Homebrew 3DS broken overnight??

[Mnecraft368]

i had (have) an O3DS, turns on the pops and goes off (not the point) didnt use it for a while and i got a similar problem, i just had to charge it for about an hour and i could get the system to "boot" again, (Same error tho).

Did you leave it plugged into the charger over night by any chance?

no

Are you sure you did nothing but play games the whole time since it booted last? You haven't tried to install anything that could affect the LEDs, or anything more system critical than a game?

just play kirby

Does your battery work at all? (e.g. in another 3DS / wired up to a DSi or even an LED)

If not, I would contact Nintendo. You'd probably lose your A9LH, but a working 3DS is better than a hacked paperweight, imho.

im going to see if i can get my money back from ebay first.

any chance you can get your hands on a multimeter and open your 3ds? maybe somehow something just happened with power delivery (so just the charging port is broken) and the battery is dead af, which honestly is a best case scenario, but yeah this sounds like it was a faulty 3DS they sent you in the first place, has the charging port ever worked since you had it? or is this all just recent?

It worked fine and i have had this 3ds for about a week.

UPDATE, the battery must have been so drained as i just left it in and now all the LEDs are working.also powers on, anybody have good ideas about replacement batteries?
