something could be shorting when you put the screen in the shell, a common place for that is the cart slot pins

#

electrical tape degrades and gets all sticky inside your console, we usually recommend Kepton tape

#

and trimming the cart slot pins that face the back of the screen/screen PCB

#

these (be careful cause they fly off when you cut them)

#

you don't remove anything, you just cut the excess in those pins, then you put some Kepton tape over them like this

#

you don't remove the pins completely is what I mean, just the excess, and it's not harmful, the pro modders do it all the time here to avoid shorts

there was a video about it, I'm trying to find it but haven't yet

Think of it as giving the pins a little haircut

#

also check if your board is sitting right in the shell, if no wires are being pinched, stuff like that

I will literally Venmo you the $8 if you cannot afford this.

#

you can try it out with no tape, see if it still doesn't work assembled
then get the Kepton tape later if it works without it

You can also ease up on the screws a tiny bit—get them tight but maybe not suuuper tight

yeah

How do you think we know how to troubleshoot this? lol

#

shruge if it works outside of the shell then there's something wrong with the way you assembled it, maybe a short, maybe something else, we're just trying to rule out problems

#

ok, then I think it's best to wait for someone else to give their opinion as well

that's with the motherboard screws?
