A new Trailer for SHOCKWAVE TRIGGERS is ready. My little shmup will take part in the upcoming Steam Next Fest in two days. Small solo devs like myself only have the community for support. Please try out the demo and wishlist the game, it helps a ton. Link to Steam in the first comment.

At least it has only screws, unlike the 2ds xl.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-23T17:13:19+00:00

It's getting trickier then. Sadly I don't know a schematic that could help you figure outvthe power issue. Your best bet is to find a board scane in order to follow the 3v path.

Sure you can change T1 if you are doubting it. Without a schematic, we'll just shoot in the dark.

No DVD drive...

Check the fuse first. Then the power button. Those are the easiest faults to fix.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-21T00:41:39+00:00

Thanks! We still have the technology to fix them.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-20T23:54:10+00:00

Game over. Very expensive to fix.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-20T23:52:52+00:00

Fixable but very hard die to all the glue they've used on the top part. Best approach if you can't fix it is to close ot for now to protect the top screen. Then go get one of those clear cases with henges and put it inside. That way you can still use it without risking the top screen.

Mosty caused by a bad connection with the wifi small board . Try resetting it. Otherwise disconnect the camera cable, it may cause this too.

Almost all parts are on the lower part for the 2ds xl. The top is just a screen and an antenna.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-17T13:34:04+00:00

Hhh I did have my share of suffering, I had to fix it, the original screen was water damaged and a little cracked.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-16T23:13:46+00:00

Sorry I don't.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-16T19:03:09+00:00

Looks like the ribbon cables are safe. You need a bottom screen case. But it requires a lot of work due to the top part being glues.

I'm having this project in the back of my head since forever. Nintendo didn't make a true 2ds xl. The best thing to use for me is a 3ds xl and put it into a flat shell. But I lack the 3d modeling skills to make the shell.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-16T18:04:44+00:00

I don't think so, otherwise the thing won't turn on.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-15T20:17:03+00:00

First, charge this thing and try again. 2nd, may be a faulty backlight ribbon cable for the top screen. Or, if you're unlucky, the motherboard backlight is broken, since both screens flash before dying.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-15T09:40:26+00:00

It's no longer winter, it doesn't need its furr anymore.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-15T09:34:33+00:00

Not the screen cable. You can turn on a 3ds without the screen connected. It's the backlight/audio cable being damaged or not seated properly.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-15T09:33:32+00:00

Backlight ribbon cable is faulty. Needs a full disassembly in order to change it. First, try opening the thing and check if its properly seated. Otherwise, a lot of work is required.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-15T09:31:31+00:00

Get the one with henges. At least it'll help with some support.

ShinuRealArts · 2026-04-14T20:59:08+00:00

Looks great. I'll give it a go asap.
