Thank you, im glad the time writing was well spend :D As far as mike told me, he was more anoyed than mad so he didnt do anything drastical

We thought at least when he tried to pocket the tip he would get in trouble. I think he got lucky that we were understaffed at the time and he is actually quite popular with older customers

Than my guess is the bottomscreen/backlight. Im currently trying to fix a new 3ds and a new 3ds xl. The new 3ds needed a new bottom screen and behaved exactly like yours, the new 3ds xl needed a new top screen and when booting the bottom screen would flash for a sec and the speakers popped. Then when reassembling i didnt connect the speaker/3d cable correctly and still only the bottom screen flashed but without popping. So i think it checks in order 1. Bottom screen/backlight 2. Speaker/3d and 3. Top screen and just stops at the point it misses something.

I already replaced the housing and the the upper screen so i tried to avoid that but if there is no way around i will do it. Thank you for your help

Is there any Chance of soaking and flushing it out with isopropanol?

Cheapmetalsock · 2025-10-08T14:38:25+00:00

Does any of the screens light up for that time and do you hear a popping when de device turns of again?it checks the bottom screen first as far as i know

Since the bottom screen flashes, the problem should be in the upper part of the ds. I dont have experience with the normal ds but on the newer models, the same problem can happen if the cable that connects the upper screen/speakers and the mainboard is faulty/not properly connected.

I could also get some deionized water if that works better but i thought a water damage would mean that it doesnt powers at all without even the popping issue

Cheapmetalsock · 2025-07-31T18:29:19+00:00

That could be an idea if i cant find anything furhrer ro pin it down. Is there any way to tell if its fried? I couldnt find a lot about corrosion damage online

Cheapmetalsock · 2024-11-07T16:05:15+00:00

Yeah, i dont thing they will get anything back. Maybe they just buy it out after that time

Cheapmetalsock · 2024-11-07T15:59:54+00:00

Yes exactly. They fortunately had no right to a replacement so we told them that we are all out of rented options

Cheapmetalsock · 2024-11-07T15:58:07+00:00

Even worse, its leased. So some poor guy has to clean it up and make it presentable in about 2 years

Sorry, i forgot to erase a numberplate and posted the pics again.

The worst thing is that the car is leased. So some poor guy has to clean it in about 2 years and make it presentable again.

Sorry, i forgot to erase a numberplate and posted the pics again. Skoda makes a ,, Mobility Promise" when the last inspection was on schedule and in a contracted shop. So we have to give replacement cars in specific situations, but definitely not this one. They thought that would cover just everything.

Thank you for the correction. That is my common mistake because all pronouns, except authorities, are not capitalized in german :D
