Thu, 09 Jul 2026 02:26:42 -0700

So I have tried cleaning the board contacts, changing the dome sticker. making sure the ribbon/flex cable is on correctly, I ordered a new board same issue. Im currently waiting on a new flex/ribbon cable. but the one I have im not sure shows signs of issues. is there any next steps to try or trouble shoot before I have to just get a new main board?

all the other buttons and functions from that board are 100% fine is really just the y button.

New Nintendo 2DS XL: 3ds will not charge not even the orange light is on

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 11:49:10 -0700

备注:

I'm uncertain about the issue I'm experiencing. It could be related to the AC adapter not functioning properly, a problem with the charging port on the device, or a faulty battery. I need to troubleshoot to determine which component is causing the problem.

Nintendo 3DS XL: 3DS XL lower hinge barrel sticking out

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 05:56:41 -0700

Hi. I just purchased a used 3DS XL. All is working fine, except for one presumed flaw at the hinge barrel. As you can see in the photo, the lower half of the center hinge barrel sticks out slightly compared to the upper half, about 0.5 millimeters. The hinge opens and closes normally though.

I wonder if this should be a concern and should I be doing anything about it to prevent any breaking down in the future. All advices are appreciated. Thanks!

Joy-Con: Stripped back panel screw on Joy-Con - rubber band and foil didn't work

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 22:09:54 -0700

I am trying to replace the joystick in my Joy-Con using the iFixit guide, but I am stuck on the very first step. One of the four Tri-point Y00 back panel screws is stripped. I've already tried the rubber band trick and using aluminum foil, but both just puncture because the screwdriver is so sharp and pointy.

What are some other ways to remove such a small, recessed, and stripped Tri-point screw without damaging the plastic shell? I don't want to drill it out if I can avoid it. Any advice from people who have dealt with this specific Joy-Con issue would be appreciated!

Nintendo 3DS XL 2015: question about my New 3DS XL A button.

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 22:06:48 -0700

the A button on my "New" 3ds XL is still responsive, but i hold the button down and wiggle my thumb, it registers that I'm pressing it again. I'm trying to figure out if its a sign of wear or just a normal quirk.

Nintendo DSi: My Game Card Slot 1 isn't working properly,even tho I hear the click.

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 23:52:52 -0700

l still heard the click of the Game Card Slot 1, but there's no game appearing on the screen. How this happened is l got my DS-i and my little brother was impatient at the time. Very impatient to the point where he put the game card in REVERSE, causing the Slot 1 to not work.

Nintendo 3DS XL 2015: Why won’t console charge the battery but will turn on

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 14:18:10 -0700

I just replaced the charge port and the console will say that it’s charging but the battery won’t actually charge, the only idea I have left is to replace the power board

Joy-Con: Joy Con still drifts just after replacement

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:56:10 -0700

I had a really bad up/left drift problem on my left joycon, so I ordered the repair kit and followed the guide. After replacing the stick it now has a slight downward drift problem, noticeable in calibration and while playing a game (tested game was Animal Crossing New Horizons, the character would slowly move downward when the stick was not being touched)

Nintendo Wii: Wii Disc Drive Broken Gear - Possible to Fix?

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 10:39:02 -0700

I have a wii disc drive that will accept discs, but will not eject them. Upon tear down the disc drive makes some noises presumably coming from this one gear i noticed. On closer inspection it seems this one plastic gear is slightly cracked? Is there anyway to repair this or, is buying a new disc drive my best bet? Attached is pictures.

Nintendo DSi: Nintendo not powering on after replacing top screen

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:33:53 -0700

I followed a guide to replace my broken topscreen on my Nintendo DSI but now it wont power on again. It worked fine before but the topscreen was broken.

After i replaced the screen and was about to put everything back together i noticed a connector wasnt on the board like on the guide i watched

I tried turning on my ds but it wouldnt power on and when charging it just showed a orange blinking light.

I've tried reseating the battery but that didnt work. Then i looked up people with similar issues and they soldered the connector cables like this and it worked for them

I did the same thing but it still won't turn on for me. When i try to charge my DS it still just blinks on the charging symbol and when i press the power button it shows a blue power led but just for a second. I hope i didnt mess up on the soldering on my ds as seen on the image since its my first time soldering.

Is there anything left for me to try? Idk if replacing the battery makes sense if it worked before replacing the screen

Nintendo Entertainment System: Why won't the screen and red light stopping blinking?

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 10:26:00 -0700

Maybe my NES has finally had its last day of life, but I think it can be fixed some how. When I put in a game and start it up, I get a flashing screen and blinking red light. I have taken apart my NES, cleaned it and moved the connectors closer together. It works occasionally now, but I wanted to know if there was anything else I could do to restore it and hopefully make it more functionally?

Update: Bought a new 72-pin connector from ebay. Will get back to you guys with the results.

New Nintendo 2DS XL: Where is the backlight controller/chip on the New 2DS XL (JAP model)

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:33:35 -0700

I've tried 3 different screens on this New 2DS XL I have here, and all 3 even the known working one(s) don't work on it, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the backlight that isn't responding.

I can't find anything online about the backlight controller/chip, so I figured I'd ask here and on Reddit.

Anyone know or can help?

Nintendo Switch 2: Right side joycon port no longer detecting joycons.

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:30:43 -0700

I did a shell swap on my switch 2. It wasn’t difficult and I didn’t poke around more than taking the back plate off and replacing it with the new one. After powering my switch 2 back on, the right joycon port on the console itself doesn’t register either joycon. The left side works completely normally with both joycons. I purchased and replaced the right side connector following the guide on this website. Still no dice. I’ve cleaned the ports on both the joycon and the console. I’ve done everything including a factory wipe of the console to rule out any software issues. I cannot figure out what is causing this.

Nintendo Switch: Switch is days charging but still shows low battery after battery swap

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 23:56:17 -0700

So, a while back I bought a cheap broken v1 Nintendo Switch hoping to fix it myself. The seller said that the issue was that it was put away for a long time and when they picked it up to play it didn't turned on, for me it looked like a tell tale sign of a dead battery

I finally bought a replacement battery and swapped it, at the start it just showed the Nintendo logo and went black but I left it to charge overnight and when I checked it, it showed the low battery icon which I thought it was a good sign. It is as of now 4 days straight charging (more than 100hs) and it is going back and forth between showing nothing unless I try the hold the power button for 20 secs hard reset and showing the low battery icon

When I opened it I saw it has part of a mod chip soldered to the board, I didn't knew about that and the seller didn't tell me either. I was worried it might have some board issue, but I don't fully know. I gets warm so I think it is charging, but still no sign of life

I mostly would like to know if there is some quirk about swapping batteries that I might be doing wrong, I heard that the charging time of a fully drained battery was long, but is it this long? Or if there might be a board issue and it's an unfixable Switch

Sorry for the long text, but I thought context might be needed and it's my first time messing with a Switch (also, English isn't my first language)

Nintendo Switch: Volume up button still not working after repairs

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:06:52 -0700

I've replaced the power button board two different times and every time, the power and volume down buttons would work but the volume up button still isn't working. I think it's some kind of software malfunction or something like that but I also tried factory resetting my switch and that didn't work. This person (Power button not working after replacing power button board) asked a similar question 3 years ago and never got an answer so I think this problem is a lost cause.
