For details I haven’t use my 3DS for about week or 2 before deciding to play it, 3DS is working fine until I charge it, would only charge for a few seconds and its not even fully charges. Decided to buy a new charger, same results, change the battery, same results. Although if I leave the 3DS for a long duration of time take for example 4 hours and proceeds to charge it again, the charging would last more by a minute or more until it stops. The 3DS recognise that a charger is on it with the battery charging symbol on the top right of the screen but instead of a orange indicator. a blue one appears.
Any idea what’s the problem?
Your chargers are fine. This is a battery problem. You can read this guide for replacing your 3DS Battery: Nintendo 3DS Battery Replacement Here is a replacement battery: Nintendo 3DS Replacement Battery If you need any help please reply to this answer. Thanks, John
If the battery is fine, check the F2 fuse
Hello, I was having the same issue. I removed the back panel and simply removed the battery, blew off the battery slot, and put it back in. And now it’s working fine. I went for about 2 years without powering it on.
