I recently got a broken New 2DS XL with the beloved popping issue.
When powering the device on, the screens stay black, the blue light comes on for a few seconds and then it goes out together with an audible pop from the speakers.
Internet tells me, this is due to some hardware not being detected/some ribbon cables not being connected.
Sadly, someone before me already opened the device up, and apparently wasn't too careful about it.
Both screen cables look kinda rough, but I can't see any real damage to them (doesn't mean there isn't). But the connector of the flex cable between the top screen and the game module slot is almost completely pulled off. I think that's the connector for the NFC antenna. Can that one cause the popping issue when it's not connected correctly?
What other ribbon cables can cause that issue?
Is there any way to diagnose which one is faulty, short of buying all replacement parts and plugging them in one at a time?
