Hardware N3ds xl stopped working completely

[mariosonicfan123]

so this morning, I was playing smash bros 3ds and for whatever reason, the 3ds just shut down by itself, no warning or anything, then when I tried to turn it back on, the 3ds just won't power on. The blue led is not present at all and I am still trying to power it on but nothing happens. any idea on what I can do to fix this problem? yes I do realize that I am posting this literally on April 1st but I really need all the help I can get... thank you.

i tested the battery right now, seems fine to me but i removed it and still nothing. i am not sure what else might be the problem. i'll go ahead and provide images for you all to understand what is going on.

When did you got the console?

 

[mariosonicfan123]

I had it since November of last year. Around black friday to be exact.

No warranty?

 

[mariosonicfan123]

No warranty?

Wasn't able to get it so I know I won't be returning it. Or getting it repaired

 

[Justin20020]

Maybe the battery died. Did u try to use the power cable and look if the orange led shows up? Try power the console with the cable on

I think you bought a faulty one.

No the battery is not the issue in this case and I just tried it, the orange light does pop up but it won't power on.

I want to call nintendo so bad about this issue but I fell like I might run into trouble if they find out I have cfw on my 3ds

The worst they can do is not fix it

Could there be a way for me to manually repair it? I mean I have the tools to go ahead and fix it..

I have no idea, try asking google

can you boot into recovery mode... hourglass or decrypt9 or luma?

Smash bros got so extreme it smashed your consoles nand chip.

it won't turn on at all, weird thing is that i didn't use any homebrew or cfw apps during this, i was just playing smash bros just as is and then it turned off.

Try new battery first. Than swap daughterboard, etc.

i have to buy a new one then? cause it can still charge, it just won't turn on...

@vb_encryption_vb
Hey wanted to ask if you was interested since I found a common thing in the N3DS XL SD nand readers, they all have MMC 4.1/2 support and the smallest chip is the GL827 SSOP28 which can be used to do hardmods without the reader outside.
