Chosen Solution

I had the ‘turning on but sound popping’ problem which I thought I fixed by disconnecting the faulty IR sensor from the device. However now the problem still exists but only when I put the screen in the maximum stance. When I leave the topscreen in the first position (like when the 3DS is sitting on my desk) it works perfectly. But with clip the screen 1 position further (like you would do when you have the console in your hand, it turns off again!

Hi, I don’t see thosr console too often at the shop, but I have a vague memory of having one of those consoles that had an issue with the screen flex cable that would get compressed when the top screen went into it’s last position. I don’t recall of we had to replace the screen or only reposition the flex cable. I hope this give you a trail.
