Hello bought a used New Nintendo 3Ds XL and when I went to update it, it gave me this screen. Can someone explain what this is and how to fix it?

My 3ds randomly today just stopped charging, it was charging just normally all day until I unplugged it so I could install something, and honestly I plugged it back in there was no charge, no orange light, no nothing, am I cooked?

(Edit: my charger just broke, I tried it with another ds and the charger also didn't charge so I'll be getting a new one)

Hey, it's Matthew again. I recently got the 3DS in the pictures fixed using a parts New 3DS XL, and it holds a charge! One major problem is that younger me scratched this screen with a metal tool before because I never thought it was ever going to work. I don't want the hassle of taking apart the screen and replacing it, so I want you to comment some tools to remove the scratches. Thank you!

I don't quite know where to post this but, I would love to see some fangames ported to the 3DS. Having sonic and the fallen star or sonic triple trouble 16 bit on the go would be amazing. ill bet if sonic rush 3d was built from the ground up someone could port it. I know it would be an absolute pain to get it running as the 3ds really does not have the power. but the 2011 sonic cd and 2013 sonic 1 and 2 ports where added so it cant be that hard to port them. yes i know about the steam deck and no, i am not forking up the cash.

I noticed this defect only on Pokemon ruby ​​and sapphire and on FBI. In the home and other games it doesn't seem to have problems. initially I thought it was the screen to be replaced, but the problem should be present on every screen. I tried to search, but I didn't find any solutions. the device is a 3DS with CF. has anyone had the same problem???

Looking to purchase my first 3ds to mod

So my new 3ds XL stopped taking a charge one day and I even tried replacing the battery and nothing. The charge light still comes on when it’s on the charger but it doesn’t charge it at all.

I don’t know how this happened is there an easy fix or is it over

I decided to give my 3DS a new chance at life and purchased a new in box Japanese 3DS, I plan to do a mainboard swap after I take my 3DS mainboard out and clean it up/inspection for anything that might require a more in depth fix. Anything special I should know for a mainboard swap?

I recently purchased a set of non-oem faceplates that do not fit properly. Does anyone have a recommendation for plain white faceplates that fit correctly?

I'm thinking of buying a new 3ds LL as an upgrade to my old 3ds nonXL can I just put the sd card and it will work? btw it is modded and the 3ds I'm buying is not modded thank you!

I have a 3ds xl and accidentally bought a carry case that fits a ds and 3ds. Will my 3ds xl still fit? Or am i cooked? 😭 (btw this case was $70)

My rubber analog cap slipped off of my analog stick and i want to buy a replacement

This Galaxy New 3DS XL stopped turning on about five years back meaning no chance to system transfer, no time to really mess around with it besides swapping batteries (no dice) so the lights all come on and screen flickers for a second before getting stuck here altogether.

Force resets holding all buttons are mandatory to turn it off besides letting the battery drain itself. Any operation ideas or tips to restore are greatly appreciated, not keen on shelling out for a whole new system if I have the tools and advice at my disposal. Thanks!

I recently got a used 3ds, mainly for the software (Pokémon Bank and Pokémon Transporter) but it's definitely seen better days. Any time you try to use a camera, it crashes whatever application it is using, the A button is barely responsive, the shell is pretty dinged up, and it would probably need a new card slot. (or a deep clean at the bare minimum) I also just found a fairly cheap used 3ds XL ($150, nothing but the console), it has been tested, but all that is reported is that it turns on, none of the small features have been tested, should I try to give my current 3ds another chance at life, or should I buy the used XL and transfer the system memory over if everything is in working condition on the XL?

This happened a year or two back when I tried to pick Pokémon Moon back up, it's the cartridge, not the digital version and would randomly freeze, distort colors, and these lines appeared, this happened a few times, and hasn't happened since, granted I've only put in a few hours because I worry that I'm risking my progress with this issue having over my head. Any guesses?

Im am constantly getting error codes while trying to redownload software i have on my account
