The 3DS XL Camera is not working properly.
The 3DS XL Camera is not working properly.
You're experiencing issues with your old 3DS XL where both front and back cameras are non-functional, leaving only a black screen and system lockups. Despite having the latest software, reseating the ribbon cable, performing a factory reset, and even accessing camera calibration settings, the rear cameras still work partially. What advice would you like to hear?
Based on what I observe, it seems unusual. It might be that the rear camera is damaged. I'll test it using a multimeter.
This means you should change that part. I discovered the top match on Amazon by typing "Replacement Camera": https://a.co/d/4YY1ti6
