My new 2DS XL turns on, then off. I dropped it on the floor. No sound.

It flew out of my bag and fell on the floor. There's a small space on the top of the lid where I can see a bit of a red wire from the top and a yellow ribbon. I think it moved or broke something when it fell. There's no sound when it turns off like most people with this type of problem though. What should I do?

Hi Eren, The fact that your 2DS XL turns on briefly before shutting down means that the top display ribbon cable has been severed. Here are your options:

  • If you're comfortable tinkering with electronics, there are online guides and tutorials for repairing the 2DS XL. These often involve opening the console and reseating or replacing ribbon cables.
  • This is a risky option and requires specific tools and knowledge. There's a high chance of further damaging the console if not done correctly. I only recommend this route if you're comfortable with the risk and have some experience with electronics repair.
  • use the iFixit guide if you intend to do this.
