I have a strange issue with my 3DS’s screen

[Released: 2011] The 3DS is similar to the DS, but is capable of projecting stereoscopic 3D effects without the use of 3D glasses or additional accessories. A redesigned "XL" version of the console was also released.

I have a strange issue with my 3DS’s screen

Post by /3ds »

A couple years ago my 3DS XL’s top screen became very bright and cannot be adjusted. You can see in this picture that the top screen is much brighter than he bottom (The system brightness is set to 1). The backlight also stays on when the 3DS is in sleep mode.
The brightness is very uncomfortable and causes the battery to drain abnormally quickly. Does anyone with 3DS repair experience have any idea how difficult and how much it would cost to repair it myself?
It happened when my 3DS crashed after opening the lid from being in sleep mode. I have tried formatting the system memory, but I am certain that it’s a hardware issue
I have a New 3DS, which is why I left it for so long, but I am looking to homebrew this one and if it is relatively inexpensive to repair then I would like to do that
