Hello, So my 3DS XL is not working :(. I’ve taken it apart once before to fix a charging issue, so Nintendo is not going to fix this (much bigger problem imo) for me. Here’s what happens.

  • Press the power button; the blue light comes on
  • The blue power indicator remains on for approximately 3-4 seconds
  • The 3DS XL powers off with a short “pop” noise
  • The “pop” noise plus the blue power indicator turning off are the only forms of feedback - there is absolutely no feedback from either of the screens on the device. Any ideas what the issue could be? I’ve read that it might be a damaged ribbon somewhere. I fear it may be a broken mobo, but I have no clue how to check this. Thanks,

Charge it try to turn it on while charging it if it still doesn’t turn on if you still have the recipt and demand a refund , or go to [http://www.nintendo.com) and comile complain like no tomrrow

This seems like it would be a battery issue but idk
