NEW 3DS XL having issues powering on and booting
Hi! I recently purchased this NEW 3DS XL from a third party. Initially the D-Pad and Circle Pad wasn’t registering, I took a closer look inside and bought a new Circle Pad, now as I learned online the top screen ribbons pretty much decide if the console wants to boot. After putting the system back together it wouldn’t boot anymore, it would give a blue light and hold for 4-5 seconds but sometimes a pop sound and sometimes not. Online I learned that the Pop noise pretty much determines something in the ribbons is wrong. Which I checked here and noticed the one ribbon has a bit of marks/dents but no noticeable tears or rips.
Editor note: After closing it back up it does this thing where when I try to power it, it won't turn on. I plug it into the charger the orange light stays for 4 seconds and the system will power but the blue light instantly goes out after a second. Now I'm really confused. Keep in mind this console was initially working before I opened it, so maybe I broke something or what I have no idea, would love extra input on this.
