Hardware 3ds Won't Turn On

[Cyberlinkist]

Heya, my 3DS had been fine for years, but a few months ago the battery got bloated. It would keep a full charge for about 5 minutes but then die. So I bought a new battery, and when I put it in I tried to turn it on the blue light blinks and turns back off. I put in the old battery again and it does the same thing so I don't think it's a bad battery I think it's the system. Anyone got any ideas?

try take out SD card and boot up to see any differences?

tried it, but let me try a few more things with the SD card, didn't factor that in.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Ok, so I got it. It wouldn't react to the SD card, but then I took it out, pushed the power button, and then pushed the SD card in AS the light was coming on. The light stayed on and after about a minute the system booted up. Thanks for the help!
