Bought a used 3ds charger online for my 3ds, which has been in storage since 2017, since my original one was lost. however, when i plugged in the charger nothing happens. i had a feeling that it was a dead battery, but i am still not sure. lacking the necessary knowledge to meddle with the hardware and stuff, what is a potential root cause and how can i troubleshoot this issue?

Please measure voltage of the new charger and voltage of the battery.

Of course this is just a simple test when not applying any load on either one, but it is enough to see if something shows next to zero volts.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
