3DS only turning on when applying pressure to left lower side of console, opened and reseated all cables
Title says it all but I have been having issues with this 3DS on an off for about a year, I call it my zombie console because it never seems to want to stay alive very long, and when it works, it's only for about a week.
I suspect it is a hardware issue so I opened it up and reseated all the cables, prior to this I had to apply hard pressure to the lower bottom left side of the console to get it to boot (otherwise would flash red led and not boot) yes I replaced boot.firm and I also checked the connections on that side specifically but everything was fine from what I could see. After "repair" same behavior
I am wondering if there is a specific component I should be looking for when I conduct repairs or if there is something prone to failing I am unaware of?
anyways I am considering buying an ANBERNIC RG DS if this thing truly is toast, it would cost less money to buy this than a new motherboard. anyone have thoughts on this console?
