, how do i take it off?
min 5:25 the fifth one (the one that is above the joystick connector)..
Turn on console while making pressure down to that connector with your finger.
Dude this is exactly what happened to my 2DS XL so I do appreciate you making this video then consider me subscribe to your channel as well dude because I've been trying my best with looking up guides on how to repair this console and everything else
How did you create those red circles over the screws?
an effect in Final Cut Pro X I believe
Question: What kind of screws do I need to take it apart?
take a look in the description. I put some links to tool kits
@@landonbaileytech ok thank you! Take care!
I cannot remove 2 of the screws because the heads have worn out. Is there any way I can remove them?
there are tricks for larger screws. I would have to look it up myself. good luck!
my question is how did you fix it because i have the same problem
I didn't
on single ribbon caused this, you have the one for the analog stick, and the problematic one is nearest. I unplugged that one but the latch is not having a clip. So it gets loose forever after that. How to fix? I used a silicone gun for that single ribbon
Why not try replacing or testing battery??
Hey You prob wont respond but i have this problem with my 2ds xl it charges but it doesnt turn on/ even show blue light its been annoying me for 1 year since i have alot of games on it i would hope you could help i would reallly appreciate it!
sorry I don't know. I was never able to fix mine.
Hi i have a problem with my 2DS Xl. so i accidentally dropped it on a SOFT carpet and now when i want to start it the blue lamp shows up but then there is a pop sound and the blue lamp is out (sorry for my bad english). is there anyway to fix it? (i dont know if the motherboard or the upper or the lower screen got damaged) EDIT: i dropped it while it was closed and charging isnt... workin maybe because i plug it in the red lamp shos up but it stays on it (i dont remember what the charging color was because i dropped it in 2017 so yeah i would be really happy if there is any way to fix it).
Ribbon cable inside came loose
@@Feedbacker17 Where was it loose for you? the one that is there when you open it or the upper screen?
@@Feedbacker17 Please can you tell me which cable? the upper screen cable or the one that is the first when you unscrew it?
@@tomyy_hun178 i accidently broke the upper screen ribbon cable it split, and i accidently ripped the latch off of it aswell (tiny silver cable)
@@Feedbacker17 Oh okay it will be a bit harder to fix but thanks i hope this is the problem for me too.
Hey man, what kind of battery does a 2dsxl take?
Im not sure
CTR-003
I have the right screwsriver, but the screws won't even move. Anyone knows what can I do?
How do you put the ribbons back on you skipped them
I used the tweezers. The just slide back in, then you push down flap with whatever you want to use
i was wondering if you know anywhere i could send my 2ds xl to get fixed
I do not
Hey quick update and thank you @Feedbacker17 me and my dad figured out the issue from this video and it does have something to do with a ribbon cable and the ribbon Cable in particular is the ribbon cable that connects to the joystick turns out the thing was loose and mind you it is extremely hard to tell by just your eyes you need to have at least a pair of magnifying lenses that can strap
Appreciate the help
@@NotKale69 no problem
I'm sorry but it shouldn't be. I tested the device without connecting the ribbon cable form the joystick. I think you might've reconnected the other ribbon cables either by not knowing or while you went to reassemble the device. I tested my device without the joystick, camera's and the wifi cable. (edit) the device turned on succesfully of course.
@@riccardogroen6297 okay but now I'm facing another problem it's known as the black screen of death
@@TheS.R.F386 Im reading about doing a soft reset/factory reset or safe boot. That seems to work for a lot of people.
Hello! same problem here with my kid’s 2DS XL; does anyone know any solution for this? Thank you 🙏🏼
It's most likely the top screen, especially the ribbon cable from the top screen.
My two DS because it only plays two games and I wanna play 3DS games, but it doesn’t let me just gives me a warning
I cannot for the life of me get it to close with the volume slider in the correct spot. Do you have any close up videos of photos of you putting one back on? Its hard to see in this video.
I think I had to use tweezers and luck, it was the worst part!
@@landonbaileytech I got it eventually, but for a while I was considering just never being able to use the volume again. (;
for me those speaker cables are very hard for me and thats why i have a broken connector 3:09
When I plugged mine in it stopped the clicking noice and powered on, think I got lucky tho.
oh cool! glad it worked out
I really need to just know how to replace the lens of the top screen.
One of my screws are stripped, how do I get it out
You’ll probably have to drill them out
Maybe it's something to do with the red and green lights that keep happening :D
we'll never know! 😝
Ur problem it's probably with the screens go in a dark room and see which display quickly flashes and the one that doesn't needs to be replaced
cheers!
Did u manage to fix it
unfortunately no. couldn't see any visible damage
Bad ribbon cable on the top screen
@@ianburke5950 hey thanks. can you tell me which at which point in the video you see it?
@@landonbaileytech you will not be able to see it, I have the same issue and unplugged the top screen tested with another 2ds xl top screen and it came on when I put the bad screen in the known working console it started doing the same popping sound and turning off
@@ianburke5950 ah k, thanks for the tip. I'll have a look again at it
Bought same kit. Screws just stripped
sorry to hear that
Mine has the same issue. :(
I figured out it's the ribbon cable from the top screen that causes mine to do that, I switched it out with another and turned on
Just subscribed Landon! Very cool 😎
From my experience.. that's bad ribbon connection to the motherboard.. in my case i just leave my wifi disconnected from the motherboard and it's alive, of course without any internet feature 😅
> Last game inside was Minecraft 3ds
I see, so you saved it from suicide.
The hardest thing is putting the ribbon back fucccxxx
I KNOW HOW TO FIX IT ONE OF THE PANNELS IS BROKEN REPLACE THE SCREENS
They designed this console to be unrepairable and not diy friendly as a top priority. Y screws that are completely useless (the plastica themsels are super tight) tight fitting with danger of cutting a cord.
Really waste of money such console
Thanks man, I’m gonna get a 2ds xl and I’m gonna be prepared to fix it in the future.
