Manufacturer description
New 3DS LL NOT WORKING DOES NOT POWER ON. I bought this in rough condition to try and repair. It powered on and screens were good but the buttons or touch screen were having ghost inputs making it unplayable. I bought replacement button board, trigger buttons and touchscreen but I think I messed up the cable connectors when trying to swap them because now it doesn’t boot. May need new motherboard. Comes with new button board, new touchscreen (hasn’t been installed). The thumb stick wasn’t put back aligned correctly but was working. Right trigger button is cracked and fell out when opened but…
