Hardware A day I didn't want to look forward to :(

[petethepug]

I am having problems with my 3ds, I don't know if its a hardware failure or if I did something on PKSM, closed the software while it was still "closing the software" by turning it off and after a few hours turned it back on and all of a sudden it just blinks red when being turned on and just turns off after that.

I have Luma 3ds installed to so, I don't know if its anything homebrew related or if the 3ds is ded.

Could it be that something was corrupted?
PS: It was low on battery to, so perhaps like an Apple Iphone it just gives te signal it has no more battery life?

So I guess you can say, it was unfortunate I don't have a charger

Blinking red usually means low battery

Blinking red usually means low battery

I will charge it and go from there
If that doesn't help it's probably the battery becoming lose or something or needs to be replaced.

Wish me luck

What?

I was gonna ask if you had charged it yet, but then you posted at the same time I did saying you were gonna charge it.

I had this same problem, i fixed it by removing the sdcard, placing it in a pc and re-inserting it in the 3ds.
I even bought a new battery thinking it was that, but it was just that crap.
Good Luck!!!

I had this problem too. I managed to solve it by charging it with power.

Is this bait?

And now you're playing with power... right?

If troll then try taking out the battery and put some rocks in instead that's works for me

This was the problem, not enough battery lmao.

Sorry for freaking out, I have just never had it happen to me before lol. And since I did something with the system and just shut it off, I thought that was the problem lol.
