Hello everyone.
I have an old 3DS which I didn't boot up for about a month. I thought it would be time for it to be used again since smea's hack is coming and I have a userland exploit.
My 3DS is at original firmware 11.6-39E. Last time I turned it on was a month ago to play Super Mario 3D Land on my official cartridge.
It ran out of battery while I was playing. I then put it in a drawer and never turn it on until yesterday. I plugged it to the wall and went to do something else immediately.
When I went back to it, 3 or 4 hours later, the 3DS wasn't showing any light. I guessed it was now fully charged. Still plugged, I pressed the Power button. Nothing happened.
I started to get worried. I unplugged the 3ds and try to press the button, nothing happens too.
I plugged it again, and I saw that every time that i plug it, the orange light stays for 6 seconds. No more, no less. Every single time.
When it's plugged and i press the button repeatedly, either the blue light flashes for less than 1 second, either the orange light does. In verrrry rare times, the power light flashes red instead of blue.
The console never turned on again. The battery and AC cable are both in good conditions. My 3DS was never fully opened, only at the layer where you find the battery.
Sorry for long post, I had to troubleshoot exactly what I had. Now thanks for your help guys, and let's fix this together
