Where to find wifi card on new 3ds xl?

Hi, my new 3ds xl has 2 black screens that never go on even though the power light goes on and stays on. I read that in older models it was often a result of an unseated wifi card. I've opened up my 3ds xl but I can't see the wifi card, it definitely doesn't look the same as the normal 3ds / 3dsxl so I am wondering where it is and if the unseating is still an issue in the new 3ds xl.

It might not be the wifi card. If you have damaged ribbon cables underneath the left shoulder button, you may need repairs. I recently helped a friend with the same issue, and by messing around underneath the left button, I got the bottom screen to turn on. The top screen....I don't know. But if you get the bottom screen to work, I suggest not trying to do the same thing to get the top screen to work... *sweatdrop* (I ended up breaking it more after trying to get the top screen to work. I suggest being extremely careful. X'D)
