the screen of my 2ds turns off and on without doing anything, even on the home screen and also while I play games and it's annoying and concerning me, also the touch screen is crashing a lot (errdisp)

That's probably hardware failure. Not sure what else you're expecting.

Unless you're comfortable opening these things up and tinkering with the interior, you'll probably have to find a local repairperson.

Ouch, I don't know anyone who could repair it, and I'm also afraid of ruining my 2DS, but thanks anyway.

Old 2DS turning screen on/off constantly could be a problem with the sleep switch (internally, not the plastic part on the outside). Electronics cleaner for the internal switch could help. If that fails: Solder in a new one.

Sadly the 2|3DS family is aging and shows more and more stupid issues. Repairing will be required on many of them so "just getting another one" is not a (real) solution.

don't take this as advice, seriously, don't, but could the ribbon cables be a problem? i know that it probably isn't the issue because the 2ds has no hinges, but even if it doesn't, they could still be coming loose, right? again, correct me if i'm wrong.

    Me and wifey was deciding on our next vacation, so I hung up a map on the wall, and give her a dart and said, wherever you hit, we will go. She threw the dart and it missed the map completely and fell into a trash can below on floor. So I said "ok Florida it is."
