Homebrew Classic 3ds overloaded and now its dead

[survivorevil]

Hello. I was messing around with my 3ds and administer more current than normally through the battery terminals. It was weird, first the orange light came up and then it just died. I opened it up and found out the eprom heats up really quick as soon as I plug the battery, even if I doesnt try turning it on, If I try nothing happens.

Just send it back to Nintendo and tell them it's their fault.

srs though, it's ded. sell for parts and buy another.

Not sure what you mean with "eprom" but the PMIC surely is fried it sounds like. You can't repair that at home without a rework station. Dump the whole thing as defective on ebay or sell the parts (later probably gives more money).

I thought it was an eprom. Its the big IC chip on the opposite side of the battery connector. The weird parts is that all the fuses are ok

That's the PMIC responsible for creating all the power rails. It's fried if it gets hot.
