Hi, so I recently tried to replace my new 3ds xl's circle pad. As part of the process, I needed to remove the battery (to remove the other back plate), which I did. However, during the process, I realized I didn't have the correct type of screwdriver to remove the back plate, so I put the battery back in and closed everything up.
However, I wasn't able to turn on, or even charge, my 3ds after this. I even tried putting a piece of paper behind the battery in case that was the problem, and still nothing. To be fair, I hadn't turned on the 3ds for at least a month before the procedure, as I was waiting for the replacement part, then got too busy to try to repair it, and I forgot to test if it worked before taking it apart. So maybe the battery died before the attempted replacement? Or maybe something is wrong with the battery contacts itself?
TL;DR: Is there a way to know if the battery died, or if I screwed something up during my taking it out/putting it back in?
