I'm having this problem with my 3DS XL. The bottom of the screen looks a bit strange (like it has a CRT filter), and when I open it completely, the console shuts down completely (some kind of circuit?). I have to close it and open it again for it to turn back on.
I should mention that I'm a PC technician, so I could open it and replace any parts if needed.
Does anyone know what this could be?

I’ve seen people mention a loose ribbon cable on similar posts, it might be worth opening and checking
Hmmm very interesting problem to have 😅
If I had to take a guess I would say that a screen ribbon cable is being affected by the shell opening all the way somehow. Maybe opening it up will reveal some kind of obvious problem?
Even as a regular person who isn’t a computer technician I found the 3ds very easy to open up and swap parts so I’m sure you would have no problem giving it a look over
Sorry I have no useful information really but I hope you do an update if you figure it out
