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 Bluetooth power switching with a push button and a power on/off toggle circuit from an electronics outlet. I tested the 5v Bluetooth transmitter on battery power, and it worked fine.
After installing the whole setup the console didn't power on at all. I uninstalled the modification and still the console would not power on. I used a second console to test individual parts etc. and have determined the fault lay somewhere on the motherboard.
When I try to power on, the power LED stays off. After a few seconds, a faint pop is heard from the speakers followed by a louder pop about a second later.
The console will still charge, and exhibit the same effect while charging.
interestingly, If I take out the SD card, the speakers do not pop.
Does anyone have any ideas before I go component by component testing between the two motherboards? I'm not sure what to try next.
The console and SD card do have CFW installed.
TIA
