Device:
Hello,
Recently I got a 3ds - The small first version.
When I plugged it into the charger, I noticed the light turn on, but when I try to turn the device on - nothing!
Answer(s):
Could be a bad battery.. You can get them from Ebay or go to a repair shop
Check the F2 fuse next to the battery contacts (for the 3ds it located underneath, other side of the logic/mother board). If the fuse is blown, then then system will charge for 10 sec and then stop.
You need to charge it longer. If no response continues, try replacing the battery.
