    Question 3DS Repair, any common problems?

    Hey guys, just wanting to comb the net for some knowledge! I just bought a non-working original 3DS (don't ask me why I'm not working on the slimboii) and from checking around on ebay it seems like the problem is somewhat common: When pressing power, the blue light comes on, and after a second...
