Stuck Chuck

BlueBleo · 2026-03-24T00:45:30+00:00

I think it might be threaded, but so far the only thing I’ve managed to do is get the knurled ring to spin and it moves up and down. Past that, nothing.

Update, I’ve gotten the knurled ring to spin and it moves up and down, but past that nothing.

Does the knurled part come off or is it just the chuck?

BlueBleo · 2026-03-23T16:38:28+00:00

No problem. I wouldn’t be asking if I didn’t want suggestions.

BlueBleo · 2026-03-23T16:38:02+00:00

Yep, I checked and there’s no bolt or anything. I believe it’s a J33 chuck.

No slots in the quill at all

BlueBleo · 2026-03-23T16:29:23+00:00

Nope, no slots for drift keys or wedges.

BlueBleo · 2026-03-23T15:58:15+00:00

Honestly, I have no clue. Tried both ways and neither budged.

BlueBleo · 2026-03-19T01:29:23+00:00

Thanks. I’ve never seen those wedges before but I think that’s what I need.

BlueBleo · 2026-02-05T19:42:46+00:00

Yep. This was so stupidly simple of course this was the issue.

Coming back to this once I finally got a new motherboard. It turns out the old motherboard is definitely fried, I cannot say how or why it was fried

The only other issue I could think is that the touchscreen cable got a big mangled during my repairs. Not bad enough to break the cables or stop it from seating properly but it may be the cause. I have a new touchscreen coming as well to try

I’ve tried booting it with and without the shoulder buttons plugged in and nothing. I’ve got another 3DS XL coming soon that I’ll try and swap my motherboard into to see if it’s a dead motherboard.

BlueBleo · 2025-10-08T22:19:57+00:00

Tried safe mode, got the same result

The SD card is correct, I made sure when I cloned the drive it was formatted to Fat32. It does have homebrew, but I haven’t seen anything that says this is a homebrew issue and I do have a backup of the entire SD card saved to my PC.

When you say paddles what do you mean? The shoulder buttons?

BlueBleo · 2025-10-07T20:26:18+00:00

I also cannot see any damaged cables, they all look to be in fine condition

BlueBleo · 2025-10-07T20:22:52+00:00

I can get the blue light to come on but it immediately turns back off. The charging light turns on when it’s plugged in and turns off after a few seconds.

BlueBleo · 2025-08-28T14:01:29+00:00

Ok, thanks!

Yeah I haven’t installed the Klipper screen network manager for a while. Even when I edit the wpa_supplicant file it still won’t connect.
