Unfortunately, the ribbon cable connector for the touch screen of my old 3ds has broken when I tried to fix the A button. Since Nintendo doesn't support old 3ds repairs, I will need a new one. Hopefully the closest time I can get a new system is by Christmas. I can't work on Lasership until then. -Scientist

thats sad, though can you still see the screen or is it fully off?

I can see things (normally) but I can't touch the. The broken connector is what puts the touch in the screen. I wish there were external touch pads/screens/keyboards for the 3ds. I'll see if blue puddy fixes it. -Scientist

Oh nooo!! 3DS' are too fragile

^yeah^ though this is where the pictochat type typing would come in handy for a custom editor

Is this an alt account of scientist's?

I guess lol

Actually, I'm borrowing my brother's 2ds. I wish he bought SB. Then he would complain that he can't watch Youtube on it when he could watch it on his phone with faster load speed. LOL

pretty BAD :(

Once I get some, I'll try to hold the cable in with blue puddy. Still getting a new 3ds, though.

cool and good luck with that!

Putting that 3ds through pain and suffering in its worst. But it's all worth it.

yes.. I cant say how many times my 3ds has done this.. I have a list longer than you can imagine of things wrong/that happened to my 3ds/2ds. my screen is also one of those (I also have disconnected my screen cables, though it was an easy fix for me)...

Scientist!!!!!

The phone is awful for youtube

Sorry to hear your 3DS is broken Scientist. Hope you get it repaired or replaced soon.

Wouldn't puddy short it out? My 3ds a broken ribbon cable too :(

Sad to hear.

Puddy isn't conductive, I think, and I was careful to not coat the contacts. Didn't work though. Since a new new 3ds is too expensive, I may have to settle for a 2ds (deja vu). For now, I have to be content with bribing my brother to buy SB and using my phone when I can't use the functional 2ds. -Scientist
