    Hardware Help identify charge port on store demo 3DS XL

    Well, I finally heard back from the person that I received these from. He said "The systems were used in Best Buy stores for Demo purposes. The port is different as it hooks up to a dongle. Hope that helps!". So, does anyone have any information that they can add?

    I took a fully charged battery out of my New 3DS XL and tried it in one of these two units that I got in. The light on the front of the system glowed very briefly and then went out. The system wouldn't turn on at all.

    The port on these 3DS's are a little shorter and much thinner than a Mini DisplayPort.

    I had received these with some other retail promotional 3DS items and was told that they were retail demo units. One of them still had a little bit of the barcode price sticker on it and looked like it might have been from Walmart or Target. At this point, I'm just not sure. I'm real...

    I'll have to tear it apart again, but can this weekend. The motherboard looks like a full motherboard, it just looks different from any other one that I've seen in pictures. In the meantime, here's another pic that shows a little more (I had deleted it originally as it was too blurry). I've...

    Well, I was kind of hoping that someone here would say, hey I know just what you need ;) So far, it seems to be baffling everyone.

    The screen covers actually look great and I got them for a great price with some other cool collectibles.

    I was asked, so here's a couple closer up pics of the port with the cover off. I couldn't get a closer up shot that was clear. The solder job on this doesn't look like something someone at a store did. I was just watching a video of someone replacing the charge port on a 3DS XL and the solder...

    Thanks for the info and the offer. I could replace the charge ports myself, but was wanting to make sure that this wasn't something that Nintendo themselves did as I wouldn't want to alter their design of the demo units and would like to keep them stock. I have two units and both are...

    I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this, but 2+ hours of Google searches have returned no results for me. I received two store demo 3DS XL systems today. I was told that they are non-working, but they didn't come with "charge" cables. From what I've read, the store demo units are...
