Weird System Power Issue

My 3DS is having a weird issue. When the 3DS's top screen's hinge is at about a 95-degree angle or less, the system works perfectly. However, if I push the screen farther back, the system fully turns off. I should point out that the system is not modded, meaning it isn't an issue after modding.

Answer this question I have this problem too

That is weird. If you are OK with it, can you open it up and check the connections on the motherboard?

Hi!

I’m afraid it’s related to the top screen..

I would replace it and test if that worked.

Note: it’s pretty difficult to perform this repair, so please check with the guide if you want to proceed or not.

Just be careful with the old screen, because if that's not the problem, I think you would want to return the new screen to iFixit for a refund.
