Well the battery is responsible for saves in the 3in1...so maybe the battery is dead?


EDIT: You said you battery is full, but how can you check?

 

[nate1579]

i ha don the charger for 12 hrs should be charged shouldnt it

What, you cant charge the 3 in 1's battery... easily.

 

[mcjones92]

Yea, you may have charged the DS but as for the 3in1, it runs on a regular battery. When did you buy it?

 

[nate1579]

i bought 2.5 weeks ago got it 5 days ago and never was able to save so i got to change the battery and how do i do that what battery do i need or am i misunderstanding or do i need to leave it o the charger for like 24 hrs then try if its chargeable i read some were its chargeabe but thanks for your help so far and yall respond fast

I also agree that your 3 in 1 battery is dead.

It's not chargable. You're going to have to replace it with the same type of battery. (Not proprietary, you should be able to find it at some drugstores.)

Of course, you'll need knowledge of how to solder.

ok i have no clue on how to soldier so is there a easier way to do this?

Get a new 3-in-1.

If possible, return the 3-in-1 you have right now as it is defective.
