Can Anyone Identify This Ribbon Cable?

I took apart my New 2DS XL last night, and I'm having some issues reassembling it. There are about 7 ribbon cables to reconnect, but there is one of them where every time I reconnect it, the console won't turn on. If I unplug it, it boots up fine. So can anyone identify this ribbon cable or maybe why its doing this? Maybe its not being plugged in all the way? idk.. This is a picture with the ribbon cable disconnected and its connector right above it.

Hi!

I think it's the camera ribbon, but I'm not sure. Try using the cameras whit the ribbon unplugged and see what happens (spoiler alert: if it has anything to do with the cameras and you leave it unplugged, opening the camera app will return an error).

I think you were right about that. But I disassembled the system again, and now it won't turn on at all, no matter what... I don't understand how I could have done anything to make it completely stop working unless I am missing something. Does everything have to be plugged in for it to power on or something?

In theory yes, but you can skip on some things like the camera or the wireless antennae or the mic... don't be annoyed by this, disassemble everything again. connect all the ribbon cables, but don't use any screws. just make sure everything is on it's place.
