Hello smart people -

My son's 3DS fails to turn on.

Battery tests OK (4+ volts)

When charger plugged in battery charges for a while then stops.

When battery pulled out charge light only stays on for a few seconds then goes out.

Completely disassembled unit to check the fuses on the main board and they test OK.

I'm stumped.

Anyone have suggestions? Thanks.

Maybe you need a new battery? It sounds like its fried. You should be able to get one off eBay or amazon!

Hi Rose - thanks for the suggestion. I just tried a new battery on Friday and no luck. It isn't the battery.

I just ordered a used mainboard off eBay... hopefully that fixes it! :)
