Recently I've found that my 3DS will not turn on. When I press the power button, all that happens is that the blue light comes on and turns off. Since I can't even boot into luma or godmode9 by holding start or select on boot, I assume this is a hardware issue. (And yes, I did make sure it was charged before I turned it on.) There's some white dust on the battery- is this indicative of battery failure? Now that I think of it, the battery life on my system has felt unusually short lately. Where should I get a replacement battery?

    Nuh that's only if you drink what first comes out when distilling, you must throw out the first part of it when it starts running. (Its called the "head(s)" of the run) Or use it for fuel or a general purpose cleaner
