the screen of my 2ds turns off and on without doing anything, even on the home screen and also while I play games and it's annoying and concerning me, also the touch screen is crashing a lot (errdisp)

That's probably hardware failure. Not sure what else you're expecting.

Unless you're comfortable opening these things up and tinkering with the interior, you'll probably have to find a local repairperson.

Ouch, I don't know anyone who could repair it, and I'm also afraid of ruining my 2DS, but thanks anyway.

Old 2DS turning screen on/off constantly could be a problem with the sleep switch (internally, not the plastic part on the outside). Electronics cleaner for the internal switch could help. If that fails: Solder in a new one.

Sadly the 2|3DS family is aging and shows more and more stupid issues. Repairing will be required on many of them so "just getting another one" is not a (real) solution.

don't take this as advice, seriously, don't, but could the ribbon cables be a problem? i know that it probably isn't the issue because the 2ds has no hinges, but even if it doesn't, they could still be coming loose, right? again, correct me if i'm wrong.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
