Hello my dear iFixit friends.
I got a 3DS XL that when opened all the way turns off. I Tried to secure the top screen with electric tape to that the ribbon won't wiggle but it didn't Work. I would order a replacement top screen but I am afraid it maybe the connector is what's faulty.
So If I put that rubber ring there It works fine. No reason still I will continue to investigate.
Is this a good question?

My friend is sending me 2 faulty 3ds’s he has, and if i can repair them, i get to keep them. The 3ds xl one has the issue you’re describing and from what i can tell, it’s a issue with the ribbon cable https://youtu.be/8UifkXEkV-0 see this video for details.

Thank you for the response! I gave the 3ds back and told them to get a 2ds, people only want quick and cheap solutions. Still I hope you fix it!

Good luck did you try to replace the top screen? Aliexpress has seller who sell dirt cheap ds/3ds/n3ds screens!
