hello on my 3ds viewer it says capture device is not found but when i plug in the capture card my computer makes the sound telling me something just connected so the cable and port should be fine right? is the capture card itself broken? I ordered it from here 3 years ago so if it is broken can i send it in to get repaired?

The issue here is that your computer hasn't recognised the 3DS. It's highly unlikely that the 3DS itself is the problem. It's perhaps the driver not installing correctly.

Imageimage search

Uninstall the driver, restart your computer and then install it again.

The driver can be found here; http://3dscapture.com/

Failing that I would suggest repeating the process but installing the drivers in safe mode. Keep in mind that certain builds of Windows won't allow installation in safe mode.

Is your USB input 2.0 or 3.0?

If it's 3.0, there are times when low level devices such as the 3DS and DS original won't be recognised. Try different USB ports.

Have you tried uninstalling and then booting to Safe Mode to then install again?

Sounds like a worn out USB-Port.
Don't mess with this Computer, try at a different device from a friend or so.
Donn't bend the cable or something putting force on it, as you might rip of the USB-Port with the traces - then it will not be repairable!

okay ill go check it on another pc but it doesnt have a problem with disconecting when i move it around and it doesnt say no signal it stays in it just says capture device not found but i could see it being the problem and so if it is itll cost 50usd basicly? i feel like this is a very simple replacement i would think atleast could i just do it myself or is it a little more complicated then that?

well idk a crazy amount about working on things like phones and small electronics most the stuff i know how to work is is mechanical like cars and i can build a pc which isnt hard by any means so idk the ends in outs i just want it fixed as fast as possible and if i can take the moment and learn something new that would be amazing to me i love learning new things but if its something pretty complicated it wouldnt be good for me to start with but i take it its hard cause of your response so could send it back to them and have them replace it for me or do i need to buy another capture card is it just completely toast? I just want the specifcs and would like more info on getting it fixed
