The power light turns on, but the screen stays black.

When I press the power button the blue light turns on but the Orange one does not, the screen just stays black. This problem occurred last year and I haven't been able to play since. I would be so so so grateful to find out how to fix it.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I’m wondering if the LCD cable is damaged. I just fixed one of these but had to replace the LCD because I crimped the LCD cable unfortunately. Is it both screens or just the top? It happened to the top screen for me, but sounds exactly like the issue I was having.

I'm not sure if the LCD cable is damaged. It happens to both screens.

I should have asked if it had been repaired before. Nintendo recommends these steps, https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com....

Otherwise they say it may need repaired.
