I have this same problem, it has happened to me twice with two different systems. Both were the black and blue 2ds, when I turn them on, it simply shows a pitch black screen with glowing white cracks running through it.

James, the same thing happened with my 2Ds. It fell off my top bunk. I must have banged it off in my sleep, and the screen was on a metal bar in my room. I turned it on, and it was black, with cracked glass in the inside, with glowing white lines.

Hi it sounds like you have a broken LCD screen. The 2ds actually uses just one screen for both of the screens shown. You can purchase a replaced screen and fix the 2ds fairly easily and by following a guide here on ifixit. Nintendo 2DS Screen Replacement

How much technical skill do you need to do this and how risky is it for someone who is quite inexperienced with technology???

I did it and I barely had any idea what I was doing.

The same has happened to me. It is because the LCD screen has been cracked causing it to leak. The easiest way to fix it is just to send it into a repair shop.

The reason why this is happening is because you need to buy a new LCD screen for your 2DS because the on you have broke.

I did this too it was on my bed and got crushed, all you have to do is buy a new one and replace it or bring it to a repair shop. If none of those are okay with you then just buy a new one.

I just had this problem too, it happened right after I completed the first Mine Cart minigame of the remake of Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga. The fact that the cracks don’t appear when the 2ds is off makes me think either the cracks are inside the glass, or in the software.

I do not Know how to fix it but the reason that this happened is pressure on the screen. As an example if you put it in a full backpack there will be pressure on the screen.

I don’t know how to fix it but it is caused by pressure on the screen. As an Example, if you put it in a full backpack there will be pressure on the screen.

The same exact thing happened to me except that, for some reason, I can still access each app in the 3DS.
