Topic: Help Please! My 3DS Won't Work!

My 3DS is broken, i turn it on and the blue light comes on but then the system turns off and a clicking sound is heard, PLEASE HELPP!!!

@HELP_PLEASE sounds like one of the ribbon cables has come off. You have to open it up

@1UP_MARIO Ok, ill reply again when it works

@1UP_MARIO I just realized i dont have any screwdrivers to unscrew the system

Did you try contacting Nintendo to set up a repair??

@HELP_PLEASE I don't recommend for you to do it yourself. The 3ds is quite complicated to get into to and you could easily damage the ribbon cables. Contact Nintendo or a specialized technic

@HELP_PLEASE like others have said. If you don’t have that experience or never opened one up then just pay Nintendo or other tech company more money to fix.

I@1UP_MARIO Nintendo no longer will repair the 3ds unfortunately

@HELP_PLEASE Coincidentally, Spawn Wave had 3ds that didn't turn on, like you describe. Which, could possibly mean a screen went bad, or if the 3ds was repaired, sometimes the screen ribbons didn't get plugged back in fully (they seem fussy). I don't know enough to recommend opening your 3ds yourself, though. But if you do, this video may be relevant.

EDIT: Oh, this post & video appear to bolster what 1UP_Mario said above about the ribbon.

@TheSilentFlame your right they won’t. Time to get that screwdriver out

@1UP_MARIO pretty much what is the problem with ur 3ds?

@TheSilentFlame Sorry i havent responded to yall for i thing 3 or 2 months but my 3DS at some point, out of the blue, it turned off and will not turn on again, ive tried searching for help but was unsuccessful, but i would like to thank you guys for at least trying to help, im getting a new 3DS XL on my birthday on may 13 next month, and hopefully my 32GB Micro SD card will still have all the games i have on it and will not be corrupted files, thank you guys, thank you so much, goodbye and i will try not to forget yall, Good bye, i will be signing off since I only made this account with the intentions of finding a solution, but who knows, maybe ill come back, anyways, Goodbye.

@HELP_PLEASE Sure thing. Thanks for the update
