Charge it?
Plug it in and try to turn it on after a few minutes. If it doesn't come on, try using a different battery and plugging it in. What's the condition of the battery that was in it?
Last time I saw something like that, the 3DS was turned on under water for a brief time.I tried these 2 methods but still no luck and the battery is fully charged (tested in other o3ds)

What happened to that 3DS before you lost it inside a closet?
Did you perhaps find it inside a... water... closet?
PS: No, I wasn't able to fix that 3DS.
Well, it's possible it is water damage.I don't know becasue i buy a used closet in a garage sale and i found it inside when i opened the door, maybe the last owner do that or something like.
could be a blown fuse, or the rather common "loose LCD ribbon cable" does it make a pop noise when you try to power it on?
so depending on what exactly you mean by "lights dont on", if you mean the screens dont come on, but the charging light etc light up, its probably the LCD cable (plenty of fix guides online), if no lights come on at all, i would check the fuses on it

I'd check the internals and take that battery to a voltmeter. It's possible it has degraded and its output fluctuating enough to blow the 3DSs fuse. If it is, then I'd dispose of the battery.
He's already posted that he has charged and tested it in another 3DS. It works in that one, though I'd still check it with a voltmeter just in case. So it would stand to reason his first 3DS has an internal issue. Hopefully, it's just one of the fuses.Nintendo already said that if you don't use the 3DS for exactly 6 months the battery is dead.

Actually it wasn't his 3DS, it came along something else he bought, so he doesn't know its previous history.Lol maybe he threw his 3DS out because it stopped working and 6 months later he found it and forgot why he threw it out.
I don't know where you heard that, but that's bullshit. Even if Nintendo did say that, there's no set time limit for when an unused battery can be considered dead. It's not a ticking time bombNintendo already said that if you don't use the 3DS for exactly 6 months the battery is dead.

I suppose either his English is hard to understand and I get it because Spanish is also my mother tongue, or perhaps you don't read.
