3DS XL Camera not functioning.

[WVLTT]

I have an old 3DS XL. The front camera or back cameras will not work. Just a black screen, and the system will lock up.

It is running the latest software.

I have tried safe mode whatever.

I have reseated the ribbon cable.

I have factory reset the system.

When I went into settings to recalibrate the cameras, I do get live video feed from the rear cameras. So I know they work to some extent. Advice?

Check see if the ribbon cable got fractured

From what I can see, It doesn't look like it. I think it may be that the right rear camera is fried. I will check with multimeter hold on.

Ah. Confirms my suspicion. The right rear camera is indeed broken.

In that case you would need to replace it. I found this first result on amazon to search ``Replacement Camera``: https://a.co/d/4YY1ti6
