@sqwerks_3464 sometimes things take a little longer for somebody to look at devices that other are just not used to. Everybody here is a volunteer and spends their free time on here to answer questions.....

@sqwerks_3464 let me see what we can do with this "don’t power on AT ALL and sometime it’ll turn off and make a pop " Where do you hear the "pop"ing from? Do you hear it from the speaker? Any components on your circuit board looks odd? Have you taken it apart yet? What have you checked? This sounds very much like an issue with any of the flex cables. Take it apart using these guides Nintendo 3DS Then take a really close look at all the flex cables. Because of the popping sound I would suspect the speaker flex being torn, but check all off them. It is possible that this is your top screen flex. Torn ribbon cables can sometimes be really hard to see. I think that is all I got unless we see a bit more of what is going on with your 3DS

Post some good pictures of what your 3DS looks like on the inside. That will allow us to see what you see. Adding images to an existing question
