My Nintendo 3DS XL fell on the floor about 10 years ago, which caused a piece to break off. Back then, it still turned on normally after the fall and I was able to use it. Now, when I try to turn it on, it immediately shuts off again with a popping sound. How can I repair it?

I could be wrong about this but I'm pretty sure the blue light and then popping is a result of the console not detecting a specific part, like one of the screens for example
