Hardware Misc Broken fuses in an Old 3DS.

[OrdazC13]

Hello. I'm new here. It's a pleasure to make my first post on this forum. I have some questions regarding the fuses of the Old 3DS. A few days ago, I bought an Old 3DS at a very low price, but the problem is that, according to its previous owner, the console turned off while playing and never turned back on. After some research, I realized that the F1 fuse is damaged, and someone attempting to repair it also damaged the F2 fuse. My question is, could I use the same F1 and F2 fuses from a Nintendo DS Lite console? Here in my country, I haven't been able to find a replacement for those fuses.

yes, but if the board was already dead but with functional fuses, then it wouldn't matter

for op: this is not an endorsement, I dont know if the fuses are actually compatible

what you want to ask yourself though, is why the fuses blew in the first place. without fixing the original cause of the blown fuse, you're liable to just blow any new fuses right away

So, yeah, the DS Lite is toast, but I found a seller online who has fuses for the DS Lite. The thing is, they’re not sure if those fuses would work for my 3DS.

Another issue I found with the console is that I tested the battery with a multimeter, and it's swollen and completely dead. I think that might’ve caused the fuse to blow, but I'm not sure what you think about it.
