Disassembled my N3ds XL, some black screen issues.

Hello guys! I just disassembled a bricked New 3ds XL that I just bought to change its motherboard. After reassembling it, powered it on and voila! It was working, although the top screen was black. I thought I may have had some ribbon unplugged, so I just started all over.

After reassembling it for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th time, the top screen works flawlessly but the bottom screen doesn't. Im kinda new to this, so I don't really now which exact ribbon is the one that powers the bottom screen, and I don't want to disassemble it many more times to avoid damaging the new board, Could you give me a hand? <3

Hello! I've already read both of them and didnt find an answer there, unfortunately :/

If you could only point out which of the ribbons or wires is the one that gives power to the bottom screen, I could try and solve it !

Strongal, below is a link to a bottom replacement screen showing the ribbon cable and power wire connectors. let me know if it helps.

God, I didnt think of that solution D:

The 3ds is at my gf's house, but now I know which wire I exactly need to check, thank you so much!!

Strongal, Perfect, thanks for replying back, good luck with your 3DS XL.

A last question, I managed to fix the bottom screen display (thank you sooo much!!) but the touch screen is not working.

It should be related to the smaller ribbon from that replacement, right?
