Can someone help? It wasn't this bad yesterday!

So a week ago, I dropped my 2ds xl, and got this weird purple lighting bolt line across my screen, I tried to ignore untill one day when I opened my 2ds up to see 3 huge blobs of dead pixels! I don't know what to do, I've had this device for a long time, and nothing like this happened before. I'm afraid it's gonna turn my whole screen black! Does anyone have any ideas what I should do?

Pretty much only one thing you can do and that is open the unit and do a visual inspection for obvious damage. Not expert on these units but I highly suspect your screen is damaged and will have to be replaced. FWIW, I would highly like to be shown that I am wrong and the method of correcting the issue. :-)

Hi,

He is right, you need to replace the upper screen. Be careful, as it's not an easy repair and the ribbon cable can be damaged easily.

My pleasure.

You can take a peek here: New Nintendo 2DS XL Top Screen Replacement

Note: This is regarding the New 2DS XL, so it will be a little different for your system (as it's the 2DS XL), but just to show you what you can expect.
