3DS PSA

GUYS! Before you trash that broken 3DS/DS that wont turn on, or is otherwise nonfunctional, OPEN THAT THING UP AND CHECK ITS RIBBON CABLES!! The 3DS/DS family is NOTORIOUS for having fiddly ribbon cables that go loose so, so easily. It's something to do with the way the hinges function. And when a ribbon cable comes out, it can cause insane problems that make it seem like the entire thing is completely broken. Top signs your DS is fine but there's a loose ribbon cable:

When you press the power button the LED indicator flashes blue for a moment and then turns off One or both screens aren't turning on but sound is playing Certain buttons aren't reading, or are only reading occasionally

CHECK YOUR RIBBONS!! There are really good guides on how to open up and inspect your 3DS on the internet. My favorite guides are the ifixit ones. Be so careful opening up you console, though. Turn it off all the way, remove the battery, and then start getting into it's meat, slowly and gently.
