    Hardware N3DSXL Speaker crack but no power LED

    Hi folks I'm returning to a mod-turn-repair project I started a few years ago. I wanted to install Bluetooth audio onto my New 3DS XL, So I used a cheap 5 dollar Bluetooth transmitter and stripped it down to just the board. It's supposed to plug into a USB port, so 5v input. not ideal. I did...

    Gaming DS Phat power issues

    Thanks for the info. in the short term I'll investigate the top screen, as I didn't even separate it from the bottom face plate. By the sounds of it the battery is almost certainly an issue as well.

    Hi everyone. I found a pretty good condition Ds lite on ebay for pretty cheap, only problem is that it doesn't power on. I figured it would just be a fuse, but this was not the case. Turns out the L2 inductor was missing altogether. Put a replacement on from a donor board and now whenever the...
