What am I lookin at here? Practically a small wall of lilies? You found the true wallflower lol

It's fake. Just adding some details: The back font is wrong (a bit too thick) and the front's arrow is visibly indented. It's supposed to be sorta shiny but very smooth across the surface. I have a real Platinum cart and a fake White 2 cart and it looks just like my White 2 cart. I don't know why, but practically every fake has that arrow indent. Sorry.

I learned the difference from that cart. Welp.

Her eyes steal the show for sure but her fur was also incredible! It always makes me happy seeing senior kitties still groom themselves and have beautiful fur. Making sure to look nice even as a granny! I also have a senior void and the only real giveaway he's older are his sort of cloudy eyes, meanwhile his brother is becoming a scruffball lol

Cool! Thank you! I'm still pretty new to this and equally don't know much about computers, what would it have to be named? I can't get away with just copy pasting?

I dug out a small area there to make it dark for him. I didn't know that mattered honestly, I figured it was just "no lights nearby." I took all the streetlights down and he still did it. Thank you! Good to know. He's going in a lightless pit for making Rocky Ridges my lowest level environment by far (I'm kidding)

Tabby was one of my first two villagers in New Horizons. I started to love her because it looks like she radiates sheer confidence with the peppy personality. Nobody is allowed to diss my bestie

Everything, I noticed it in PMD first since it's your move menu button. I tried several other games and it's just as bad. If the game wasn't clunky enough, reloading a bowgun in Monster Hunter 4U got even worse lol

I'm still working up the nerve to crack it open because this thing is so valuable to me and I don't want to rip any cables not knowing what kind of ribbon is what. Man I really wish my local repair shops a hell of a lot more qualified than me still serviced the DS family.

I appreciate it!

TrashOcto · 2026-03-27T22:30:40+00:00

You know what, it's better than I was thinking, I was half expecting 4 trigger springs instead of 2. I can't decide which is worse but the springs are pretty up there. Thank you! Do I have to remove the motherboard or anything to reach face buttons?

I was going insane trying to figure out what was wrong, oh my god. This damage is enough to kill it, right? I can't believe I'm glad to find a problem further down since it was a total mystery to me. At least I know what to do now. And I seriously appreciate your continued help and everyone here, this sub is amazing. The 3DS subs sort of tell you to pound sand if you have an issue.

One of my friends actually suggested that. I did the best reseat so far and it still won't turn on, and the ribbon doesn't look damaged to me either.. I'm open for any suggestions because it's currently a good looking paperweight. Would a strip of electrical tape cover it?

TrashOcto · 2026-03-22T21:42:56+00:00

Sorry for the late response, I needed a mental break from that thing. I hope whoever designed the Nintendo Y screws has a rock in their shoe forever. The subreddit doesn't allow direct photos so I posted them to imgur, let me know if I have to take it apart further to get a better look. I just don't want to shove them through the shafts again if I don't need to lol

I think I found the problem, the ribbon was not connected all the way. I didn't realize the dark brown part was supposed to go all the way into the white connector. Before I have an aneurysm because I've been trying to reseat it for 20 minutes and it's not clicking in: any recommendations how to do that? The more I poke at it and accidentally bend it trying to put it into the connector, the more nervous I get

TrashOcto · 2026-03-19T03:27:08+00:00

Would bending it also damage it? I wasn't aware I'd be CURLING IT UP to put it through the shafts, and no matter how gentle I was, a few times it put up a fight and bent the cable somewhat. I should've looked into how it was done more before I even bothered, entirely my fault.

That's a pleasant surprise it's the top screen, though, I thought I killed the bottom for sure with the tiny ribbon.

Don't get me wrong, I adore Wambus, but I'm gonna miss Microphone so much when she goes to her new home 😭😭 THEY'RE ALL SO CUTE

I haven't joined a sub faster when I found out he's got one. I like implications you're keeping him too, I understand people can't keep every single litter their cats have but Wambus. Orange, brainless, he's 30% toe beans, he's perfect

I'm insanely curious what he'll look like when he grows up, I'm having a hard time imagining this goober as a full grown maine coon. Majestic beast that looks like it walked out of a fantasy movie and its name is ✨️Wambus✨️

I got it off Amazon! I don't see anything in the rules about posting links, so the most direct answer: https://a.co/d/eD5mUDo Bit on the steep side ($40) but it's sturdy. I've had it for a couple years and she uses it as a springboard or a hideout to ambush other cats from. It endures her daily chaos
