Black screen of death?

So I've had this 3DS for years, it was the first system I ever played on and the first game i ever played on it was Ocarina of Time(good memories) But after nearly a decade now i had the issue where it powers up and you can hear the system sound but the screen stays completely off. I've tried all the old tricks like taking out the wifi panel and holding the L-up and A button when powering on. i checked what i believe is the ribbon cable that attaches to the camera, Speaker and top screen all had corrosion. I've cleaned them all and i still have the same issue as before.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi!

Is 1 of the 2 screens working and is the 3DS modded?

Anyway, replace the cable that is having corrosion on there. I would try that first and see how it goes.

The speaker flex cable is really fragile and replacing this one may fix the issue.
