Hi everyone. I've yet to crack it open but I acquired a broken 3DS today.
The charging light comes on but the power does not work. I tried with and without battery in and it will not turn on at all.
I haven't checked with a new battery (but will later) and I can't check voltage (but again will later) but the weird thing is that if I mess with the power plug and pull it out slowly and wiggle it, the power light DOES come on for a split second and is red - as though the battery is not charged.
Any thoughts on what could be the problem?
Until more tests I can't confirm anything obviously, but does this sound like maybe a fuse is blown so its not supplying the battery with power?
