Screen is deepfried?

[smoky totem]

Hello, recently i fount my 3ds in my closet the charging port was completely broken and id have to assume it had been out of use for 6-10 years now whilst the battery was fully dead. So what i did was order a charging port and solder the new one on i then left it on charge for around 15 minutes before opening it and seeing it all deep fried on the bottom. I re checked the ribbon cables that i disconnected both were fine from my limited knowledge and I saw some scratches on the battery but i dont think it could be the battery. Ill fully charge the battery and see if it changes but if it doesnt does anybody have any ideas on what could needed to be replaced or likewise?

Check the digitizer ribbon cables even if you never touched them. Maybe your 3ds had some sort of fall during the time it wasn't in use, causing that ribbon cable to come loose

Ill have do it tomorrow but thank you for the advice ill take the actual motherboard off and check those connections it didnt occur to me one of those might be loose

however if that doesnt work would you recommend replacing the screen or something like the batteru

Im having a similar issue with mine, It looks normal but the too screen is super saturated. I believe its probably an issue with the video ribbon cables.

yeah im gonna double check all connections tomorrow and ill let you know if it fixed anything. keep me updated on yours if youd like and ill see if i can get a similar fix if you end up fixing it

You'd only need to replace the digitizer but you could just do the entire screen if the replacement comes with the LCD too

Checked the cables and no luck unfortunately

Ive ordered a digitizer off aliexpress im hoping it works as it is where i got my charging port

So it should come by this time next week and ill see if it fixes the problem

So i just finished replacin the digitizer

but no luck

the screen still looks how it did

any other ideas?

imgoin to assume its not the connections of the cables then as ive just reconnected every cable

it might be the actual cable still but id heavily doubt it but im no expert so if i could get your opinion on it

howeveri do think ive somehow put the digitizer on wrong as the touchscreen now does not work

but

im really not sure

after looking around people are saying a whole new bottom screen might work

but i really dont want to fork out anymore money on this unless it is a guarantee

like it was a fun revival project but it is not worth that much to me

ill see how much it will be though
